Thanks, I'm searching for it now! I have fought coming over the top for a while, and then I feel in the second swing like Im fighting off an inside pitch (if anyone has ever played baseball) because I'm trying so hard.
Also I do feel that my lower body is quiet, but I am scared of turning out too soon
Some improvement s I have made is less flex in my knees and less "head drop"
@eaalto
Its a Vr Driver with a voodoo shaft, not to sure what the flex but I wanna say its Reg
I have golf shoes, AM1 were a surprise trip to the range LOL

that shaft is too fimsy for you.. definantly get a stiff flex... on the 2nd swing, you are coming out of your shot.. that is something you want work on rotating around your spine, not moving away from the ball.. some ppl move away, some ppl move to the ball (Barkley is the worst case seneiro.)
look at Freddie's Swing, notice two things that you could work on looking at his swing.
1.) he starts his swing with his lower body.
2.) he swing around his spine. keeping the same level with his head.
thanks...
"you are coming out of your shot"
lower body? hips?
things i noticed right away in the vid is how straight up he is throughout his swing, i have a tendency to bend in an athletic position
my goal is to get an Ernie Els type swing off the tee

Ready golf. If you want something practical, just slow your swing speed down and focus on having a calm and even tempo. Once you have grooved a reliable and consistent swing, then you can start to amp up the speed if necessary. Straight and down the middle will give you better results than scattered in the trees/rough/etc. 1-2 practice swings at best. Create a pre-shot routine that you execute on every shot if you want to have more consistency.
But really, there is nothing more irritating than a golfer who takes 50 warm up swings before every shot.

Na man, lol...no way I'd tell someone to do that on their practice swings.. I meant on the Range before a round.... not before each shot... talk about a 5 hour round..
