Is there a name for my swing faults??

[DBC]

Trying to identify my fault.

Im looking for any help at all on what I may be doing wrong ( or right).
If I had to guess, it looks as if Im not in the right position at the top of my swing, but Im just guessing on that.
please help me :

Driver Face On


Driver Down Line

Sorry the angles arent perfect.

You are coming over the top. everything you do supports an over the top stroke. That includes your address, takeaway, late part of back swing and transition'

Ok that sounds like doomsday for me.

What needs to be addressed first, and what drill do you suggest?

Thanks.

yep you need serious help.........
every shot is definitely doomed at the moment.
take a hot cleansing shower, wash off all golf thoughts/ideas you have and start with a new blank mind.
real bad reverse pivot = DOOM.....!!!!!
get a proper set up, look at pics and use a mirror.
hit 500 balls just using your right arm/hand on the club, this will teach you to rotate your right side properly and show you what your right arm has to do to hit the ball well and show you where the shaft should be.
start there........................... there will be more .............there always is................

There are many ways to attack this.

One is to dig it out of the dirt yourself.

Minimum requirement would be understanding how club head path and club face angle influences the trajectory.

You basically want to produce a straight down the line divot and trap the ball with a club face that is slightly closed to the swing path. And you want to do this in a way that enables you to really step on the gas through impact. Swing path control and club face control.

Hanging around on gwrx and reading some of the threads here will get you up to speed on some of the basic do's and don'ts, and improve your understanding of golf stroke fundamentals. You should be able to find a couple of pointers, things to try and check points there.

Another approach is to find a good swing coach, take a series of lessons.

In any case you may have to work hard to replace the weak OTT with a powerful draw, because some of the things you need to do possibly goes against your current instincts. But if you like to work on your game it is more than worth it.
