What a good swing
Lots of great positions throughout the swing.
Some may say you're a bit flat but I wouldn't worry.
If I were being picky, I would ask you to look at your hips and right foot at impact. Ideally, your hips will have turned more and your right heal would be a few inches off the ground.
Strengths...........Clubface perfect at the top, great tempo and head hardly moves an inch
Good job

You look like single figure handicap to me, great tempo as someone already said.
Is your putting and chipping poor? - can see no reason why you're off 24.

I look at all the swings that are posted on here and have never felt the need to post a reply. I'm not qualified to comment like Bob is , however in this case I was shocked. I watched your driver swing and had to view it several times to believe what I was seeing. 24 h/c with that tempo throughout the whole swing , what a lovely balanced finsh too. My compliments to you and I will watch with interest your progress this year.

Is it better than your swing jammydodger?

It is a thing of beauty and much better than my "golfer having a fit" swing on here. I can't believe you are 24. You must either be a) a glory hunter or b) a glory hunter in the making who will clean up this year on the way to single figures.
Keep going. You have everything in place to have an excellent season

How far do you hit your driver and 6i?

Wow! - thanks for all the positive comments, I certainly wasn't expecting that!
Actually. along with the driver my putting and chipping are probably the best part of my game, I really struggled with the irons during the comps last year and have been working quite hard to get a more consistant strike with the irons through the winter.
Only hit a golf ball for the first time in January 2009, so last year was a steep learning curve in many ways, really hoping to get down to mid teens this year.
At the range the 6 Iron carries about 150, probably a little further with a decent ball on the course, I have backed off a bit to get more consistency. The driver carries around 220 again at the range, never measured it on a course and really not too worried as long as it sails down the middle!

It is a really good swing for your handicap but what i would say, and i am in no way qualified to say, is that you should turn through the ball more on your down swing.
Just my opinion but as i said great swing canny beleive your off 24.

Tempo seems great, Id say that you dont seem to "get through" the ball, is that you hitting the driver normally or easing off a little?
It looks fairly effortless but Id sasy you could get another few yards without sacrificing accuracy if you put a bit more weight through it.
Playing of 24 with a swing like that??? do you use your driver on the short stuff also?

Both, but here's your iron swing at impact

I'd say that was a normal swing, I have purposely backed off on all my shots to get more control.

lol No - but it has been mentioned that I would have been better taking the putter off the Tee on par 3's occasionally!

hi
you have great rythm which helps you hit the ball solidly
you have one major flaw in your swing which normally effects 'better players'
on your backswing you take the club way too much on the inside
this causes you to be flat on the backswing and you end coming over the top causing the pull/fade ball flight
a good drill is to stick a tee peg in the end of your club and swing halfway back you want to tee to be pointing in between your feet and the ball
the club should feel lighter now and on a more upright plane
there are many lower handicaps with worse swings than you
hope this helps
