Re: My 8 iron swing video. Comments needed!

Lot of good things in your swing.You start the downswing with a quick turn and bump of the hip and your shoulder and hands basically follow the path of your short hip turn and I love the short and connected backswing..

OK the bad part about your swing is that one thing you can't do is what you basically did on that last swing and that is turning your hip outside in across the taget line..The shoulder and hands follows the outside in path and your clubface never square and you shank because you aren't handsy like lots of folks are and try to rescue shots,which normally would be a good thing.

I wouldn't change too much..I make sure your hip has the same inside out to in turn action as the first 2 and everything is all right...and I stay back a bit more.If you stay back that shank should just become a slice.But with your swing if you just get the right hip turn,everything will be fine.

Btw,there might be some folks that tell you to turn your shoulder and hip more and all that.Don't believe them..You swing with your hip and you have that lag..that is easy power and a very sound and simple swing.I can do all the other stuff and extra turn like your SUPPOSE TO DO,but it only gets me 15 more yards than having a real short backswing like yours and it should be much more consistent..Don't over-analys,you have a good and simple swing with a very simple fix imo.
