Please roast my swing.

Since I asked for a roast, is that sarcasm? 

 

This isn't Reddit, buddy 🤓

 

Although, based on the responses, these seem a lot more helpful than any observations made on r/golf.

Hard to roast a swing that playable but here goes anyway...

 

People are going to think you have a foot fetish if you keep toe f@&kin’ balls like that!!!

Nope. I don't rely on rhythm or tempo.  The block is my miss, but it's rare. I pretty much turn my body and let it rip. 

Biggest thing I see is the late arm lift. But your rhythm is really good which helps reduce a lot of fault impact.

I'd be curious to see a face-on given this:

 

 

There are some other things I see (you toed that one a bit, too), but… overall, pretty good.

 

This is the other big thing.  Good catch too.  Pressure is staying in the heel late.  Also looks like getting to the outside of the foot a bit.  Would be more difficult to increase pressure and get to lead side as strongly with that trail foot doing that.

What's the remedy for late arm lift?

For me...the thought 

 

Arms go up and the body turns. Jim Waldron arm swing illusion works well too. Arms feel like they go away from the body at a 45 degree angle from address position....while the body turns. 

 

Omar uresti takeaway helps with the feel too. From address, raise the Arms straight up (stay in posture) to about waist/belly high then just make a swing from there.

 

You will feel like you're swinging WAY outside.

So, that gets the club less across the line?

Combine that move with a little less arm overrun and yeah, you'll be a lot less across the line. That late arm.lift causes the arms to have to keep going well past the point where the shoulders stop turning. Face on view would show it better. Up more, stop the arms when the left shoulder reaches your chin. See how it affects the downswing move...

I use that one myself.

I appreciate it.

@getitdaily @iacas @Zitlow Here's a face on. Sorry about the quality. See anything that stands out that I can work on?

Your angle of attack looks perfect!

 

 

For a 7-iron. 

 

 

[Zitlow]

If you tried to make your swing conform to the static address plane you'd come over the top. 

 

I got to play golf with Mike Dunaway, he swung on a dynamic plane not a fixed plane. 

 

 

He swung a little more around than you and he unweighted his right heel as he started down. He didn't hit any blocks because his left forearm was relaxed.

Yeah...along with arm lift, earlier wrist set is needed. You are really wide on the backswing but it's pulling your weight too much over your trail leg where it stays for way too long. 

 

Face on confirms a ton of arm overrun. Your shoulders stop really close to p3 but your arms just keep going. 

 

What are you trying to achieve?

I'm trying to achieve greatness so I can join the over 60 circuit in 9 years. 😂 Honestly, just want to improve and make the blocks a thing of the past.

Our transitions are similar.

Start off with arms up more and earlier wrist set. Get ball position up more too. It's too far back.

That was from late spring of last year. Moved it up after I saw the video.

Your swing is similar to Dunaway's, his ball position is farther forward and he's on autopilot from P5 to the finish.

Thank you all for the roasts and swing advice. Here’s your participation trophy.

I bet your downswing couldn't hold a job at McDonald's for more than a week because all it does is get laid off.

Honestly though, the club gets a little too across the line at the top, causing it to lay off too late in the downswing.  I think you need a little stronger grip then keep the wrists rolled open a little more in the backswing so the club planes better.  Here is a video from Mike Malaska to explain the first part:

I hate to be the one to tell you this but Jack had a flying right elbow. Lucky for you there's a Stop the Flying Right Elbow - Wow! video that will help.

I tried that, but get involuntary arm pit farts doing it.

Why roast? Everything is black already.

Actually, I like this. Rolling the feet.  

Vertically you load well into the heel and you create torsional forces over the ball of the foot.

There was a man long time ago in the B&W era who tested with an extra spike under his shoe. Forgot his name.

Been working on earlier wrist set and pressure shift. Better?
