My swing front on

Putfile - My swing front on

Comments and suggestions much appreciated .

Hey Mike. There are a ton of people on here way more qualified then me to critique someones swing but here is my two cents.

Set up looks great.

Back swing looks too inside and too short. Its surprizing how your backswing looks considering how great everything else looks.It just looks out of place in that swing.
Everything else looks really good. Your finish looks real good.

I wouldnt tinker around too much with your swing if your hitting the ball good.

Yeah my back swing does look quite restricted there. I was pulling quite a few shots today which was why I was taking a reduced back swing to try and get things back on track. Although I do tend to come up short on the back swing normally. I need to change that really. I think I might be pulling my shots because i'm coming in to out and like you mentioned my back swing might have been too much on the inside. I'm working a lot on my take away and trying to get it on plane ect. Backswing is still under construction. Thanks for the input.

There are actual golf instructors on here that might have some better input then me. Im just a hacker.............Good luck bro.

Hi Mike,

It looks to me that rather than the length of your backswing you need to look at your wrist hinge, lag and release. You take the club back with little wrist hinge then cast the club back down from the top, this is robbing your shot of power.

I think if I did take the club back fully hinging my wrists it would help with the tempo and timing. I seem to be making solid contact with most of my shot suggesting that I dont release too early although I must admit it does look a bit of a chopping motion. I try to pull the hands down and get that left hip moving up and left when I start the down swing. Do you have any drills I could try or things that could help me achieve some more lag ect? I would appreciate that.

I'm seriously considering getting a video lesson with my pro to see what I look like at impact and to see what he thinks...

Mike, you strike the ball upward. Don't do that, please. The ground is in the way. You strike the ground first, the ball second. You strike the ball less precisely. Transmit less power. Launch the ball higher. Spin the ball less. Send the ball shorter and less accurately.

Instead, strike the ball downward. You strike the ball first, the ground second. As a result, you strike the ball more precisely. Transmit more power. Launch the ball lower. Spin the ball more. Send the ball farther and more accurately.
