my swing...

[Mike420]

I can't upload my file onto the site so I thought I'd post a link. I apologise for the poor quality and the fact it's not upright. However I'd appreciate any comments. I intend to get a high quality video up soonish.

H Mike,

Not a good video to study but one thing I can see is that you have no wrist hinge or lag in your swing. This must be losing you distance.

Re: my swing...

Hey thanks for the comment. When you say I have no wrist hinge, i'm not quite sure I understand. Surely my wrists are hinged at the top? As for the lag, I find it very elusive .

As for distance i've never really had any problems. The second swing in that video I thought I caught pretty sweet, well at least it felt so and I was using blades.

Re: my swing...

As I said it is a poor quality video and on it's side. Your club looks to be very laid off at the top and as you come down you have cast the club outwards. You should be holding the wrist hinge right through the swing so that your hands always lead the clubface.

Re: my swing...

I have been working on keeping my weight on my left side to encourage me to hit down on the ball. At the top I've been trying to throw my arms as if I were throwing a stone like what Shawn Clement says. I have tried to be conscious of not casting my club, but doesn't seem to be working. I'll hit the range tomorrow and try to hold that wrist hinge throught the swing. Thanks for the input and I apologise again for the poor vid quality.
