Another approach is to (at least feel you) have the left hand/arm leading and the body following.

Thanks Just One really helpful .

What you say about getting in the slot but the difference between having turned or not i think is key for me, i'm definitely guilty of the latter.

What do you think is the best swing thought from the top of the backswing, getting the club to shallow out/ flatten,
I've read about hands falling, lower body moving forward before the backswing has completed, though really struggle with this move.

I wouldn't use the expression shallow/flatten per se... it just drops for a split second but retains it's inclination to the ground.

Interesting swing you have there.. you really hit the ball!!!!!

My personal impression is that to 'fix' your swing (if we assume it needs fixing) then we need to do it from the wrong end and start with the follow through. flipping your right foot over like that isn't good as it's representitive of a SPIN and not of a SWING.

I'd suggest you hit some shots with your right foot not coming off the ground more than 45 degrees.. so it NEVER gets to vertical or 'up on the toe'.

On your downswing try and think of it more 'rolling sideways' onto it's instep before it lifts a little after the ball is hit. This should help you get your hips moving a little more towards the target before you just spin out of the shot.

Sceondly (and this may fix itself) is to think that after you've hit the ball you have to swing up and over a set of golfclubs that someone has inconveniently left in front of your left hip

At the moment your follow through is too low and too 'around' which is actually helping you swing OTT (you might not need to worry too much about this if you can control that right foot!).

grab a couple more vids if possible and one from the front would be cool :thup:

Yep i like to give the ball a good whack, i find i'm just as accurate or inaccurate if i swing slow or fast, figure i might as well go for it :whoo:




interesting you said about the right foot i noticed my hips don't seem to stop or even slow down at impact like "better players", which i guessed maybe related, but i didn't change as thought at least im getting my weight through the ball .


If it's causing swing path issues like you say i'll definitely work on it.


The swing video was about a week ago, haven't had chance to try the swing thoughts from yours videos, im really looking forward to good range session tomorrow now


Hopefully ill be able to upload a video in the week. ( have a decent camera on order)


Thanks again if you can help me stop coming OTT il owe you :thup:
