Re: Video - Comments on my swing please!

my impression is that you are casting as your first move and quickly lose the angle formed by your wrists at the top of the back swing, so when you get to the impact position your left wirst is bent at impact and should be straight. an impact bag may help. see if others concur.

I think I see what you mean, although it's a bit hard to tell for sure from my video. I think my wrist certainly bends soon after impact and the club overtakes my hands. I have tried holding my wrists in more of a fixed position, although I can't help but loose power when I do this?!

Re: Video - Comments on my swing please!

Wow, just bought the V1 home program and have already spotted a few things I can improve

Just looking at my backswing, I think I'm cocking my wrists a bit too late and also swinging my arms back too far...

Can anyone recommend a good source of videos for me to compare to? I'm fairly tall - 6' 2"...

Re: Video - Comments on my swing please!

Not a bad swing. Good coordination and body turn at impact. Casting isn't a big problem here, delay in release will come natural with this: work on lower body movement. You're hardly shifting weight in backswing, and therefore unable to start downswing with lower body move.

A second point might be to flatten your swing plane somewhat, but hard to tell with a front view.

Re: Video - Comments on my swing please!

Thanks for replying! Actually, my time using the V1 program has made me realise those exact things.

I took a down-the-line video, when compared to the pros, very much looked like I was too upright in my address, and swinging very upright. So when playing a round the other day with bending from my waist more and swinging much flatter, and it made quite a big difference and I played much more consistently. I've always had trouble with either topping the ball or hitting it fat, and this seemed to help a lot.

I'm working on the weight shift and the start of the downswing at the moment...

I've read different things about the weight shift in the backswing - some people say you must shift the weight to the back foot, other people say you should keep your weight centered - I've been experimenting with both.

In one of the other posts, someone mentioned starting the downswing by kicking your back knee in - this does seem to work well when I've tried it.

I'll maybe do another video soon!
