Re: More video,angles,my swing??

Having studied this video ,i seem to have a slight movement towards the ball on the backswing although at the top of the swing i am bang on plane,neutral clubface,elbows level.Then as i transfer my weight i seem to move even futher towards the ball which means that i have to lift my spine to hit the ball and get stuck behind myself which means i have to come across the ball and lose my spine angle.

Do you agree?

Firstly, I would check out the video Redgoat posted on the freegolfinfo.com boards. I'm not sure if I'm entitled to post to that board and or to the video, so you can just find it as a recent topic he posted on the General Instruction forum.

As for what I see, you're coming down steep\over-the-top which is causing your body to contort (spine angle straightening) a bit to prevent yanking it left. That seems to be the root of your problem...the cause is that your position at the very top makes it difficult for you to come down on plane without manually and consciously rerouting the club. You're left shoulder dips forward and brings the club at the top across the line a bit. The reason for that, I believe, is that your weight is still set too far on your heels at address.

So yeah, check out the video. It'll be right up your alley.

hi slicers,
definetly agree that my downswing is over the top and too steep,top of the backswing i thought looked quite good...there is definetly a slight move towards the ball on the backswing.There's quite alot of thought on where your weight should be at address and it's definetly not on my heels more centrally placed.I'll check out those vids,cheers mate.

Re: More video,angles,my swing??

hey slicers,
Just thinking about sorting the over the top swing.When you say that it's impossible to come down on plane with my current top of the backswing position is that because of the dipping/swaying on the backswing?

Re: More video,angles,my swing??

Ryan you are a classic 2 plane golf swing. watch your video backswing in slow motion. your takeaway is good and once you go to the top you plane changes.

The problem is your backswing is 2 plane and your down swing is that of a 1 plane swing. So on backswing you go to the higher plane (2 plane) but on your downswing you stay on that plane and thats why you have an outside in swing path. I am sure you hit a few pull shots.

Look at you video and see that on your downswing your hips and club start at the same time. A good transition will have your hips unrotating while your club is still going back. This will get you back to the lower swing plane.
