You sure? You can have my swing if I can have your handicap! :thup:

Good grief, I nearly brought my lunch backup watching that....
I don't know what you're worrying about, it looks fine.
I think the main thing is a poor release resulting in the "chicken wing" and not closing the club face.

The thing I noticed the first time was backswing length. It was a lot longer than I ever thought it was, and a lot longer than it felt it was. It is still longer than I'd like and still doesn't feel like it is that long. To make a shorter swing I feel like I need to stop about waist height and then it gets to where I'd like it. Just cant get it consistently.

By all means change that if it improves the result of the swing (i.e ball fight, dispersion etc) but dont do it for cosmetic reasons.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I tried to shorten my backswing, because I tend to lose control over the club at the top of my backswing a bit when I overswing. So I did what felt like a 3/4 swing and there was virtually no difference on video. So I shortened it even further. Now I have the feeling that I am doing a half swing at the most and I can still sometimes see the clubhead out of the corner of my left eye at the top of my swing
But especially with the longer clubs it has helped me a lot to control the club better in the downswing. In Pennick's Little Red Book, he says he tells his clients to feel like they are laying the club onto the thumb of the right hand in the backswing. That's actually more of a grip issue than backswing-lenght, I guess, but that feeling has also helped me to stop the club form going too far back.

Yeah I need to put the time into get it short, probs just the wrong time of year to start working on it.
Ive just read the little red book, but mustn't have taken that tip in, maybe as you say because its more a grip tip. But I'll certainly give it a thought. Just got Pennick's little green book to read as well hopefully its as good as the first.
Yup, i was filmed 20 odd years ago by the area coach
I THOUGHT my swing was pretty similar to Ernie Els (My putting might be) but in fact it was more like an angry Jim Furyk, the first time you see your action on film I think most people get a shock!
I am over it now. Going to hit the range hard armed with the knowledge of what I have seen.
