any input welcome...

i got a question..do you fade the ball?..anyways..as for the finish..looks good..weight balanced..nice posture..umm..at address..the reason i asked did you fade it..you got that freddy fade look in your wrists...Only thing i see in your grip is the v in your right hand is pointing to the middle of your chest..needs to be more toward the right shoulder..cant really tell but looks like you have a strong grip..wich isnt bad if it works..if it aint broke..dont fix it..Top looks good to me..reminds me of me(3/4 swing)..except maybe ur left arm is breaking down just a tad..but not getting that FULL shoulder turn and using the more if a 3/4 swing can help in alot of ways..alot of people..even pros..are tyring to shorten their swings..but anyways..keep it up..always remember..it can only get better

Thanks Geraldine_Golfer

I do fade it and yes i do try to make a shorter swing with my wedges. i'm workin on my grip now, but its workin well so far.

reverse pivot going on, think rotate not shift, and un cock those wrists at the top. other than that. you are on the right path.

Yup definite reverse pivot. I've had the same problem before. At the top of your swing your shoulders form a line over the inside of your left foot. That's classic reverse pivot. In proper backswing, shoulders should be over the inside of right foot.

Think shift and rotate, not just rotate. If you just rotate without shifting your weight, you keep the weight on your left leg and hence reverse pivot.

Edit: reverse pivot means your weight stays on your left leg throughout your swing. Usually characterized by shoulders lining up with inside of left foot and right leg straightening out on backswing. Proper swing involves weight transfer to right leg on backswing and left leg on foreswing. Think of swinging a tennis raquet or throwing a baseball. You don't just rotate and swing/throw. You load up on back leg as you wind up first then you shift onto your front leg and release. Golf swing is the same thing.

Im not a swing coach but your grip looks a little loose at the top.


Just my $0.02

These are my suggestions:

At address:
Spead your knees a little more
both hands should be more tight and closed together as one unit

top:
as someone said, reverse pivot. Your center shifts in front of the ball, right knee should bend a little more.
Dont hold your head in one place, it should be behind the ball a little
I think I'm seeing too much right arm. Was your right elbow flying out and not tuck in?

finish:
Your spine and your head look too vertical, they should be at the angle same as your address.
Front knee should keep bent.
This is my personal experience. I used to be just like you having my body, head, knee straighten out at finish. The result was having alot of thin shots because of tendency of lifting up everything, including the club.
Now I always keep my head level (allow minor degree of sideshift, NO up/down shift whatsoever), both knees flex in same degree as address.
For my finish, I always tilt my head in the same degree as address (look at Paula Creamer), so both eyes tilt as well as they look where the ball goes.


The place you took those pictures look awefully tight, did you have space to swing at all? IF you were just doing the swing in slow motion your information wont be too acute at all. Many people think if they can do it in slow motion then they can do the exact same thing on a real shot is wrong. Have someone take pictures for you in driving range would be great.

I am pretty sure that a slightly wider stance, and a bit more spine tilt (see picture) will help your swing.

Great advice-- you look fairly solid. Get your weight 80% on your right foot at address by tiliting as Straightshooter's pix indicates and do some research on how to grip the club. Your hands seem off. If you are able to load your right side up with this tilt you might be amazed at the height of trajectory you may get. Finish on left, straight leg-- belt buckle toward target.

You are brave to post swing-- and smart.

Strong grip and a fade, gotta love it.

Your swing looks fine. Maybe tilt your spine back a bit, but not much. You do have a bit of a reverse pivot, but that's not always terrible.

I would take the suggestions you get from people at face value, by the way, as we can't see your swing in motion.

Looking at the pictures again, I noticed large amount of distortion in the images! Look at the various doorposts, floorlines etc.. This distortion is almost certainly also present in the image of the golfer's body, and may have caused some misperceptions! For example, is there really a reverse pivot, or did the camera cause most of it?

After practice which we all should do, that is effective practice, we should go out on the course and plan where we want to hit the ball, and hit the drivers on the slight up swing and hit everything on the turf on the down swing, and hit the ball first....then I will try to make all more birdies this year....

notop..why did u quote me?...im confused..but thanks if it was good :p..rofl

Look at your right hand at the top of your swing...it's almost off the club. This causes all sorts of trouble and inconsistencies. You can eliminate this flaw by gripping the club in the fingers and not across the right palm. Then maintain the pressure of the right lifeline against the left thumb at the top.
