Be gentle lol

You seem to be very "armsy" in that you turn but don't really get your strength into the ball using mostly the upper half. Where you hit the ball, it looks like you are trying to scoop the ball.

Hi firstly you must be keen its blowing a gale.Try lifting you chin up off your chest as its restricting your turn.Nice straight left arm in the takeaway.Im sure the real experts will help you out even more.welcome

Oi!!!! Given up on Stack and Tilt already Stu??????


You're flipping your wrists through impact which is why the impact is so poor, you are also moving away from the ball on your backswing which makes it harder to get in a decent impact position (let alone consistently).

Regards
James.

Posture is poor and restrcting your turn. Get a more upright position and try not to feel as though you need to help it into the air. Trust the loft to do it for you

Not given up James, just trying to learn how to hit a ball properly first

Gentlemen, some sound advice gratefully recieved, will be putting some of it to use tomorrow at the range!

Will upload some more clips when I get the time, from different angles too.

If anyone has anything else to add feel free.

Following on from Homer you do appear to be up and out of the shot a bit early. Keep your body down a fraction longer as you hit through the ball.

Also are you aiming at anything in particular? Its always best to have a target to aim for and align the clubface and body to it.

Nice rhythm to your swing btw, good luck.

Cheers, I was aiming for a target, but considering the wind , I wasnt getting too near it!
