Help cure my push!

[berryoz99]

Hi all

I have posted a couple of views of my swing..I tend to push the ball especially when using my driver. I wondered if there is anything obvious that would account for my tendency to push the ball ? I noticed in the front video that my wrists are not really turning over in time..however when I make a conscious effort to role them I tend to hit a big hook. Also my grip (right hand) looks a bit odd...any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

It's not easy to see in the video as the quality is not so good. It seems as if you are a little too fast with your hip and shoulder rotation, this is leaving your arms behind and probably producing the push.

As you come into the impact zone work on keeping your arms in the centre of your chest, the same as they were in the take away.

Yeah, try a slower backswing...

Thanks guys!! I will head to the range to try out your ideas.

One more thing..my right elbow seems like it points outwards at the top of my back swing..could this influence the push ? I have tried to keep the elbow tucked in and pointing down but find it nearly impossible.

thanks!

Re: Help cure my push!

Looks to me as if you have very good natural rhythm and timing.

Just a couple of small points; seems to me as if you're lifting the arms a little bit too much on the backswing - try sweeping away for the first part of the backwing for a better position at the top. It also seems as if you're a little unbalanced at the finish, almost recoiling back. Try holding your finishing a bit longer.

These are only minor points - basically, you're in pretty good shape.
