3 Wood Swing

[Kurt92]

Hi guys I've recently received a SLDR 15deg stiff for my birthday and couldn't help video myself using it.

I thought I'd pop it on here hoping for any pointers on my swing?

Thanks for any comments

What do you think. How is your ball flight?

A very good swing with a great transition, impact and exit point.
The only concern I have would would be the grip may be a little strong.
Do you hit it left at all?

That was obviously a good shot but they aren't all like that haha. My bad shots are a low hook recently yeah. I always look like I'm extending early on my hips when I look back at my swing but I can never seem to keep my balance if I try and keep my hips still.

Also I can never seem to get my club to parralel without stretching and going for it. Doesn't feel like I need to because my distance is already there but what could be the cause of that? Just bad flexibility?

Thanks again Bob.

Balance does look slightly on the toes (front of ball of foot) rather than 'in perfect balance'. Does seem to be a touch of EE and the finish indicates a small balance issue (left heel), though that may be a target-line weight shift/recovery, which may not such a bad thing.

If that's a 100% swing, then it might be worthwhile going to the 90-95% one, as the better contact normally more than makes up for the slightly lower swing speed. It's also amazing what effect weakening the grip a bit can have - all the way up to the right shoulder, which can have a knock on effect on balance!

Keeping the hips still isn't the goal...Moving them correctly is. JustOne has a (sleep inducing) vid of what's meant to happen and Crossfield has one on preventing EE using some aids that I have had success with (balance bags).

But I think I'd swap my doddery old half swing for that one if offered!

some good movement going there. enjoy the new club.

would be good to see address, grip & swing from face on to see what the condition of the spine angle/head is like at the top of the swing.

would be worth getting a rod/club down to check your feet, hips, shoulder alignment, parallel left of target line.

maybe the right hand is somewhat under the handle, so the V if so would pointing outside the right shoulder at address, face at the top looks a little way closed, which will have an influence mostly subconscious on the movement necessary to deliver the club face back to impact to get ball to target.

just into & at impact the posture angles have been lost a little ways, the pelvic & spine angle have all straightened up some so they are in a pretty vertical condition.

Thats due to the clubface pointing left at impact.
Try weakening the grip a little. That will fix the low hook.
If the contact is good and the change in the grip works, dont worry about anything else.
Just enjoy the good swing you've got
