My iron swing (video)

[supa]

This video shows my 7-iron swing. The ball went about 110 yards.
Please give me some advice, thanks!

The faults that I can see are:

- You look a bit cramped up. You look quite tall so that might be why. Try standing a little further from the ball.
- Your back is a little hunched and your knees are too straight . Try to keep your spine straight and your knees a bit more bend.
- Your head is looking to far down. Lift your chin up a bit. Again, this will probably be corrected a a little by keeping your back straight.

Cant see your grip but everything else looks ok to me. Nice turn of the shoulders and good rhythm. You probably hit it quite consistently right?

Thanks for the advice!
I hit it about 50% that day, but that was after not playing/practicing for 2~3months. I'll try taking a video from the front next time.
For the grip, should I just take a picture instead of video?

As far as the posture goes, try bringing your shoulder blades together at address. This will help your posture.

Glad its working out well (although maybe perhaps from the 2-3 months layoff).

Take a front on video would be a good view to see how your grip works in the swing.
