help needed!

Hello all!

I'm new to this website and was wanting to know if someone can help me fix my swing. I play off about 12 but want to get the handicap down somehow!

My main problem as I see it now is that I seem to take the club too far on the inside on the takeaway and tend come down with a cut across the ball or a pull hook. I'm wondering if anyone has a key swing thought on the takeaway and also if you consciously break the wrists at a certain time? Do we think that lifting the right heel (I play left-handed) is a good idea to get a better turn going or should a focus on hip and shoulder turn be sufficient?

where is the video

Well if you think of a tilted circle, and you concentrate when striking the ball of bringing it round then you should hit it straight. Hope you understand what I mean.

not really mike, could you smoke another one and elaborate some more?

Go to www.pga.com then click on improve my game, then choose the video 'driven to perfection' then a box should open asking what speed and player do you want the video to run. Below that there is another video 'swing plane' (Guy with red shirt).

you might benefit from the PLANE STICK. you can get them for about 1/2 retail from ebay. check out their web site - google Plane Stick

Hello Steven,

I can suggest a few things:

- Video your swing especially with the longer clubs which I assume you are having issues with, at least this way you can pinpoint where you are going wrong.

- Take you club back slowly, make sure your shoulder does not dip

- Try adjusting your grip

- If all else fails, get a lesson; you probably have too many bad habits.

- Also work on your short game you might be able to bring you handi-cap down by a few.

Good Luck

stuey,
all the things that thing does can be achieved using a club shaft and headcover. But the video that it comes with is probably the most important part of the whole deal so you can see what to do.
