  • looks textbook to me , very nice

  • Great Swing. Wish mine looked as pretty. Soon as the snow melts all be at the driving range!

  • I can't say enough about your great swing! Balanced, nice straight posture (gives you good ball awareness at the strike, amongst a myriad of other benefits!) great position at the top. I love this set up and swing mechanics because it's sustainable to you for the rest of your life. Now manage your course management...and dude, your on tour.

  • Keep your head still. There's some lateral head movement I noticed in the FO camera angle. Work on keeping yourself centered, but a great looking swing other than that.

  • I agree with seminole9801 the face is slightly closed, also try squaring your stance, you hardly ever see great players with a closed stance.

  • Good swing plane, fundamentals are great. whats your handicap?

  • Just one tip. On your irons, the clubhead is a little bit closed during your backswing, causing you to delay your hands a touch on the downswing producing that little dip right at and just after impact, also causing you to "hang on" to the club just a little. That sounds like a lot haha but its just a cause and effect of one tiny thing. Fix that, and your swing is very sound.

  • perfect swing chec out mine and subb back?

  • you are not using your wrist so in backswing, u r just raising the club with no twisting. result would be a good accurate ball, but u can generate more power with ur wrist turning. also u can never learn to back spin the ball with short irons without using wrist. see other pros' backswings esp when the club is parallel to the ground.

  • you have a shortened backswing the club should be parralel to the ground at one point and you seem to be really stiff in your stace try to be more relaxed and ease the tension in ur shoulders

  • shorten up your backswing thats about it

  • no way only 2 years

    

  • @swimfastguy35

    Your post made me chuckle. :)

  • @hugobossdb exactly! haha

  • is this harry diamond close pal of rory mc ilroy by any chance???

  • Try and square up your shoulders to the line of your feet because at the moment they are open. By doing this you will cut out coming over the top and pulling the golf shot. It should also straighten up a fade or a slice if you have one.

  • @chappythegolfer his shoulders are square with his target line by looking at the iron he placed down on the ground.  I don't know if this guy is dropping his right foot back a couple inches allowing him to clear his hips. Personally, I would be more concerned with his shoulders square to his target vice his feet. But I completely understand what you mean. Kid has a fantastic swing if he really only has been playing 2 yrs.

  • If you hit the ball that pure consistently then just keep doing what your doing and work on short game.

  • perfect but you don t need very speed. i litle moore low speed in backswing

  • Swing looks really solid, to give a critique (if you can even find one) is that it is maybe just a little stiff. Your swing looks like the kinda people who spend 90% of practice on the range hitting balls, and the other 10% is actually playing or practicing short game. Play more and enjoy the game rather than making such a pretty swing.

  • @DavidWatson2071 Perfect comment, just loosen up and have fun. Otherwise I think you have a great swing!

  • Really nice swing, Your quite stiff on the downswing with your hips, They seem to be very still when you start to unwind but play catch up more towards the middle of the dowswing.

    Also if your having a problem with a hook every now and then it seems like your left wrist bows a bit to much at the top. Whenever it starts ( if it does happen) just work on making the left wrist straight with the forearm.

    Take a look at rory's swing and you will see.

    Really nice swing though.

  • real nice swing you got there!

  • i gotta say man good swing, just a little stiff as you begin the downswing, loosen up a bit

  • good swing but not natural = inconsistent

  • people that say shit like haroldsdodge are fags and should be banned from here cause they are fucking annoying, also your swing is good but need lots of work

  • Comment removed

  • A decent swing and a decent video. Not sure why all the negative votes. Seems there are some weirdly ungenerous people out there, with totally unrealistic expectations of an amateur vid of an amateur golfer.

    Good luck with your game though. Post another vid when you get to scratch!

  • Phillip is on the right track. You're weak with your lower body--quick, but it lacks snap. At impact you are basically bringing your hips along for the ride as you finish, even tho you started turning them first. As you uncoil, leave your back to the target, drop the left foot (opening the hip) and push off both feet to get those hips around. Your arms will drop into the slot and you can rotate them through with the rest of your rotation: shoulders, hips, etc. Otherwise--great start!

  • I have the golf bug really bad i cant stop playing, I hit my best yesterday (93) i have played 25 to 30 rounds in under 12 months... Can Anyone better or worse that? Im just curious to compare with others.

  • Good swing, but look at 0:26 you can see the overswing, as the wrists collapse at the top of the swing, you then whip the club back to the downswing. Work on 3/4 swings and keeping a good distance between your hand and head at the top of the swing. This will create a more compact swing and generate consistent ball striking. Check out my swing.

  • club head too closed on the back swing, u gotta have a hard time playing a fade

  • Don't listen to the haters. I guarentee 95% of them can't swing the club like you (hence why they go on youtube and naysay other people). You have an awesome swing. Keep sharpening the fundamentals (setup,grip,tempo etc)and you'll continue to be a great player. Don't get wrapped up in your swing, practice your short game. Putting is the great equalizer. Don't be overly harsh/critical of others. Be polite and let your game do the talking and you will be liked and respected by anyone who matters.

  • CASTING... start your swing by rotating your hips. Don't shift your weight as much, a little is good but too much can cause you to lose distance.

  • I suggest you actually use the club on the ground for its purpose and align up to it correctly. Not a bad swing, but by no means great. Not bad for two years tho. Get some lessons and you could be pretty decent.

  • That's a Gay looking swing. You can play well but gotta look good doing it.

  • overswing

  • Your swing looks really good man! The only thing you could work on (if you want to) is your forward press, I used to do that and stopped doing it and ball striking improved a lot. Takes some getting use to but it'll help you get a more consistant impact cuz your hands arent already preset..

  • when this is your natural swing leaf it this way and enjoy golf

  • very nice swing, backswing is short and you can bring you club up higher so that your right elbow should some what be like ur flexing ur muscles

  • cons: keep clubface shut on back swing which means you have to compensate and at top maybe a little quick but main thing is a lot of swaying and head movement

    pros: great tempo on take away, nice flat back, great balance

    overall it looks like you strike the ball well which is what matters so if you are scoring well dont change wat works

  • can't say anything bad about the swing but that shirt is ugly

  • His swing puts a lot of pros to shame, but having a good swing and a consistently low handicap are two different things. You have to be able to chip, putt, lob, punch, judge wind/elevation/lies, etc. Basically it takes LOTS of experience!

  • No swing is perfect but this is definitely good

  • The 12 year old must be playing putt putt a year and a half wont let you shoot 2 under

  • im 12 ive been playing for a year and a half and my swing looks pretty darn good :I ijust shot 2 under a myhome course yesterday XD

  • your swing is really good. just develop some kind of tempo and grow a waist. then you will be a golfer not just an amazing golf wacker guy.

  • All that matters with any golf swing is what does the ball do, pretty, ugly it doesnt matter if the ball goes long and straight and is repeatable you have a good swing.

  • There is no such thing as a perfect swing, but you do have a nice swing and make good contact!

  • Near perfect....could slow your transition down a hair and make a better shoulder turn. Hips sway a tad, but other than that it looks great. You don't need the perfect swing to hit it long and straight and sometimes over-analyzing is bad for golf. Get it up-and-down and you will score.

  • @JoeMahedy41 The left knee bends and the hip sways a bit unless you have perfect flexibility and perfect balance. I have been trying to correct these two "issues" a long time and end up not rotating enough with an inside-out swing path. Sometimes its better to let nature take its course, if you will..wink..wink

  • clubface closed on the backswing

  • the reason for so many dislikes would have to be the title

  • BIT OF A SWAY IN YOUR SWING!

  • no such thing at the perfect swing for all players only base fundamentals that are constants with all good players. Jimenez , els , jb holmes , player , hogan they all have the perfect swings for them. This perfect swing idea and those that think to technical about how they swing it will always eventually suffer in the mental game. stick to that swing it obviously does the job just try and get the ball in the hole in as fewer shots possible and you will be half way there.

  • Not bad swing but like someone said you swing a bit too much inside, good takeaway club is parallel, however at the top your left wrist is too flat, practice swinging the club with just your left hand. This is why your clubface is closed at the top which means your bad shot is a hook Im guessing. 2 years is not bad but what you off? and how old are you? Im about your age so we got something in common

  • My best round is 94 and i have played roughly 30-40 rounds

  • I broke a 100 in my 3rd round, 90 in my 15th and shot 76 in my 55th round of golf on 7000 yards on a difficult course, and could shape the ball any way, flop, punch, just about everything. if you want a pat on the back, ask your family. Youtube isn't the place to get praise for how your swing looks. I hate when shitty little golfers do this crap.

  • @baffinjigger if u shot mid 70s in less than 100 games i say bullshit. 76 on 55th round then u wake up with a dick in ur hand

  • @MaTtY40k :) I'll take that as a compliment. I could golf from the moment I picked up a club. I learned from watching television, I always watched it , just never played it until I was 17.

  • @MaTtY40k

    it can happen

    I shot 125 at age 35 shot 75 at age 38

    it's called hard work and athleticism

  • @Upinarms8215 i started and got my h/c in 2007, then had a -2 in 2008, end of 2010 I shot -4 + won the Regional boys championship. I did put a lot of time into golf !

  • Here's a comment: GO PRO

  • Left wrist is bowed at the top, which causes the clubface to close slightly. Means you have to have quick hips to square it up for impact - a la Dustin Johnson. Do you hit a low draw by any chance? On the whole very good though.

  • @joelyboy30 if you have a shut clubface at the top then it is essential that you hold the hands , not a block , but dont release to quick , as long as these things go hand in hand then you will strike it pure , i cant quite tell if this guy dose it

  • From DTL you laid the club down and your feet are still very closed to it.

  • head could do with staying a little further back after contact which could help you get some more height on the ball

  • your too far over the ball

  • nice swing dude

  • you are inside plane, need to bring the clubhead outside more

  • Good looking swing-lots of work in that-how does it work on the course?

  • nice swing

  • fucking shit

  • I love it, wish I could hit it pure like that.

  • @tincup1268 you jelly?

  • nope

  • range player that's it

  • Id love to criticise, but that's nice. Great plane, rhythm, lag, pivot. All the ingredients. 2 years-no way, you've been playing longer or had LOTS of tuition.

  • good swing move your grip more to the middle

  • very nice

  • adam scotttttt swing holy shh ISvi SHIT

    

  • Yes

  • Caught a bit heavy

  • very nice for two years.

  • nice swing but a little too long to be fair, would think you play off around 3?

  • Nice swing fair play. Hope you can putt.

  • Not sure about being perfect as there is no such thing as perfect swing in golf.

    But your swing is very solid and balanced.

    Great achivement in 2 years!

  • Theres no such thing as a perfect swing.

  • great swing

  • Thats a pretty good swing! Try to work on not changing your spine angle, which is the axis of rotation for your swing. If you maintain it throughout the swing, more importantly through impact, your ball striking will improve dramatically. Youll definitely see flusher hits.

  • shithouse swing

    

  • Very impressive swing for someone that's only been playing for 2 years. Like others have mentioned, I'd keep my right foot on the ground a little longer past impact. This doesn't mean stop using your lower body. You just need to learn how to roll your right foot onto its side through impact, this will feel pretty powerful as your able to leverage the ground better.

  • nice swing! Personally I would like to see more rotating and less sliding of the hips.

  • @Squiffy124 what's adsense?

  • you need to take your club back strait

  • Hit a bunch of those pureeeee. Nice swing. But nothing/nobody is perfect

  • Hmm slightly closed club face. Also, your head seems to move quite a bit away from the ball on back swing. Im not advocating stack and tilt by no means, but a little less "sway" will only help to achieve consistent ball striking.

  • nice swing

    

  • nice swing...but the club is to shut on the down swing...sometimes leads to a hook shot

  • really, really nice swing there..

    

  • Very nice swing, better than mine, you can definitely call it perfect to me...

    Only one thing that I notice in the beginning of the take away; that is your grip pressure. It seems a bit too tight, just loosen up a little.....

  • Dont be jealous. Its a fucking nice golf swing.

  • It's a damn good swing.

  • been playing 2 yeaars? bullshit!

  • @tommykrepp you jelly?

  • too closed goin up but pretty good

  • i'd say try to keep that head a little more steady in the backswing but besides that you have a very nice and natural swing.

  • @ckonen6 Actually I would say Stuart Appleby's swing - certainly with his irons - is faultless.

    I guess the point is - great swing doesn't always mean great results! And you still gotta hole those putts!

  • @Squiffy124 only tip id give is try and keep that head on the ground for just a second longer :P other then that beautiful swing, beautiful :)

  • only tip id give is try and keep that head on the ground for just a second longer :P other then that beautiful swing, beautiful :)

  • @Squiffy124 so your a money whore, ok bro

  • fuck

  • @Squiffy124 it is a good swing though, stiff back, keep your left arm straight, good bend in the club, keep your head down, you did well mate

  • nice swing!!!

    

  • Is it perfect if you pulled it left? Plus your feet are closed. Good swing, but not perfect...

  • u could keep your head a little straighter and keep it from rocking

  • Nobody's swing is perfect.

  • @Squiffy124 how did you connect youtube with adsense? lol

  • @Squiffy124 obviously your idea worked because you've got almost 45,000 views BTW very nice swing

  • Very nice swing!! clean hit too

  • I wouldnt say its perfect......but I have to say.....you have been playing for 2 years, so when considering that, your swing is very good.

  • perfect golf swing but come on, loosen up a little. however really good

  • @charlrogers1990 I agree completely. I hate seeing stiff swings. Blurrgh

  • Very Rich Beem-like

  • sry but many golfers talk about the perfect golf swing

  • perfect swing is not possible you bunch of idiots...but having an almost perfect golf swing is possible...best example Tiger Woods

  • that's not a perfect swing. my swing is a perfect swing

  • nice swing but there is no such thing as a perfect swing everyones is different

  • you are going to shallow on your back swing and going to far back at the top.... not perfect

  • @Stupidcomidian I do'nt think that he actually thinks its perfect, its just for the views, I would also say that his backswing looks pretty tidy, on plane and good tempo. Maybe a tiny bit shallow on the downswing, but thats just splitting hairs, and too far at the top? Please, it is almost parallel and loads of pros go slightly past, so I wouldn't be critical.

  • for only playing two years that is a pretty nice swing

    very balanced

  • No such a thing bud

  • Hood swing but soory m8 no one has a perfect swing

  • Amazing swing but you cant class any swing as perfect but seriously awesome swing.

  • really nice swing! good job man!

    

  • pretty nice swing. not too much goin on so most likely youre consistent. i have some videos on my channel of my swing. check em out and let me know what you think

  • Nice swing, keep in mind though, it´s not all about the swing.

  • DAm good

    

  • The swing is good , contact sounded very nice. Perfect swing for you ;)

  • Dude .. you are doing alright but u have to change so many things to get better .... hope this will help you out and make you understand you shouldnt brag about what u aint got 

  • Dude .. you are doing alright but u have to change so many things to get better .... so dont brag bout what u dont have.....

  • Dude .. you are doing alright but u have to change so many things to get better .... so dont brag bout what u dont have

  • You need some of your own personality in your swing. You are wayyyy to by the book.

  • pretty solid, im 17 have almost same swing except with a fraction of a head bob cant get it out of mine

  • UR SWING ISNT GOOD!

    

  • Are your misses phaatt?

  • very nice, not too much to improve on there

  • great swing.

  • You should start your downswing with your hips for more distance. Check out the fred couples video on my channel

  • pure swing just club gets shut on the way back, ur miss hit would be left yea? otherwise on plane and lower body is nice and solid..also just a touch quick..

  • No way. , your backswing to down swing transistion is way off sync.

  • i am 15 and play for county and i have been playing now for 12 years and have hit the ball many times over 300 yards and i am 5'9 and 10 stone

  • @XxSilenTPr3yxX why do we care?

  • @AmaziinqVids ummm excuse me can you be quiet... thanks

  • @XxSilenTPr3yxX well then your a fucking sad little boy nobody gives a shit! and if you have been playing for 12 ears you fucking should be able too!

  • @TheCaRSoN1231 excuse me mr but i beleive you have a temper problem and really short get that looked at ! and also not 12 EARS 12 YEARS get it right mate if your trying to provve a point.... and sad ?? not really saying i wont end up living in a council house for the rest of my life like you.....

  • @XxSilenTPr3yxX okay shut the fuck up kid. seriously 

  • @AmaziinqVids excuse meee.... i beleive i told you to be quiet unless you are spoken to thanks

  • @XxSilenTPr3yxX LOL you're trying to correct people's spelling when you can't write a sentence which isn't full of basic spelling and grammar mistakes. Now that's funny :)

    You won't end up living in a 'council house' because you already do.

  • @Jospehporta ummm yes ok very good !! anyways no pretty sure i dont live in a council house saying my dad runs and exporting business from china to the uk !

  • @XxSilenTPr3yxX LOL which means what? Your dad imports cheap junk from China, congratulations. Fact is you have no idea how much money he makes or how much debt he carries. You certainly aren't rich ;) Import/Export businesses don't impress me, they are a dime a dozen. Hell I came across many people like that when I lived in HK, in fact I got back to HK twice a year we still own a house on the island :)

    Of course this doesn't validate your bullshit claims of your golfing abilities :)

  • @Jospehporta i tell you what... check out my channel in a couple of days !! i will post a video of my and my swing !! you will then get too see wont you if this is bullshit or not and mate ummmmm pretty sure i am quite well off tbh but hey you dont have to beleive ! but tht would just be you being a stubborn prick wouldnt it :)

  • @XxSilenTPr3yxX You live off your parents, you aren't well off at all. It isn't your money kid :) I wait with baited breath to see this 300 yard swing you claim to have.

  • @TheCaRSoN1231 That guy is a douche.
