Take a look at my dad's swing, tell me what you think

[jbrunk]

Big high draws with driver and irons, heely, and a bit shanky sometimes.

Very typical downswing for a golfer that's across the line. He 'pops out' and then gets across line which is a little unusual. Needs to have a path out to the right with that swing or he'll tip out and hit the shank. May need to flatten his irons since his downswing is pretty flat.

Just my .02

This type of swing is epidemic at the club golfer level. Too much roll early with no pivot, a late lift (super cupped wrist) and late turn sending the club too far behind the pivot. Then an overuse of the upper body to try and pull the club back into play. The pivot torque opens the face then its a game of catch up the rest of the way.

Jbrunk, I sure as hell dont have all the answers but the takeaway has to go if the other components are going to fall in line.

And...
the high hands at address (above the belt buckle) sets the whole thing up, IMO.
