My swing

[Warren]

Hi, i'm driving fairly consistently & around the 180 - 200 yds mark. Any tips on improving, i'm sure there are a few?

Welcome to the forum fella...one of the resident know it all's, I mean lovely experts ( ), will be along shorlty to give you tips.

The only thing I would say is the fps rate of the camera is a bit dodgy so you miss vital parts of your swing! lol

Any chance on a better video for the nice pro's to peruse?

Would be really useful if you could answer the follwoing questions to give me a bit more idea about your whole game

Do you have regular coaching at the moment? If yes, what have you specifically been working on?
What do you consider to be the strengths of your game?
Weaknesses?
How often do you play/practise?
What is your scoring average/handicap?
Do you keep stats?
What is your strike/shot/shape pattern for the following clubs
Driver/Tee shots
Fariway woods
Rescue Clubs
Long/medium irons
Short irons

I have a few thougts about your swing but would like a bit more info before I comment

Hi Neil, not had any coaching at all, just kind of tried to work it out for myself from trial & error & reading tips in GM.
I would consider my strengths to be my driving & my fairway wood, my weaknesses pitching from around 50yds from the green.
I play / practise once maybe twice a week due to this is the only time i can spare.
I don't have a handicap yet.
I don't keep stats.
Not sure what you mean for strike/shot/shape patterns for the clubs question.

Would appreciate any helpful comments you have.

Cheers Warren.

Looking at the swing you have posted (it would be great to see one from front on) it looks to me like the club gets very close to your head at the top of your backswing, this is called, a lack of "width". This will lead to many movements on the downswing to compensate for the lack of width

Something that would certainly help you game is to feel wider at the top of your swing

The distance you have between the top of your hands and your sternum at adddress needs to maintained to the top of the swing. Feel like the club is further away from your head at the top (this is why it would be useful to see it from frint on, and also from behind if possible) If you did see your swing from behind you would certainly see a collapsed right arm at the top of the swing

Develop an awareness for width in your swing and I believe that you will improve you game

Look forward to hearing your feedback, as I said it would also be great to see your swing from the other angles
