Videos of my swing and advice sought

[JustOne]

JO - I see you're going to the Cooden meet - would be good to be in your group! (smiffy hint hint)

I wouldn't bother - I'm rubbish!

...unless you've got good eyes and can help me find my ball in the trees, in which case you're welcome!!

The driver swing looked like it was carrying a bit of hook, it just looks like you're lined up a little too far right with practically all your shots (look at the new PW vid and it appears you're aiming down the right side) When looking down the line a viewer should be able to see your target if you are standing parallel left of it (square).

You don't need to change it (yet )... just be aware.

I know good golfers who would kill for your new swing. Great job fixing the transition.

Cheers for the compliments. I'm off out tonight for a few holes taking extra care with my alignment and trying reduce knee flex a bit. Lets see if it sticks!

Great job Jimboo, looks really good, if i can get my swing looking anywhere near that i'll be happy.

What swing thoughts did you take from JustOne's videos to change from were you were to this?

The answer is I don't know really I guess I just tried to 'feel' what I thought it should 'look' like. I don't know if that makes sense or not, but it seemed to work for me. Maybe I tried to leave my arms behind a bit more on the transition/downswing, and just thought "from the inside".

Firstly - a really big thanks for your feedback and suggestions - this change in my swing feels amazing (when I get it right) and I really feel like I've cracked something that's been missing for ages.

I went out again tonight to try and cement in the change. It was *mostly* good and I've taken some more vids.

As (sort of) requested there are a couple of face-on vids too. I've uploaded some good shots and some bad shots. It would be great if I could get your comments on the bad shots, and what the possible reasons are for them being bad. My bad shot now after hitting a fair few is a pull or a pull-draw. With the driver it's a push.

On the 7-Iron/5W shots, the flagstick is hard to see, but it's just over the bunker (left half of it). Sorry for the bad light in some of the vids.

I'm still pretty sure something's not quite right looking face-on, so would be really helpful for you guys to pick it to bits.

Thanks again
