Well here it is, a swing over 30 years in the making, too bad I havnt improved for the last 20 :)
I havnt seen my swing on video for years and now note I still do the same things wrong. I almost wept when I saw my swing from behind and am now too embarrased to post that view until i sort a couple of things out.

Nice looking action but was the footage taken with a phone camera or something very blurry?

+1 and +2.

Seriously - do you want to fix it ?

I was using a camara sitting on my golf bag, perhaps the shadow affected the focus.
"Too much spare time" means a long slow tempo doesnt it?
When I can create a tight coil and not release the tension with my lateral slide I seen to have so much more control.
I tend to slide and overswing, I think thats all id like to change from the front view.
After seeing my swing from behind, Im considering professional help.

No . . . it means the music and the intro :)

You are sliding on your backswing and then tilting your upper body towards the target at the top.

You need to learn how to turn and coil the upper body. Any decent pro can help you with that.

Where are you based ?

cant be too much star wars can there ?
It was actually my first attempt at movie maker, so perhaps it was a little OTT.

Well I do laugh at both of them.

It's a shame that only one of them is intentionally comedic.

I think thats why Episode One was a little of a let down for most Star War fans, they did try and introduce some comedy.

There is another reason.....

It sucked really really badly.

Nice looking swing. This jogs memories of suggestions to half bury a couple of golf balls and have the right side of your right heel on top of these balls while swinging. You'll find it hard to sway when you've got something to turn in to on the backswing and your hips won't be able to turn as much.

Star Wars was forever ruined for me thanks to Mr Binx. Worst. Character. Ever.

Yes spose youre right, being a Star Wars trajic I just accepted him as part of the scenery. I find it somehow disturbing, that like most large organisations he was promoted to his level of incompetence, then manipulated which led to the fall of the republic. I wonder if Lucas had anyone in mind when he brought a bumbling country boy into politics?
