Badds,
I would instruct you to work on a few things to get your swing more solid. You are obviously very flexible, your hip barely more on the backswing. The only problem with that is it makes the through swing a challenge. You have a strong left arm pull and a flip turn on the bottom at impact. The swinger’s I teach, I absolutely insist they keep their front foot on the ground through impact. You are almost completely on your toes and you lose your foundation. Here are the conditions you should work on:
1. On the takeaway, you are swaying onto the back foot not turning into the right side. This one move is causing the rest to follow.
2. The position at the top, the arms, the arm to elbow triangle, and folded left arm all look good.
3. On the transition you are diving into the left side because of the sway on the takeaway.
4. The drive into the left is causing the knees to bend excessively. Every action has a equal and opposite reaction, the reaction is the lifting onto the toes to avoid smashing the club head into the ground. The release is a twist at the bottom and steep finish.
You are loosing power that could easily put you in the 290-310 range. Things to work on:
1. Have the bigman grab your head and you turn into the right side. Losing the sway is your #1 priority.
2. Get on the forum and do a search on rope drill. I wrote two of them one for a 4 foot rope and one for an eight foot rope. Use the eight foot rope drill. This will get your hips working properly so you can release that cannon down the line on a more boring trajectory.
3. These changes will save your back and wrists and cause the release to be in front of your left leg vice in back of it where it is presently. You will notice a big difference.
Hope this help you, please post progress and questions,
GolfBald

Rebuild....
Your set-up is poor and what was that rubbish you were doing before you hit the shot ????
While your energy is somewhat enthusiastic it is also just that - energy - doing nothing....

Fine - Here you go
http://corporatedump.com/photo/uploa...titled_1_1.GIF
Basically your swing is just a kid taking a swipe at a ball and you have no understanding other than maybe tips from a book or two or a magazine.... Im saying you aren't going to progress like you want without rebuilding.... If you don't want an opinion then don't ask for it....
Im not going to attempt to quick fix your swing like golfbald because thats exactly what you don't need (hence need not want) to hear. If you want an analysis of his analysis because he is just clueless. Ive read about 5 of his posts and they make me go yuck.
And your swing is very far off hitting 290-310 - because your swing will not be able to strike the ball well enough and even if you do manage to make a good contact you will not have the clubface control or effiency it takes to hit the ball along ways. Your swing is ****py and im telling you like it is.... if you want someone just to tell you ...hey dude thats great... and go on feeling happy about your day... but if you want to play golf well then take my advice....
