haha cool cool.
you're very flexible that's for sure.
your swing plane is rather steep, do you fade your shots?

I see I see.

Well you still can play your irons if you fade your shots, but might be a problem when it comes to hitting hybrids or woods off the deck or fairway.

Your transistion to the top of backswing is solid, very sturdy over the ball.

Instead of triggering your downswing by driving your legs and hips first, try dropping your hands maybe slightly past your shoulder height before rotating through with your waist.

Might promote a more inside to out swing path, and soon enough a draw shot.

You've got the fundamentals, won't take you long to start drawing your shots! Smile

fwoarrr i like your finish! if i did that my spine would pop out though.. are your fades very jialat? having a slight fade might not be such a bad thing.

Yeah do give that a shot, I had the same swing path as you as well. Couldn't play my hybrids or woods off the deck, major slice and at best a severe fade.

Its mostly common with guy golfers, because we damn eager to hit the ball so we take the shortest swing path to connect our club to the ball, where got time to drop hands 1st? Laughing

But what happens is that the shaft angle at impact is might steeper than at address, aka the infamous "over the top" swing path.

Dropping your hands down towards the ground to initiate the downswing might take a bit of timing and getting used to.

You could do what I did, and adopt a 1 swing plane. My shaft angle at address mirrors the shaft and arm angle at the top of my backswing.

So as long as I keep my club square throughout, I can swing as hard as I want and not worry about timing. Its the lazy way out Laughing
