What's the problem? They all went straight! :D

Welcome by the way. And kudos for having the courage to post your swing on your first post!

thks. well, i figure if I want an honest answer, I hav got to bite the bullet, right?
I'll say 80% of my shots go straight but if my tempo is off or when I try to swing harder, I will end up with an awful slice. I am not 6ft4 and weighs 220lbs but I wish I can maximise the potential with what I hav. I am currently hitting 7i to low 150yrds but I know I can do better than that.
took some lessons last year and ended up played worse.

Hi IHH and welcome to the forum.
Great swing.
:)

If I was being extra picky, you're a bit flat footed at impact. Not a problem on the driver but with the irons, it might explain why you catch them a touch fat every now and then.
Have a look at your right foot at impact and compare it to someone off the tour. (lots of slow mo vids on you tube)

Welcome IHH.

I guess I must be wrong otherwise someone else would have mentioned it, but it looked to me like your feet are lined up to the right of where you're swinging to.

i hav always tried to keep my lower body quiet at impact, if u r referring to feet getting off the ground like the pros, i think I will hav a hard time doing that as it seems to me, they are going all out on those drives.

really appreciate comments fr you.

well spotted, i too had the feel when I saw the vid play back. not sure f it was the camera angle or me but definitely will pay more attention to set up.

What I loved about those 4i hits is that as you've finished your back swing, you can see the ball just below the now horizontal club. Shows great consistency in flight!
