Flat Golf swing.....any suggestions?

I shoot somewhere between 68 and 82, depending on the day. Does anyone have any input on if my swing is too flat?

Thanks everyone. I have worked on a lot of these tips, and I will add a video of my new swing now.

I swung very similiar to yours in high school. The problem is that a flat swing relies entirely on timing of the hips. When your timing is on...its great and you can shoot low like you said. Quick tips to fix this...flilm yourself and make sure your club is over top of your left shoulder. Next in your backswing, at the 3/4 swing position, feel as if the club is pointing straight to the sky. It will not actually be pointing straight up but it will help get the club back on plane a bit.

Sorry Soonerball09 I'm a 14 handicap must have been a typing error. Thanks for the advice I was told about my hips movement a few times but don't know how to fix it. I find when I turn my hips everything goes together and there is no coil there, any tips on hip turn?

@eddiebutt1 How are you a +4? I looked at your swing--no offense, but you have to have an extremely solid long game also to be a +4..

pretty good..swinging club a little bit far behind you before cocking your wrists .your practise waggle and actual swing are on very different trajectories if that means anything.take a look at steve banns videos for help.he coaches kj choi.

I too have a flat back swing, it looks wrong on video. I tried hitting it the pretty way more upright that looks good on camera like Adam Scott but I end up with a slice, ur bad shot is probably a hook. I hit it normally 270 to 327 yards with a flat back swing (in Irish weather) with a draw, my bad shot is a hook, all about timing, razor sharp short game and putting.. I'm a +4

Hey dnt worry about your swing. im a scratch golfer and swing almost identical to you. Look at the pros who swing different. Fowler, Furyk. Gainey. its what works for you. I would suggest you to work on distance control first. have 3 evenly gapped wedges in your bag. BUT most important work on your putting. find one that suits and stick with it no matter what.

Who cares? Hogan's swing was flat, and he was the greatest ball striker in history.

U hit the ball alright just by seeing u I think u can shoot alright. Iam also flat but I can score in tournament golf in school so what ever works in pressure play that.

downswing plane is the key, not backswing. You might shorten the backswing a bit though. It is way too long for an iron.
