...or I come up out of the shot and hit it thin.

 

I am no golf pro but I am wondering if the cause of coming up and hitting the ball thin may be looking up too quick. In some of the face on swings it looks like your head might not be staying down through impact.

 

One of the pros on here might correct me on this though.

I would like to see you use your shoulders as your power source on your takeaway. It looks like you may be using your hands a bit to much and pulling off the ball as well as pulling the club down.

 

Your Right wrist appears to be a bit cupped at the top and that is what aids in getting across the line at the top. For me that made me miss both ways and with the club so shut i could really hit a snapper at the bottom.

 

I like to try and think of letting the rotation back through the ball be my guide rather than hitting with my hands. They kinda fall into place. Your tempo looks pretty good though and i would love to be smooth like that thought he ball :)

 

Cheers

Scott

Just giving my thoughts on another fellow's slight...perceived slight anyway. I could've given similar comments or advice on the original poster's swing, but it's really hard to tell when there's no ball to strike. Yes at first glance, his hands are cupped at the top, takeaway's a bit armsy handsy, looks as though he's flipping through impact, and has a relatively high follow-through as compared to his flatter backswing. It's all the making of a hook.

 

ANother point: it's different when you just swing without a ball, it's different when you strike balls at a range, and it's different when you actually play shots at a course.

 

I don't comment in detail because the golf swing changes during pressure (swinging without a ball, range practice, and golf course shots) My question about his misses and the comment about his swing looking stuck is as well and good in my opinion. Maybe he didn't notice that he was stuck and I commented to point that out.

 

I can also say that even though he is swinging with his driver, his iron swing may be similar in that he flips thru impact. Flipping and trapping are different feelings in my opinion. If Braham were to ask MikPGA what his thoughts were, he would ask questions first rather than comment...such as I.

 

There's just too many variables in the golf swing to determine what's really right or wrong. What I had asked and said, are very legitimate statements, given the information given to us.

 

Other than that, his swing looks good. Very smooth and very simple. And really, you need to put that dog in the house! :)

I am going to try to hit the range this evening with my camera provided it doesn't rain. I will post hopefully those shots tomorrow. I think I am flipping at impact and have had a tendency to do that in the past. I also tend to hit the ball high which my follow thru would indicate. I have had a problem in the past of swaying my head back at the start of my swing. I could use some drills to help me stop flipping at impact. For the most part, given limited info, I think most of the comments have been right on. Maybe somebody can offer some suggestions of specific drills to help with some of my faults.

 

Let's look at the new video tomorrow.

 

Thanks all.

Awesome! Can't wait to see Brahma. We're all here to help and give constructive criticism.

 

By the way, do you practice yoga?
