r/GolfSwing

Hey guys, I want to increase my swing speed and other aspects of my swing in general and would love some very solicited advice on how to do so hahaha
I’ve been golfing on and off since covid but this is the first summer where I actually started playing consistently. Even so, my swing speed is pretty damn slow.
I put this video into my buddy’s 18 birdies swing analyzer (admittedly I got to look at it for a minute and couldn’t break down any of the advice) but I know it said my head moved a little and something with my back and ass wasn’t right 😂
Anyway, I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts, thanks!

His first year golfing is coming to an end, he watches a lot of tip videos before he plays I think it gets in his head told him to just swing his swing and the next few holes went smoother

This is one of the only times I have gone outside the simulator and practiced my swing. Actually, after today’s session, I believe I’m going g to cancel my simulator membership and solely focus on actually getting to a course and hitting some balls. I think it’s been great for me the last 10 months, but it’s definitely ran its course.

Anyways, I felt like I hit the ball really well today, but part of me believes the mat has been this facade to me hitting good golf shots and if I actually go and hit off grass, it’s going to be a whole different ball game. Unfortunately, none of the courses in my area offer anything but mats, so I may have to actually play a round to see where I am at. Do you guys think this is true? Or is it all mental?

P.S- I am hitting the piss out of my irons, I think I can break 120 here soon, Tehe.

I’ve been trying to golf lately these are some driver swings with my own driver. I’ve been trying to get more into like a golfer finish but it’s hard any tips to finish smooth ? Sorry abt the audio I thought it was funny

We’ve been playing golf together for 20 years. We call him Topper Thomas.

Been playing about 9 months still inconsistent with the driver. What am I doing wrong.

I am “self taught” golfer. My iron game has always been my weakness. The second was almost a shank. Im either pulling everything left or lately it just has been a lazy slice.

I am 37 w a fused spine. I am not going at the ball like I used. Looking for any and all tips.

I'm in full blown yips and I can't fight my way out of it. I was playing great all summer, broke 80 twice and was regularly shooting mid-low 80s. Then one day, poof my swing was completely gone. I had the shanks, and now I just can't seem to generate any power or find the center of the club face. Is there something glaringly wrong here? Any help is appreciated. I want to take time off but it's outing and event season and I'm committed to a bunch. Luckily short game and putting is keeping me from triple digits but tee to green is just an absolute struggle. Thanks

I’ve been working on increasing my angle of attack and seem to be getting less backspin. I had assumed increasing angle of attack would increase back spin. What’s the logic here that I’m missing. This is a 44 degree PW off of a mat, so I usually see closer to 8k back spin.

Shot 115 last time I played for context lol I’m aware more hand depth would be ideal, I think I compensate by lifting my hands but really struggle to get hand depth and can’t seem to swing without a chicken wing. What am I missing?

Second year golfing. Have gotten two lessons so far. First one was with a guy who changed my grip. Went to interlocking pinky fingers and leaning towards a weaker grip. Second guy had me load my back foot on takeaway as I was initially putting all my weight on my front. Really struggle with topping and hard left hooks. Rarely get any air on my shots.

I’m an average golfer who’s had a couple of lessons recently. Most of the work so far has been on my backswing (i.e. getting pressure into my right heel, wrist position, and keeping my butt against the “wall”).

Since putting effort into those changes, my main miss seems to be left/pulls and overdraws/hooks. Lots more curve than I’m used to.

Looking at my swing, I know there is a LOT to work on haha, but I’m interested to see what people would you work on first if the goal was simply better strike and dispersion? Thanks!

Built this for myself while working on my swing, figured others might find it useful.

SwingCheck update:

Feedback has been great so far, thank you! Here's what improved in the last 24 hours:

- Much easier marking: a pro example (Rory for irons, Tiger for drivers) right next to your video, clear step-by-step prompts, and a highlight on the next point to click.

- Share your results as a PDF link.

- Club choice: irons and drivers are judged with their own ranges.

- Fairer, friendlier results: fewer false alarms on things good players do, and plain-language feedback.

- Smoother uploads: a camera setup guide, black bars cropped automatically, and faster pictures.

- Small touches: rename your swings, and clearer messages throughout.

Keep the feedback coming!

Ive recently been trying to sling the arm structure underneath me in the downswing. The resulting lower body movement seems to be an aggressive leg straightening. It seems that depending on how i load the trail side, I either seem to be posting up against my heels or the balls of my feet. Whats the correct answer feel? (or neither)

Does this lower body action look right?
