Down the line, looks fantastic! Face-on, you are losing lag prematurely (called throwaway in TGM speak. I cannot isolate impact, but it looks as though you would have a bent left wrist at impact causing a decrease in both distance and accuracy. There are many ways to approach acquiring a flat left wrist through the impact interval and you can find several of them by searching the website and/or buying Brian's "Confessions of a Former Flipper" video. You have an extremely solid foundation, and if you are not already playing great golf it may very well be right around the corner.

How old are you?

What is your handicap?

"Flipping" is simply the result of applying leverage pressure to the golf shaft at the outset of the downswing. To NOT allow premature release and a waste of potential, stored energy in the 90 degree wristcock/fold position, DO NOT push the SHAFT in any possible way. Any pressure in your right hand that is happening DOES move the shaft early.

Do drills where you drag the GRIP CAP ALONE down and around in its arc, and pretend you are standing in a door jamb and need to hit the side of the entryway WITH the grip cap: not allowing ANY release, but hitting the door jamb with the clubshaft horizontal to the ground. Doing this with an IMAGINARY door jamb will inform you of your inability TO swing the club without release NECESSARILY happening. IOW, by trying to do something so extreme as that, you will discover, if you listen to your own feelings, just how you are shoving on the shaft inappropriately.

HKelley suggests for such a problem that you shorten your backswing for a while. It may help, but not nearly as much as UNDERSTANDING, and DEALING WITH, the root cause, which is that somehow in some subtle way, you ARE pushing on the shaft.

Another drill is to overlap your entire left hand with your entire right hand, no right hand fingers on the club at all. This way you CAN NOT shove the SHAFT with your right hand; you can only move the left hand. It is what HK refers to using the pressure point of the right wristbone; DO NOT use "pressure" in your right index finger, as that can well be the source of the problem of premature release.

OK, I must say a bit more!
I the winter this year I also videotaped my swing and I had very much lag in it. I am going forward to post a few pics. Then in April I had a bike accident and couldn't play about 2 months, and when I started I hit very high balls. Now I don't know how it feels to swing with more lag. In the winter I watched Sergio Garcia and try to swing with the same rythm as him. But now the lost of accurancy ist to big, when I swing in this way! My biggest problem is and was (also when I had much more lag) my distance. My clubheadspeed is only about 100mph. My age is 16.
Just one more sentence:
I am from German and I have a TGM book here at home. But I am not able to read it, because it is to difficult. So I don't understand anything in your TGM English ;).
Thanks

At address from the rear view I think there is too much angle between left arm and club shaft, if you notice you jump up with your shoulders right before impact, you are close to standing straight up with your driver at impact but the frame right before you are not. that butt end of the club points a little too close to your pee pee, point somewhere between belt and belly button. need to get some right elbow bend in there so we can see the left fore arm above the right one and this will get your shoulders closer to square, although I am not saying swing with exactly square shoulders/square set up.
look at the post for a level left wrist, research it some more, and add that into your set up. You have a pretty good swing and it will only get better with what may seem like minor adjustments
good luck in the search,
neil

The impact position of the left arm and club, entirely different from the pics of the shaft plane, are indicative of the irrelevance of such an analysis, IMO. Higher hands at impact are an inevitable effect...

I'd have to see this in real time to decide on whether I thought anything needed tweaked. Positions don't inform sufficiently. Rhythm, balance, -- dynamics need to be seen in motion. Like music, it can't be "heard" by looking at notes.

Nothing to change in that iron swing face on. Great. Looks easy, it's powerful, and it will stand up to pressure. Now learn mental toughness and the short game and get into competition....

My problems

Hello!
Thanks for your positive feedback.
But I have two "problems". It is a bit late to tell you them, but I wanted to hear your analyses first. Now they come: I am not very long. About 100mph Clubheadspeed with the driver. Perhaps, or probably for me, this comes from my physical weaknesses. I am not very tall, yet ;), and not very strong. But I started a workout routine half a year ago. I want to get my speed up to 110mph. With the lon irons I loose distance, because I am not swinging and don`t get enough spin on the ball.
And I miss sometimes to the right with the driver (push).
What do you think?
