Helps if you stand on the floor and not the wall   Sorry couldn't resist

I'm working on it be patient would be a lot easier in slomo  like Mr Falcus does .

 

Paul, tonight try and shorten your backswing and maintian your spine angle though impact your tempo is very good,

Paul,

My thoughts. You look quite bent over in your stance. Your driver swing set up looks a bit closed with your feet aiming well to the right.

I agree with Dave your tempo is very good,

John.

Dave L and John F. Below is the response I made to Paul when he sent me the video by email before he posted this thread. Amazing that you have both come up with the same answers.

Hi Paul. Impossible to offer any constructive advice as I could not get into the right position to see everything clearly. The tempo of the swing was lovely, only wish I had that myself. It appeared that you were reaching for the ball and I would like to see a more upright posture to correct this. Feet looked closed which is not a bad thing but the shoulders looked open which probably accounts for the slight fade of the ball. It will only take me a few minutes to set you up correctly and get you to swing on plane. This game is really that simple. It is us that make it complicated. You certainly appear to have the potential to be a much better player than your scores are suggesting. See you at the Belfry. Regards John

 

John,

I must have inherited your eye for the perfect set up

John.

My eyes at the moment cannot see, John.

Have you both got a cricked neck like me.

Yes, David, was hoping to get it corrected on your Explanar sometime.

I did ask Paul to send me the video file and I would have corrected it to an upright one for him, but he did not send it to me.

 Hi Paul, my humble observations: as mentioned the crouching (get a 1 or 3 iron andline it up down your spine, make sure you neck and behind makes contact and you'll have a good posture) and the reaching (have you ever had a problem with shanking? as that's how I foolishly tried to remedy it). You have a v full backswing but I think you deal with that well as your swing is fluid. Just one point I'd make is don't concentrate on seeing where the ball is going as soon as you hit it, keep your eyes on the tee and your follow through will be a lot tidier and may help for a straighter ball. 

Not that I know much but looked slight overswing and too crouched over, other than that quite good.

I'm going to post a new couple of Vids of mine in the next couple of days - one in slo mo, one in real time, then a fun one in realtime where I lace the sh*t out of it.
