Haven't video'd my swing in quite a long time, so it was pretty interesting to see what I'm doing these days. Would really like to hear some of your thoughts on what I'm doing wrong and what I'm doing right!

I'm quite obviously getting very steep in my downswing, which I never realised I did. Probably explains why I've gone from hitting draws to baby fades and the occasional pull.

I'm also really surprised to see my right foot raise so early in my downswing, never thought I did that and I'm not sure whether it's actually detrimental. I've got quite active legs in my down swing, they get moving really early and probably slide too much unfortunately.

I'm working on a better turn in my back swing, rotating my shoulders a bit more; which should mean I get better rotation into impact, flatten out my swing plane and sort out that little fade.

I'm pretty consistent with my driver, hit the ball about 290-300yds and definitely hit more fairways than I miss, but it would be nice to make some improvements.



Keep in mind, this is the first time I've hit this driver since my fitting and it was quite a change from an old 290cc Mizuno T-Zoid T3 to my new i20, looks like I'm swinging a watermelon on a toothpick!

as flexible as you are there's not much excuse for your left arm breaking down at the top.  You also seem to have your low hand thumb on the back of the club.   I always thoought you get more power and control if you actually hold the club in your hand using the thumb as well as the fingers.

Lots of solid stuff going on there, I'd say tighten and square things up in general, it looks a little loose at the top.
