Need some guidance

[holberg19]

Hi Golfers

I need a little guidance in terms of my golf swing. Some of the errors in my swing I can see myself, but I'd like to hear ur comments too.

Cheers!

A few quick thoughts on your address...

From down the line, it looks almost like your hands are pulled inside your shoulder line (might be camera angle)

You'll find it easier to get back to impact if you setup with the hands in a higher position, with a level right wrist, and your right forearm much more relaxed and closer to the angle of the shaft. you should be able to see a bit of the left forearm at address from the down the line view.

From face on, turn your left foot out about 15 degrees. You have a very square foot position and that restricts how well you can use your pivot, and how much lag pressure you can create. That might seem like a small detail, but it really will let you use your hips for power, using the pivot to drag the arms and really loading PP#4.

Hi EdZ

First of all - thanks for your time and effort analyzing my swing.

I dont think its the camera angle.

Something like this?

Ill definately try this next time. Easy to apply and try.

Beautiful countryside. Sweden? Level left wrist is awkward at first but stick with it.

Not there yet.

Close. Denmark (neighbour country south of Sweden)

This is russian to me. Could you elaborate on this?

First thing that stands out is the position of your right hand. The alignment of the the grip is reaking havok with the clubface.
Can't see the left hand very well but would have to assume that it would also need a little adjustment. Second would be to get into a more balanced address and with not so much forward lean. A balanced set-up would allow a little wiggle of the toes to ensure the weight is back more under the ankles and heels.

The left wrist cocks and uncocks in a vertical to the ground motion when you hold your left arm out in front of your body. The left wrist moves from Fully cocked to Level to Fully Uncocked.

Per 4-B-1 Level. The Wrist is Level when the wrist-bone and the edge of the hand (to the first knuckle of the first finger) form a straight line. Bold by me.

This and the Right Forearm Flying Wedge are key alignments necessary at Impact and can be seen in the swings of most pros. Homer wanted us to establish these alignments at Address, not so common on tour these days, but the road to consistency he believed. I can personally attest to it working wonders.

You can hit the search button on this site and type in key words for tons of information.

You're in good hands with BBax by the way. He's a pro himself.

PS here is a nice example of a level left wrist at Address (although its hard to see) and a Right Forearm Flying Wedge alignment. I believe it was this fellow here, Brian Gay who basically credited his recent success (3 million plus dollars worth of success this year) to a switch to the level left wrist at Address.

So what ur saying is that my grip is probably strong - and too strong. Should be leaned more towards neutral?

Thanks. The picture was "gold" in terms of me understanding this.
