Re: My Swing

Work on taking the club way using you legs and shoulder, not the hands. You're coming way too far to the inside on the take away, and opening the blade way to much. You want to try and keep the club on plan in the take away. The rest of your swing looks pretty solid.

Re: My Swing

Get rid of that wrist movement to start. Wrist should not break like that. Concentrate on bringing your shoulders chin to chin (left shoulder to chin, right to chin on follow thru) and keeping left arm straight as you start back. Stance looks pretty good and hip turn and follow thru look very good. I like the big C on the follow thru. You do a good job of keeping your feet planted and head over the ball as well.

Also trying keeping the club at parallel at the top. You seem to be going a bit far which will hurt consistency.

My guess is that swing would have a tough time being consistently straight and you have no problems getting the ball in the air.

To work on that wrist movement I would hit a bunch of half shots with no wrist breaking and a full follow thru.

Good luck.

Re: My Swing

I know the takeaway is wrong, but i am not initiating it with my wrist. I am turning my wrist early to get it flat at the top. something i have to work on, but i do start my backswing with my left arm.

Re: My Swing

What can I say. It is a really unorthodox swing. How is it working for you? That is the important thing. In looking at different stages of your backswing you get your self in a position at the top that will require a lot of adjustments coming back down to get the club back square. However if you are doing so on a consistent basis maybe you don't need any comment as you suggested. Good luck.

Re: My Swing

As long as it works for you who cares what any of us think. This is why i wouldnt post a video of my swing,just as you think everything is ok,someone will point out a flaw and i would obsess about it and suffer the consequences.

Re: My Swing

im really not taking any of the advice to mind. Not that I dont respect it, but I have someone else teaching me and I don't want to get a bunch of swing thoughts going through my head at once. I just posted it to see what people thought, and to personally analyze it on swing academy.

Re: My Swing

I agree with the people suggesting that you keep your wrist from moving so much. It gives you more swing control. But if it's working for you, then I guess just keep at it!

Yeah, I'm with you. It looks good to me. I can't see how the takeaway will hurt you, you seem to get to the correct position at the top.

Re: My Swing

I am posting just to say that I really enjoyed watching your swing. That is a pretty good, and original looking move.

Besides the takeaway, it seems your club shaft is pointing way to the right of the target line at the top. But if it works for you, whatever. If you are getting professional instruction and are hitting the ball well keep right on.

Re: My Swing

Hummmm .......

Jim Furyk's swing is very, very, very different.

I'd say the best thing you could do is find a teaching pro and have that guy/gal work with you.

Re: My Swing

I don't understand why you would put your video online.. then post links to it.. then say that you don't want people's input.

Sorta like the girl in the mini-skirt who acts offended when I whistle.. and stare.. and drool.

Re: My Swing

sorry if i offended you, just sharing.

The reason I don't want advice on here is because I don't want strange swing thoughts circulating in my head. I know that I enjoy watching other people's swings, but I don't neccesarily offer advice. All I meant to do was to share my swing
