My Swing

Posted by: user46706 | Tue 6th Feb 2007 16:52 | Last Reply

<P>In attempt to upload a video into a forum message I decided to show my swing which I recorded today at the range.&nbsp; Clearly Im not precious about my swing so&nbsp;please feel free to critique and offer&nbsp;any comment/suggestions - dont worry, Im thick skinned!.&nbsp; Im a 21 handicap player, and can instantly see from this that I tend to dip my head on swing through and perhaps could benefit from keeping my left arm a bit straighter.</P>

I still can't figure out how you manage to hit the ball so well with your feet so close together. I kept thinking you were going ro fall over, but you don't.

Looks good, a little hurried, other than that not bad. Then what do I know.
I'll have to get mine on here.

Be gentle.
I know its too fast, but I cant help it.
Notice the boy next to me, thats my 8 year old. He has the same problem as his old man. Always  wants to knock the skin off it. He its it 130 with his 3 wood.

I had it big time a couple of years back.Struggled to break 100. I went and saw a local pro, he couldn't even spot it till he videoed it. I have a good swing thought that works. I imagine some one pulling the club back, in my back swing. Works a treat. All ways seems to happen when I put on a few pounds.

Having tried to look at the swing at various points by stopping it, I too noticed that you were closed at the top[.

 As this seems to be the modern way of teaching I did not make a comment, but now that you have mentioned it yourself I would like to suggest that it is NOT your right hand position, but your left hand, it is not cipped to open the clubface at the top of the swing.

Im wondering if I should get extra stiff.

With all that analizing Chris, do actually enjoy being on the golf course? you know, enjoy the views, chatting to friends, listening to the birds. The feel of the sun on your face.

I've toyed with the idea of becoming that envolved with my golf, but I think it would stopme enjoying myself.

All the best.

It does sicken me when I play with a friend that can play off 8, and he only plays 2 or 3 times a year.
