My swing - big_russ

[big_russ]

Well, here it is! Feel free to comment whether it be good or bad.

The swing is in transition following a lesson from my club pro who has got me to try and take my wrists out of my swing. This should allow me greater accuracy, distance and better ball striking. So far so good and i have started to visit the left hand side of the course rather than right. Inow have a slight draw rather than a push right.

If i look a little crouched over the ball its because it is difficult not to when you are 6'10".(Thats the first and only excuse)

The two swings were with a 6 iron.

Did you have the camera on it's side when you shot the videos?

Russ, 2 questions if I may?
do your divots point left at all
did your pro mention your left hand in the grip?

berrymoss - I used the camera on my phone and had to have it standing upright, then i could not rotate it.


Bob, My divots are usually pretty straight although I do have a tendancy to flip my hands over at impact due to how wristy my swing used to be.
No mention was made of my left hand position but I may be a little on the strong side to counter the push/fade I had with the old swing.The main point from my initial lessons was to take the wrist action out of the swing.

I think your stance is a little to horizontal at address!

Either that or my head was a little too vertical when I watched it!
