Hi there,
I've just come back after injury and have only been able to practice thus far. I'm hitting it any which way I need to but can see my old flaws. I have very little hip turn and so a bit steep with the arms and too upright at the top. However, being tall and thin I'm wondering if this is not such a bad thing. Active hips may lead to some balance issues. It's the death of winter over here in Aus and still reaching all the par 5s so unless I can see clearly where it will help it may be best to let sleeping dogs lie. I imagine getting on a lower plane will help me in being able to hit it harder from the top but I'm not totally convinced. The shots in the following Youtube are a mix of very slight fades and draws dancing around a white post in the distance. Any and all feedback most welcome.

Thanks in advance,

You have a nice Ian Poulter-ish thing going. I wouldn't worry about being steep. Sean O'Hair is steep like that and is a phenonemal ball striker. You are pretty armsy but if you are happy with your distance then I guess that's no big deal either.

Also, I like that nice, green, vacant range you're practicing at. No distractions.

Thanks for the response. There are never too many people out there in Winter when it's only 5 degrees! Just me and the guy next to me. You may have noticed some cigarette smoke wafting across.

Being upright is a strange thing. I can picture being nice and deep and my top of backswing will only change by small amounts. I don't rotate my left arm much which will no doubt contribute. I'm convinced that a person's body type has a lot to do with it.
