advice / comments on my swing!

[gary125]

New member to the forum but have been viewing for over a year now. I have posted a face on view of my swing above and would just like to see what the general opinion on the move as a whole is.

Hit the ball pretty solid but can suffer from a slight push fade (slice). if there was anything you guys would pick up on after watching or anything to keep an eye on would much appreciate it!

P.s due to the portrait view I would recommend maximizing the screen to getting a better look.

Cheers

Welcome gary125.

I'm in no position to give you advice, so I'll just make a comment to get things started.

I enjoy watching swings at full speed sometimes because it can be difficult to get a sense of the rhythm from slow-motion swing videos. You seem to have very nice rhythm.

Also, everyone is going to want to see a down the line view if they are going to make any suggestions about your slice. (You probably already knew that, but I thought I'd say it anyway in case you didn't.)

looks like a good swing to me. I was guessing your miss was a high rightey from the looks of things. In the days of video only I would have tried to get you a little more behind the ball at the setup and up to the top so you could have some more room to release on the way down. I am not a big S&T guy. If you can seperate well enough on the downswing then it can certainly work, however I personally would not advocate it. You seem to be able to seperate the lower well enough to make it work so I would not try to change this in you. Truth is it is hard to tell why it is going right without TM/FS numbers. Simple setup tweeks might get you zeroed out a little better.

I would also like to see a down the line view.

From the face on the things that jump out to me as leading to the high right ball are as follows.

1. Very little lateral hip slide (too much "turn in the barrel") causing the club head to move inwards very fast through the impact area

2. Not enough right elbow adduction. It looks like (it is hard to see from the front, but I have watched it frame by frame a number of times) that you are internally rotating your right arm at the top of the backswing, throwing away the clubhead. and getting it moving a bit right to left in the impact zone. I think this also contributes to you having a rather fast overtaking rate.

Pretty good motion overall. Lots to be proud of.

Here is a down the line view I took guys.

I hope this gives you a better view for analysis.

I seem to come across the ball slightly (hard to tell on 2d video).
