Would you mind casting an expert eye at my swing please? My main faults are a slice with driver and long irons, and a weak slappy sort of shot that goes straight right with almost any club. Notice the Gary Player attire-I'm on lunch break from work!
 
There's some sort of buffering problem with that file which makes it jolt along. However it does have the advantage of freezing the ball along it's path. That one was a full-on duck slice.

I think you might be getting through the ball TOO well IMHO.
 
If anything its slightly out to in which will put cut spin on the ball. I cant help but notice your wrists dont really "hinge" at all on your take away. Not always a bad thing, just depends how you have been taught and by whom.

Its not that bad a swing at all in my non expert opinion. Work at it and it will soon be a swing winning you medals.
 
That's a tight driving range! File won't run for me, seems corrupted, why not youtube it instead?
 
I was thinking that my self MVP.

Looks as though Faldo was getting it wrong for all these years including winning all his majors. Nobody better than Faldo at "getting through the ball".
 
the file ran smooth for me.. Your swinging a little bit steep but only a little.

the hips look good. Could do with a bit more shoulder turn IMO

arms at the top of the backswing are good.

The pace of the takeaway is spot on. generally a good rhythm. Also You strike the ball really well. You strike the ball hard but controlled showing that you put the power in at the RIGHT time. Which is very good.
jsut try and turn your shoulders a bit more and keep your shoulds level when turning. on a second glance it looks like you dip your left shoulder a touch on the way round.

Good little swing tho.
 
What on earth does that mean your majesty.???

It means you clearly haven't learned to take your medicine like a man but instead insist on continuing to demonstrate the petulance and illogic of an overtired infant. Open that maw, i'm sure you can fit your foot in further if you try.


...and you will.
 
billyg,

we have a saying for people like you up here in Scotland and it goes like this

"away an bile yer heid"

If you have a problem with somebody keep it to PM's or dont respond.

As quaint as I find it that you feel the need to come and help your little friend when he scuffs his knee...

1) The need to resort to some sort of geographic kinsman-like affinity in order to create support is preposterous, simplistic, misguided and holds as much water as a collinder ( it's such banal cliche too that if I were indeed of Celtic origin I would rapidly be trying to distance myself from such self-defeating comments)

2)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

is neither a PM nor is the wilted subtext of a threat implied in:-

I feel entirely justified in openly lampooning a statement that is both uncharitable and denegrates an otherwise friendly and helpful site.

No doubt you will feel the need to scuttle away a have little PM between yourselves but I for one do not. Have fun.

I'm having trouble thinking down to your level and anyway there's no sport in besting someone struggling with the rudiments of open debate. I certainly hope your regular fourball doesn't have to put up with such poor competition.

An open text based forum is so revealing of people don't you think?

Now ive said my piece and have nothing further to add other than a sincere apology to the OP for taking such a dramatic aside from his original enquiry and a suggestion that, for the greater good of the forum, similar is offered to Boosh for being so nasty in his moment of distress.

Similarly I will not rise to further comment on this issue but reserve the right to point out foul pay as and when I see it and indeed comment on any topic that I feel interested to do so.There's not a great deal you can do about it. Until such time as I get banned for doing so, good day to you.
 
Might as well change the subject.


Stevie Wonder and Jack Nicklaus are in a bar. Nicklaus turns to Wonder and says, "How is the singing career going?"

Stevie Wonder says, "Not too bad, the latest album has gone into the top 10, so all in all I think it is pretty good. By the way how is the golf."

Nicklaus replies: "Not too bad, I am not winning as much as I used to but I'm still making a bit of money. I have some problems with my swing but I think I've got that right now."

"I always find that when my swing goes wrong I need to stop playing for a while and think about it, then the next time I play it seems to be all right," says Stevie.

"You play golf!?" asks Jack.
Stevie says, "Yes, I have been playing for years."

"But I thought you were blind; how can you play golf if you are blind?" Jack asks.

"I get my caddie to stand in the middle of the fairway and he calls to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball towards him, then when I get to where the ball lands the caddie moves to the green or further down the fairway and again I play the ball towards his voice," explains Stevie.

"But how do you putt?" Nicklaus wondered.

"Well," says Stevie, "I get my caddie to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball to the sound of his voice."

Nicklaus says, "What is your handicap?"

"Well, I play off scratch," Stevie assures Jack. Nicklaus is incredulous and says to Stevie, "We must play a game sometime."

Wonder replies, "Well, people don't take me seriously so I only play for money, and I never play for less than $100,000 a hole."

Nicklaus thinks it over and says, "OK, I'm up for that. When would you like to play?"

"I don't care - any night next week is OK with me."
 
BTT...

You setup with too much weight on your heels, I think.

you take it away slightly outside and slightly too steep.

I think your problem through the ball is a breakdown of your left side so I disagree that your hips are working fine. I think they're spinning out which is why just past impact you can see a gap between your legs. This swing is a recipe for a bad back, mate.

Try thinking of swinging into a firmer left leg. Feel like you're gripping the turf with your left foot as you make your transition and hitting into a firm left leg. This will give you something to hit against.

thew cure the out to ins simply think of swinging to the right of target. you can lay clubs down outside the ball on the path and swing along it or place insulation tape in a line both sides of the ball on that in to out path. Swing to a high finish with your hands.

Also, what part of the ball are you aiming at? If it's the back of it it's the wrong part. Lee Travino used to tell that most amatuers aimed for the back of the ball when they needed to hit the inside back quarter. aim for that instead and you'll soon cure those ugly shots.

Also
 
i am no one to be giving advice really, but are you holding the club a little far down the grip? And i would also echo you seem to have too much wieght an the heels of your feet when it should be mostly on the balls of your feet. I think thats why you fell slightly off balance in your folow through. Check out Video jug.com and check out why we slice the ball video.
