6 Iron Golf Swing Part 1

Straightened my back/spine and head at address. Swinging with a very short backswing. Still trying to get more shoulder turn. Any advice?

All I know is your spine should be roughly 33 degrees you look too bent over I had the same problem I have more balance now that I;m more upright short is good if you can control where the ball goes, have a look at mine I am having problems with the take away any advice

You don't bring your club back very far. The highest point on your swing is on second 2, and your club is straight up. I'm not in the position to give advice myself, as I'm not great, but yeah... Also, watch my video, and critique, make fun of, ridicule. Whatever you like.

here's the tip:

distance = faster downswing(not all the way from the top) + hit DOWN!

slow down the upward swing, you dont get the distance nor the power from there, focus on the down position. it works for me.

short backswing reduces margin for error. You can be long and short of parallel. adam scott is short of parallel. The key is tempo, you seem a little quick on your tempo. you lose power by being so quick on the downswing.

a longer backswing with the small control u are exhibiting with your short swing = more distance

[dudewheresmybeer]

Try standing a little taller, you're a bit too bent over which puts all your weight on the front of your feet. If you stand taller and try to get your weight on your heels it will free up your shoulders a bit allowing you to turn more without knocking your head off the ball. Also, like the others have said, short and powerful is always better than long and lazy.

I agree on this: "nothing wrong with that. better to be short and controlled like he is than long and well....you've seen what john daly is like. thats a nice swing a little slower back maybe with more rhythm but you accelerate throught the ball well"

[polysquared]

There is nothing wrong with a short back swing.

I am by no mean any Leadbetter but on YouTube I feel everyone has the right to speak =)

I think your swing is short, well-balanced but maybe a bit to fast at the top switching downwards. I would recommend you to either stand closer to the ball, stand more upright or get yourself shorter golf clubs (or all of these three). That would enable you to get a more desirable broad arch to your swing making it easier to transfer power from the weight of your body to the ball.
