Here are video clips of my swing with a 7-iron and a driver. There is a version at regular speed and a version in slow motion of each.

- 7-iron, regular speed (240 k)
- 7-iron, slow motion (361 k)

- Driver, regular speed (317 k)
- Driver, slow motion (563 k)
There are some things I like and some things I don’t about my swing.
The Good
- I’m shifting my weight behind the ball better.
- I’m not taking the club so far past parallel.
- I’m making a good shoulder turn.
- The ball is generally going in the right direction.
The Bad
- I’m not in my knees enough and straightening my back leg on my backswing.
- I’m still taking the club back a little more than I’d like.
- My hands are a little too far back when I make contact with the ball.
- I’m coming up a little in my backswing and my head is moving down on the downswing (like Tiger). I’d rather stay level (like Ernie).
- My left foot is moving and re-planting when I swing the driver.
- I’d like to be moving my weight forward a little better, that would probably help my hand position.
- The swing is still a little loose, needs tightening up.

good looking swing! wish i had one close to where you’ve got it now. thanks for sharing/posting – always appreciate seeing non-pros who can swing the golf club really well.
hey, what driving range were you at when you took these videos? is it in the bay area?
Thanks, I think it’s improved quite a bit this year – shorter backswing and better hand/arm position through the ball. I should post an update. 🙂
The range is near my house in Colorado.
Hi,
I just found your site looking for golf swings, nice one. I have a trick I use when I can’t seem to keep my left heel down. At address, I usually position my left heel in the position it ends up when I finish my swing so that it’s already in its final position and will not affect my swing by changing position during the swing.
