Swing Video Soft Draw

[Notorious B.E.N.]

Thanks Brian for everything and this forum.

In september I was swinging very far from the inside and hitting blocks.
I actually shot my best round in a tourney, 72, by aiming way left and hitting a push. You have helped me a lot since then. I started getting a lot better by shaking the sugar. After I got that down I started working on soft draw (great vid). I've been working on sd for about month and a half now. All comments are appreciated. Don't be afraid to be to critical. Thanks all guys on the forum be helping me gain knowledge and a special thanks to Brian.

Nice swing Ben..I like the BS pivot....Keep it up brotha.

 

[Guitar Hero]

Nice high hands on the back swing and a good folow through look. Well Done!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Anyone see anything I could work on?

Am I doing anything wrong?

you have a good looking future ahead of you, nice swing for 16 years old, who is not someone like Rory, Tiger, or Danny... (obvious natural talent with parents who have the pocket books to support them getting better)

I'd turn your right foot in and your left foot out a little.

I noticed I did this naturally. What does turning your left foot out help you do?

 

[dashfan87]

I'd turn your right foot in and your left foot out a little.

what about Brian saying that both feet should be square to snap the chain better?

I personally don't like it... I like a flared front foot, but just asking what your thoughts were on that.

 

[vjsinger]

Maybe the flair in the foot would "tighten up" his draw..meaning lessen it. 10 yards isn't that much but..... Im just guessing.

Less turn back, more turn thru. This tip might not get you on tour tomorrow, but it could lesson the hook. Swing looks great, tho.

get a DTL vid up and we'll probly be able to give a better assesment

 

[Notorious B.E.N.]

Thanks dashfan and glcoach for the compliments.
Here is a DTL view.YouTube - Ben hitting driver DTL

On the DTL view the ball started at the bunker where my feet are pointing and drew to the bunker just right of my head. It looks better if you hit the high quality button (HQ) at the bottom right next to the volume.

its probably not what you want to hear, but i'd say just keep doing what you're doin

you are the draw pattern model IMO

Quick question. You probably noticed I have very little wrist hinge at the top of my swing. Is it fine how it is? I do it naturally. When I make myself get more hinge at the top I usually hit it way right.

Is that a range or a practice area at a course. Looks nice.

Its the Abilene Country Club range.

Umm...Brian, I was wondering what you think I could improve on in my swing?
