Video of my swing

[alex57834]

I just want to know if it's a good swing or not and any faults you can pick out. I'm very sorry about quality and light level and how it's on it's side. I'm going to do a better video on the golf course in 1 or 2 days time. By the way the club is a putter(I am in the living room).[video=youtube;cb6KL_litOg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb6KL_litOg[/video]

difficult to asses Alex due to the angle/light/putter

the guys that can best advise will need a rear and side on swing vid.

Exactly ^ get yourself outside and actually hit some balls, we all swing like Seve when there is no ball there.

 

[JustOne]

Without a ball I swing like Tiger Woods

With a ball I swing like Victoria Woods

 

[alex57834]

So get 1 vid on the side and 1 at the back

 

[JustOne]

One face on (like you have) and one from the side (from the right side looking down the line of the ball flight) .....hitting a ball

I think the first video was skyed or good(not sure). Second was good or skyed (not sure). Third was topped. Check my great golfing attire. It's my dad's voice in the backround.[video=youtube;mrmepPJNFks]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrmepPJNFks[/video][video=youtube;BR6-cvFLHRI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR6-cvFLHRI[/video][video=youtube;CRkl7KX8k0k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRkl7KX8k0k[/video]

Good swing, you've obviously been taught well.
There is one thing I would like to say.....
Take a look at your right foot at the end of your swing then compare it to anyone on tour.
Try and copy them and get onto your right toe towards the end of the swing

 

[garyinderry]

flexable little guy. i would break in two if i tried to keep my right foot planted!

 

[alex57834]

All learnt from a compilation of books and you tube videos. I think I must forget on the golf course to put my right foot on it's toe. One question, what would putting your foot like that do to your swing?

 

[CMAC]

It's a natural consequence of transferring your weight and turning your hips to face the target finishing with your weight transferred onto your left leg after impact.

Don't get confused with just pointing your right toe into the ground at the finish.

Have a look at Mark Crossfield videos on youtube, also ask your Dad about seeing your local pro for jnr lessons.

Ye , I am doing junior lessons but in a group. One to one is out of the question. My dad has spent too much already so I dare ask him.

Something some of the junior I know practise posing the perfect finish just like you see the pro's at the end of their shot. You're body gets used to being in that position after swinging so you naturally get all your weight on your left foot and you right toe is on the ground with your knees close together.

Its worth practising in front of a mirror the address, top of back swing and follow through. If you can make all of these positions feel natural through repetition when you swing your body will go to these positions as they are the most comfortable for it to be in. That is why when we try to correct a fault it is not comfortable, keep practising until it is comfortable.

All in all a great swing, good flexibility and if you keep at it with lots of practice you'll do well. Just keep getting regular checks from your pro, he'll have a quick look without the need to book a 121 lesson.

Your problem is a lack of weight shift. Think of your right knee hitting your left knee at impact.

 

[alex57834]

Do you actually hit your knee or is it just trying to do it?

 

[bobmac]

Do you actually hit your knee or is it just trying to do it?

Just try and do what Rory does and get up on your right toe and be balanced.
That one simple move will do lots of good things for your swing and help prevent any possible injury to your back.
