I am getting back to golf after a few months layoff. I normally shot in the high 80's to low 90's, but I have never been real consistent. I am currently missing left and right with my woods and hitting thin iron shots. I would love more driver distance as my current distance is 210-225 with the occasional 250. My 5 Wood is around 195-205 and PW is 125 yards. I'm 5'10" 170 LBS.

A few years ago I ran across this website, and the NSA pattern, which really helped my game! I always hit a slice until watching that video (Thanks Brian!!!) I have also tried the soft draw with mixed success.

I am including a few recent videos and would love some input. I am trying to decide which pattern I should work on. If you see any issues (I have a few ;) ) please let me know. I have a natural flat one-plane type swing. I also included a video of me attempting a more traditional two-plane type swing which i'm not sure is better for my body and / or manzella patterns.

Thanks for the help!!!


Driver 121112 - Natural flat backswing - Pretty good shot


Iron 1211112 - Natural flat backswing


Driver 121212 - More upright backswing

Cool range but there needs to be more stuff to aim at. Like Canadian Geese or something.

Not really a pattern per se but have you seen Ideas about the Release?

Dangerous to comment after Brian has asked to see a face on, but what the hell.

You have some pretty big swing flaws. Very shut face face at the top. Extreme steepening of the shaft in the downswing causing a jump up backing out hold off the face move. Back foot up in the air very early in the down swing.

I will leave it at that and challenge to study hard to learn more about the basics.

If it were me and I got a post from Brian, I would run out and make the face on video ASAP!

Here is an old face on from earlier this year. I can't record a new face on until late next week. Thanks!

I think he's saying Brian's "video post" explains everything.

The question is, which of Brian's "video post" is he referring to?
