Swing thoughts, all comments welcome

Hopefully the link works as doing this on my phone, if it is I am inviting comments on my swing of today.

Haven’t picked up the clubs properly in a long time, but with some good meets coming up soon and a bit more time to play now I need to get back on it.

Well it looks better than my swing

Looks pretty good to me .
The only thing I would say is you look very quick in the downswing .
Is that your normal tempo.?

Pretty much yeah, my back swing used to be a lot quicker so have to focus on slowing that down to keep some control.

Do you draw the ball and if so, is it controlled ?

I used to lose the ball to the right as I kept leaving the face of the club open, so I was working on closing the club face. I think this was down to my grip being too weak, so I strengthened this a bit a few weeks ago. 99% of the shots yesterday were draws and relatively controlled but this was a new feeling for me.

There are things I don’t like visually in the swing, but the strikes yesterday were consistent and the dispersion was also a lot closer than previous range sessions have been.

Be careful you don't strengthen your grip too much or the draw may become a hook.
Apart from that, a good swing.

There may be things you don't like but the result is what matters, not how it looks.
If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

Thanks Bob, I was trying to over do it, to get used to the feeling, then if I need to weaken the grip off slightly. Most of the draws were relatively soft, with the occasional big draw/hook.

Really like the positions on the practise swing, just have to make the real swing like that
