    Besides the stupid distractions (trying to be too funny fail), how is my golf swing?

    (yes I know I have chicken legs, fuck off.)

    a bit quick, doesn't look too bad though going to the top, but then there's a big-time plane change that goes on from the top... it's an unorthodox method that works for some players, including tour pros... it seems a bit odd to me, but I'm hesitant to criticize because of the non-standard nature of your swing.

    Ya I just noticed that too, it looks like I lean forward. Seems like I would have pulled this shot, but it actually went straight.

    tad quick but your posture at the end of your swing looks good and square

    Good swing...If it's a full shot you should def make your finish a bit longer. You bring it back inside and reroute it back close to on plane..almost Bobby Jones like. He's a bit longer at top and longer finsh.

    I think its good lil shifty with the lower half but overall not bad, have good tempo, I think its a little quick and your take away could be more controlled but over all good need more than one swing to try and dissect a swing tho.

    Just a quick look but you take the club too far inside on take away followed by hands being too high at impact...either your clubs are very upright or you miss everything way right and short. Id start taking the club back on plane or even a tad outside the line and try to hit your right hip pocket with your right writs on the way to impact.

    A lot of lower body movement. Not only do you lose power not building up tension by disconnecting your top and bottom half but it will be hard to be consistent.

    What does "take it too far inside" mean? Like I take the club too low like a baseball swing? I know your really good at golf I just suck at interpreting what you say cause im retarded.

    The club is too close to your body at takeaway....Notice the club facing to the right of the target when you stop the vid while the club is lateral to the ground.




    Now outside....



    Need to be somewhere in the middle.

    With the over the top motion at the top of your backswing I'm guessing your miss is either a dead pull left or a shot that starts straight and bleeds off to the right.

    It's tough to stop that motion, but what I've seen a few pros recommend is to try and force the loop of your swing to go the other way

    Honestly, the swing looks good, a bit quick though. Did you hit that shot fat? The club postion throughout the swing looked pretty good though.

    What club was it and how far did it go?

    A face on Video would probably reveal more about your impact position. I would recommend posting one of those

    I agree with ZeeDustin. Practice taking the club back to where the club is parallel to the ground. At this point, the shaft should be parallel with the target line. You will be on plane at this point, but I can assure you it is going to feel like your taking it way "outside." I try to get my student to imagine your playing baseball and on your backswing you are trying to put the clubhead into the catchers mitt, it will make you take it back on plane and usually also helps to get "width" in your swing. Without seeing it I can guess with about 95% certainty that your grip is also "weak"

    well said.
    Like others have said also, little quick for my liking.

    Should we have a thread where we all post our swings and critique?

    Yup . . . it's almost a reverse "Furyk", but further inside . . .
