Is there a problem??? :drinks:

First, I would lose the thongs and wear footwear that is similar to what you play in (i.e. spikes) or has sufficient grip.

 

Second, the camera angle isn't the best, so it is hard to provide accurate feedback. However, it looks to me as if your take-away is well to the inside, and you appear to have a bit of an overswing (i.e. John Daly style).

 

Third, your posture could be improved by straightening your spine and bending from the waist more.

 

I really don't know what you want us to comment on. Are you experiencing any consistancy issues? Do you want a better practice routine?

First, I'd say you have a very good rhythm and get through the ball well. I'd say you've played a lot and have a handicap of 13 or less?

 

Technically, just by studying my own swing for the past couple of months, and I definitely am not a teacher, (see my help post), your take away goes inside the plane, your backswing is very long and the plane is very upright. Despite that, you return to the ball nicely and have a good tempo. Beyond that, I'll defer to the experts.....

Thanks for the feedback so far! People I play with say that I play like John, I just get up to the ball & hit it, not thinking about anything other than the shot at hand.

 

I'll work on taking it more straight back than inside, keeping my left arm straight makes a nice little fade-tail on my shot as well.

 

Sorry about the camera angle, I didn't plan on taping my swing or even going to the range that day.

Recently I've been a little more inconsistant, I think its because I don't exactly have a perfect setup to the ball. It's kind of like, just get up there & rip it or chip it up close. Without a good/consistant setup, I honestly don't know if I can play consistant golf.

 

I'm around a 10. I can play a few shots under or 20 over at times, so it depends on how I'm feeling my putts and who I'm playing with. I tend to play better when I play with better players. (None of my friends really take it seriously, well the drinking they do, but the golf they dont)

I noticed something, but I'm not an expert here, far from it. Looks like you're crowding the ball a little. Push the ball out an inch or inch and a half and see what happens.
