Not the most qualified person on here to dissect a swing but looking particularly at the front on shot there seems to be very little weight transfer in the swing and if anything the weight is staying on the left hand side on the way back.

On the down the line shot it seems that you roll the wrists and come inside and flat which necessitates a casting action down and over the top. I'm guessing you smother some shots lose a few right.

Like I say those are only my observations. I do think practicing with the alignment aid and the overall pace of the swing are both huge positives. Definitely not the worst swing I've seen this weekend.

Have you got V1 home you can take any utube or whatever clip and slow to by frame draw lines and it's free to D/L

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I've got V1 which was free but I paid an extra £10 to get some pro clips to compare my swing against and the option of split screen to see two two swings side by side. Really good bit of kit and really helps me see what is going on with my swing

I just get the pro ones from utube and paste them in for free

Hi these 2 swings are where i am at currently. Pretty poor i know.

I think you're being a bit modest!

I think you have great posture, great weight transfer, great tempo, and a nice tight swing. Little bit wristy perhaps and a bit flat. Looks like you hit a high fade. With that swing you should comfortably be off low single figures... if you can putt!

Although I'm not PGA qualified (I didn't fancy selling green fee's in a pro shop for £5/hour) I'd be interested in analysing your swing for you (from my own perspective) if you're interested, if you say what you are trying to achieve.

As a few of the guys commented, a good solid action

One observation I would make that I think would tighten up the motion would be your left side stability.

On the way back your left knee moves towards your right knee and you will then notice this leads to your hips to tilt (your left hip is below your right at the top of the swing)
This will certainly contribute to you not moving nough weight onto your right side in the backswing

If you can resist the movement your top half makes when turning to the top of the backswing with a solid left knee this will improve the movement of the club in the backswing. Improving ball striking, direction and also possibly adding yards!!

I like my players to keep their lower body pretty steady during the backswing, any unwanted movement will always lead to inconsistent shots.

Try and feel the left knee moves to the left as your turn to the top of your backswing (this will feel like the opposite of what your should do but you will certainly feel a more powerful position at the top of the swing)

Hope that advice helps, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions/queries

Parky, what golf club was this filmed at? It looks familiar.
