Forum Swingers!

She did smile at me after I asked her if she would mind looking after my balls while I went to the locker rooms quickly! She didn't follow though.

Not overly sure I made a good impression as I hit a shank which isn't something I do but expressed my displeasure fairly loudly.

Yeah....shanking in front of girls isn't usually a good idea.
 
Heres my driver swing, currently working on taking the club less inside and then clearing my hips faster so i dont lift up through impact. Then i can hit it even further :eek: However, the key is taking my hands out of it to stop the inconsistency

My mates captured mine last summer so I thought I'd share it with you all. What do you think, any areas you think I could improve on?

My name's not actually Dan. It's Bruce, and here's my real swing. There's a couple of issues I'm working on, mainly to do with the takeaway, and posture, other than that my coach says it's perfect.
 
Played for 6 or 7 years when I was (a lot) younger, then packed up for 25 years and started again just over 5 years ago.
Only ever had the occasional lesson, maybe 4 or 5 since I started again, but am currently in the middle of a series of lessons for the first time.
Current hc 5.

OOh a guessing game.

Go on tell us and I will let you know if its what I was thinking.

Well, so far I think I've done pretty well at improving my posture and shortening my backswing.
Swingpath was out to in. I think it's improved but not totally sure until I see him again.
I've been told I need to keep my hands out of the swing through impact but I don't want to fill my head with too much stuff at once so have just been working on the above so far.

He also said he didn't want to give me too much at once so I've no idea what will be next!

Watching the vids now I also think I'd like to slow the transition down a touch.
 
My previous swings from years ago at bottom of my signature. :D It has changed a little bit recently. Little bit less overswing now...maybe :D Need to play a bit more than once every two months!

Oooh, forgot one but too late to edit.

i had quite a big sway that I think (hope) I've gotten rid of now. :)

From last night. I seem to have picked up a lot of bad habits since I last properly recorded my swing. Posture is poor, bending from the waist rather than the hips. It's something I'm going to be working on over the rest of the winter. I'm actually striking the ball nicely all considered, but I think giving myself a more stable base to rotate around will only make things easier.
