The third swing analysis video provided by my instructor, Wayne DeFrancesco, is at the end of this post. Check out the first and second ones here. While I have made progress and the swing looks better, there is still a lot to work on.
Here, I finally start to shallow the swing but can definitely shallow it more. The steeper my swing is, the easier it is to hit behind the ball (fat) or skull it (thin), neither of which I want to do.
I also work on maintaining depth in my waist (hips and but back) and rotating/finishing around to the left of the target, instead of swaying towards the target. This also gives me more space between my body and the ball. My hands to come through this space, which helps with shallowing the club.
One potential MAJOR change is that I am getting fit for clubs this week. The clubs that I currently have were fit for me about 4 years ago. They are 1/4″ inch longer than standard, but we think that I could use some extra length in the club. I’m 6’5″ but my arms are relatively short for my body. So theoretically I would need longer clubs than the average 6’5″ person. If the club is longer, I should be able to stand farther away from the ball and swing on a flatter (instead of steeper) plane.
