Tell me what you think

I'm not a professional or club pro, but it feels like you are on top a little to short time. Stay on the top for 2 sec more maybe and then turn over!

Worth a try, right?

[size="3"]Your hips open up pretty quick and your backswing ends pretty abruptly. But, it looks like you made great contact and it works for you so I wouldn't change too much. If it feels solid, then don't change anything. Good follow through.

BTW, is that inside of your place?[/size]

[jsgolfer12]

no, that is at a local PGA Superstore. I did make really good contact on that one. I am always searching for something though, i cant leave well enough alone.

not sure what you mean. i think you are talking about a pause on the backswing

I would actually recommend not to pause - if there was anything that hinted at a transition, it might be ok, but personally, I lost too much energy in my swing when I tried to pause. My best advice is to feel like the clubhead is a little open at address and on the backswing, and accelerate aggressively on the downswing. It worked for Jack Nicklaus, it might help you.
Also, try to flatten your swing a touch, especially in the backswing. It might give you a slightly more penetrating flight and you might be able to hit a greater variety of shots.

do you always take that long to hit a shot?

it was 20 frames per second and my buddy was fiddling with the camera, so no, i do not always take that long to hit a shot! lol

i agree 100% and i have been working on feeling like i make a more round backswing. i have found that the key is to try to take the club back with my right hand alone and then once it gets about half way down to try and hit it really hard with my right hand again. my whole life i have tried to have a passive right hand and im starting to think it has been a mistake.

Actually, it was 200 frames per second, which is why you see the florescent lights flickering!

hope this helps

[jsgolfer12]

Thanks! I have always played with a closed clubface and used my hips to square up the club. It is something i have actually been working on changing. With a more neutral clubface i think ill be able to hit more shots

[colewis]

I agree with the closed clubface. I thought about that as it seemed that your shot started out drawing left. Could just be a mind trick. lol Good Luck with the swing
