Please help with swing

jwalkerus · February 21, 2012

Good Evening gents. Could you please take a look at my swing. hit an 8 iron usually from 150 and hit my drive anywhere from 230 -250, maybe more if i catch it right. I'm about an 18-20 handicap mostly because my off the tee game is just plain gross. usually low left hooks or super high blocks. i usually lose 3-4 balls off the tee in water or hazards per round. only thing that saves me is my short game and putting. i have had one quick 10 minute lesson and the teacher told me i have an "in to out" swing which produces the hooks. anything thing that you guys could tell me i would greatly appreciate. any drills or whatever. I'm almost to the point where its not fun anymore to go play a round of golf. not fun when your usually hitting 3 from the tee or dropping a ball for a 2 stroke penalty cause u just hit it in to the water. please help

[color=#181818][size=2]i usually do get it too parralel and sometimes past.that was just one swing. i was just being modest about my distance. i didnt want to be one of those dudes that say, i hit the ball 400 yards normally. my normal drives are anywhere form 250-280 and occasional 300 if i flush it.

I don't have anything to slow down that video but @ 6 sec mark your shaft is pointed outside the plane or to the right of the ball looking from behind. Your clubhead looks shut at the top, don't know if its just a blur or not. Just off of those two things I would guess your take away is hands first yanking the club back inside disconnected then getting the clubhead shut. If that's the case you should work on that first foot and a half takeaway getting everything moving together with less hands. Then point that shaft more at the ball or target line at the halfway back position. Of course this is without seeing a face on view where you see grip, setup, ball position etc. I'd bet seeing that face on view would take some guessing out of what I posted :good: you should post that as well.
