Decent. I like your hip action, but I bet you occasionally spin out when your weight gets to quickly to your left heel. Am I right?

Still a little bit flat at 9 o'clock, mate, but I'm nit picking cos I know you play off 1 or there abouts. 

Show/hide user stats

erm i do spin out of it the occasional once or twice,

would you say that the 9 o'clock is a little better iv been trying hard to get it perfect, i know its not good at the moment but would you say its better?

Show/hide user stats
Yes, mate, it's way better. How have you corrected it? I'm working on mine by starting my backswing by pushing my right shoulder straight back. It's stopping my hands getting too active.

yer iv been shooting some low scores again thank god iv being correcting it for the last 8 days solid.

yer put a new video of your golf swing on mate i'll take a look at it, i saw the last one on there it didnt look to bad to be honest just some of the basic parts need to be corrected

best thing to do is,  to draw lines on ur swing . by either removing stills from the video or using a swing analysis software.(if u know what ur looking for that is) . by doing this u will see how far out ur 9 o clock position is. (in fact if u got to ur yotube account the video of u on the range with the fairway wood. the thumbnail has actually took a still at the exact 9 o clock position and u can see how far its out.)

u still do the same stuff as i said in ur last post u put up.

u don't take it so much inside anymore by the looks of it, but it could be the camera angle.

u still lock ur right leg out , and have to much weight over ur left side at the top of ur swing.

and u still move forward over the ball at the top.  be aware. that 8 days does not fix problems like this. it has took me 2 months to eradicate 2 of the things u do. with the help of a professional, in my swing. there swing problems u can play with , no-doubt. but if u wanna get consistent therefore better. they need to be fixed.

flat is the way forward

right.. i tried the position everyone wants me to do on here and all it does it cut loads, the video some put of tigers  position at 9o'clock... he is infact to upright and has in fact now changed his swing to a little more flatter because he was playing inconnsistent apparently

Teepeg, I'm not sure what you mean about Tiger, but the ideal position at 9 o,clock is pointing at or just inside the ball. Of course you can play good golf with it a little flatter, but it will mean the club is unbalanced.

I don't think you have to be too wristy or active with the hands to get in a good position if you keep your takeaway inactive.

i'll be honest and say you do not need a perfect 9 o'clock position look at jim fuyrk for god sake, all you people want is the perfect swing when you dont need it perfect in everyway and infact a little flatter is better than coming to upright to the ball because it means you get more shoulder turn, if you have noticed tiger has become alot flatter than what he use to be

Show/hide user stats

yeah . ur right in some respects u don't have to be perfect at 9 o clock on the way back its ur position at the ball that matters. but the fact is that in YOUR  golf swing a lot of the problems u have stem from that position at 9 o clock. that is why the people on here have pointed it out to u. ur saying that doing this produces a cut this alone tells u that u have a swing problem which is causing this. the golf swing is a series of flaws and imperfections inevitably u will get one right which knocks something else off. this is why people spend there whole lives perfecting the golf swing. btw tiger is not to upright, there's even a line been drawn on that picture to show u were the butt end of the club should be pointing at 9 o clock.

the reason u slice the ball at 9 o clock with the correct position is what i said in  my last post.  

"u still lock ur right leg out , and have to much weight over ur left side at the top of ur swing. "

u have a good golf swing. definitely a single figure golf swing. but not scratch level golf swing at all. . but maybe if u take notice of what people on here say instead of arguing that the best player to ever hold a golf club  is wrong and ur right. then u may get to the level ur looking for.

i dont slice a ball though? my bad shot is a hook. well thats a fair comment though adam i do agree with you on most of the stuff you said there, by the way could you put a video of your golf swing on here i would love to see what it looks like
Show/hide user stats

i dont have a video camera. when the pro gets the c swing working on the vector launch monitor. ill put one up.

 didnt say u did slice the ball i said YOU said u cut it when tried a better 9 o clock position. and i told u what caused it.

That picture was taken from the 2007 PGA it's not old and he is no flatter now (and flatter would be outside the ball line)

The reason you will cut the ball when you try to go upright is becasue your so use to swinging the club like a baseball bat and coming from the inside - if you really want to change it, it's going to take ages to groove into a straight ball flight.

As for saying everyone is after the perfect 9 o'clock position - there are tollerances and everyone swings differently, but your well outside the tollerence in my opinion.

You mention Jim Furyk - funnily enough you'd do well to try and copy his 9 o'clock position - he is REALLY upright: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQCCqGgs_2k

Compare that to you and you'll get what everone is trying to say.

the video you have pointed out there is from two weeks ago and my golf swing has recently been changed to a little bit more upright, how ever i am not looking for a perfect 9 o'clock because i want to play a consistent draw. i'll post some videos of what my golf swing looks like now.

oh an by the way tiger has changed his coach since that picture hasnt he! that was 2007 its 2008 now so hes obviously not going to have the same golf swing, he has become a little bit flatter if you look at a recent swing of his

Wow, 2 weeks to change your change. Very Impressive stuff.

You can play a draw with a perfect 9 o'clock position - everyone on tour manages it.
Easier to hit cuts too - which holds greens much better.

Also - Tiger hasn't really changed his swing much in the last few months - look at him from Doral - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8N-N4FEoMY&feature=related

A little flatter, but much steeper than you.

Don't beat yourself up mate, your swing works for you that's what's important. Yeah it is flat, but trying to emulate tour pros will only put you backwards, it may be a good thing in the long run or it may not -  but go to a well known pro before doing anything don't listen to us monkeys on golfmagic

Some of the old guys like Hogan and Hagen had flatter rounder swings like yours, they aint bad golfers, seems to be a movemnet towards going back to that style of swing too so you could just be before your time

By the way - I swing kind of the same way - I get too flat  and find it hard to get steeper, hence the interest.

I would recommend you get rid of that gay prqactice ball holder and go for a propper practice bag, you will see no end of improvement. 

On a secoundary note as reguards the swing, go to a quality Pro, have a good chat as to where you want to go with your game, the full monty, mind, putting, pitching etc.

Work out a plan of how to get their, if you cant find a local pro who thinks the same way travel a bit.

 Dont make swing changes on the advice of forum members looking at some poor quality vids on utube, with no real ball flight, and proper angles to go at, we are really just guessing.

Last point, swing how you like, with in limits, how many perfect swings on tour do you see? they all work to a degree.

I would not say latest vid to flat, or poor weight shift, depends on the swing page your reading. The're a lot of players that dont move off the ball on the way back.

In the end you want a swing that will repeat under pressure, which is simple to perform, with a safe shot when needed.

But most of all you want excellent putting and short game skills with a good mind set to go with it.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Cheers.
