My Driver Swing

As I'm constantly messing with my swing trying to get something consistent that is easy to repeat I decided I'd better have a look at what I'm actually doing. Qualities a bit crap though.

Noticed my stance is slightly closed so something I'll need to look at when I play as it may be creeping in without me noticing. I also have a tendency to slightly over swing past parallel which I never realised until I looked at a mirror.

My main aim is to get a fairly flat plan and than start the swing with the hips and let the rest follow realeasing the hands through impact.

Slow version

Mark,

To me it looks like you're trying to smash the sh*t out of the ball a little too much. I used to have the same problem. I have learnt to control my swing more and am much more consistent.

Incidentaly, you do look as though you are "reaching" a little too much.  Alas I have an engineering background and look at things differently.

If you swing fast and hard enough, inertia will push your arms away from your body, which is why I suspect you have to reach. Slow it down a bit and you won't need to reach so much on address.

One thing I notice is that you appear to be 'Reaching' for the ball, your hands are too far away from your body.

Get somebody to stand behind the target line and they can tell you if your hands are under your chin.
