    If you want to hit it further with less effort, then you need to learn how to use your body properly and hold some angle between you left forearm and the club shaft all the way down.

    as i said - show me front on and I will give you a proper explanation
    You know thats not the case....

    That is what i thought...

    But changing your grip to try and get you to rotate through impact is retarded.

    Blu is coming up next Thursday - why dont you come up as well ?

    Not really - you just have to learn how to sustain a bit of lag. Your swing is not that bad - it just has no grunt behind it. Once you learn how to get a bit of width on the downswing and keep a bit of angle in the right wrist - the other stuff will take care of itself with a bit or practice.

    And I don't understand why a lot of you guys think that a lot of practice is required. It is not like we are all scratch golfers trying to keep a low handicap... Most of it is learning what to do and trusting that what you are doing is right and then not trying something new when the current thing doesn't work. Putting it into practice is a piece of piss.

    You need Power - So learn how to get Power. Go up to your coach and say "I want distance", if he doesn't give you distance - find another coach who will.

    Grip changes, alignment and posture does not give you power, they gives you accuracy - something you already have.

    I take it all onboard, as i always do when talking to you.
    Let me try implement what he wants me too do first.
    I feel more stable thru the swing, and going by trackman (which he had on the whole lesson) my swing speed increased from 96 to 99 as i had more control i could go after it a bit more.
    I dont have alot of time to practice with my work, and the missus shifts and kids, so this will take time.
    But i get what your saying, with the lag, and width.

    I see your problem... the ball picker up car is only 100m away... you need it to get further away so as to really test your swing out.


    Seriously though... Was that 2nd ball on the mat put there for some sort of drill? I would have thought you should nearly be knocking that away on the back swing?

    Cool action LS! Do you ever miss a fairway? I dont know what you are going on about your swing looks decent. A little off atm but nothing to stress about. Nice to see a smooth swing!

    Thanks CT, when it's on its good.
    I had a good look and I fell I'm coming up on the backswing, I'm thinking I need to stay down on the ball, even in the backswing?

    And yeah for what my opinion is worth one of my first thoughts was it looked like you were lifting up at the top of the back swing which I hadn't really noticed as much in your swing before. Down and through could be a good thought perhaps???

    I'm bias but I think Virge was onto it in this post. You need more width to create power. You should be hitting it way past me.

    You seem to have very little body rotation on the back swing, but rather you swing the club around yourself with the arms.

    You build power from the ground up, and whilst I am probably the last person to be offering coaching advice, I would suggest focusing on turning your right arse cheek away from the ball on the back swing, to encourage a proper body turn, then drive back toward the ball with the lower body.

    Thanks Dave, all advise will be taken onbaord!
    I was trying to be more compact, but I'll try lengthen my swing and let it free flow a bit more...

    I am not sure it is about the length of your back swing, but rather the way your body rotates.

    Again, I am not the best person the be coaching another, but if you are hitting it left to right, and not very far ( never seen you play in person) it tells me you are not using your body enough.

    Careful Dave, if you tell him all the secrets he'll be outdriving all of us before long. Have you seen the size of his calves? God help that little, white ball if ge starts using ground power.
