I went out this evening for a few holes with my youngest son and took the video camera with us. Oppp's maybe a mistake. I got my son to stand behind me while hitting my driver off the 2nd tee. God my swing is so flat, I would up load it here but dont know how to. Any ideas how I can get rid of the flat swing. I'm trying to keep my left arm straight as much as possible but still I'm flat.
Any ideas greatly received

Try and keep the back of your right hand (if right handed) going straight back for as long as possible and let the club come up naturally and vice versa going through. Hope this helps

I was trying to upload through youtube but it wont let me, I shall try again tomorrow

i often have that problem. Just feel as if you are swinging REALLY steep and it will probably look normal.
Of course if you do that for quite a long time you will have a steep swing and will have to swing flat again...happens to me

Why would you do that? that will take the club outside the line.

The swing is an ARC, another word for CURVE.
Straight lines and curves don't go together.

Just to stop going too flat in the swing. I should have said take it back straight for about 6-8 inches then let the club come up naturally which will eliminate starting too flat in the first place.

What is too flat?

Well Im glad we got you sorted there CC, imagine having to go and pay for all the advice dished out in this glorious thread!
I use photobucket to host my videos, from memory it only works for certain types of movie files and the larger the file, the longer it takes to upload and download afterwards.

Thats the flat swing. Do you know how long it took me to up-load thise video?

 

[Owen_Thomas_14]

Its not that flat (mines is worse). Maybe try and hold your finish to help the consistency.

Looks pretty damn good to me. Nice swing and a cracking shot.

It doesn't look flat to me.

Lots of other interesting points, but flat? No.

Nice bowed left wrist a la tiger !!

Hard to tell with the collar of the top up but I think the address position with the chin tucked in isn't helping and isn't really giving you room to make the turn

Swing's not flat imo, half way back the butt of the club points at the ball pretty much. The club is just laid off at he top - that's from a bowed wrist.

Nice action - I wouldn't tinker too much except maybe flatten the wrist to get the club pointing down the line at the top as currently you'll need to correct that somehwere before impact.

Front foot pops up towards the end of the swing - is that supposed to happen?

If my back leg was that straight, i think i'd probably hit a fat!!!

really though, i know nothing about your swing, but like your jacket
