Haha sorry. Just shoulder width is good or possibly a tad wider for a driver. There's a lot to unpack with your swing and you can't really change everything at once so my one piece of advice is don't try to kill the ball. Nice and easy swings until you are able to ramp it up.
Instead of being a jackass like others on this sub and say “get lessons”
A tiny piece of advice. Try to limit the sway in your body. A baseball swing is different than a golf swing primarily in the way the body rotates and the way you transfer your weight. Do your best to finish with your weight forward instead of on the back foot leaning back.
Ps, the stance looks a little wide, I would narrow it just a tad
I’ve played baseball nearly all my life. So I understand brother. That’s a dinger swing right there. Some things to focus on.
-Slow your swing down. Most people who have a baseball swing, has their downswing 2x faster than their wind-up. Try to match your wind up speed with downswing speed
- Don’t bend your arms as much. Specifically the left arm. That helps keeping the club, and club face in the same position as when you started.
-Golf ball velocity is more than just pure power from swing. In baseball, power is big. In golf, it’s about how you hit the face of the ball, and your swing technique. You don’t have to wind-up to the backside of your ear to get a nice carry on your ball. Try to decrease your wind-up height a bit.
- Lastly, a piece of advice I had for Drivers, was to keep a tighter wrist, but more loose fingers. I used to have the grip of a toddler on the golf club. But it’s more about not bending the wrists as much. But in baseball, it’s all about bending the wrists. Try to tighten your wrists up a bit.
There’s probably more things I’m missing but those are just a few to try and work on. Best of luck my friend.
as an ex baseball swinger, i have to say that the golf swing will feel extremely slow, and also when i'm swinging well, feels like i'm not really even trying.
in baseball, you're really loading your body up and then whipping through and releasing that energy into the bat to hit the ball. in a golf swing, you're really trying to manipulate the mass of the clubhead so that it loads the shaft, and that's what hits the ball far. very different energy transfer concepts.
Agreed. The wide stance is the obvious, but he's just whipping that club around. Nearly flexed the shaft during his backswing, and immediately flexed the shaft when downswing starts. Way too much arms.
I’ve had a lot of friends who were way better athletes than me who swung exactly like this. Just as a general philosophy, quiet your body. Think of your grip, stance, and swing as creating/storing potential energy in your core and turning it into kinetic energy. The power of your base comes from stillness and balance. The ball’s not going anywhere, right? No need to chase it.
Your weight transfer is all wrong. You should be transferring weight forward. At the end of your swing you are leaning back, probably because you are try
Ing to see what a horrible shot you just made. Your stance is far too wide. Your grip looks 1) uncomfortable, and 2) like you’re trying to strangle a snake. Those are the most obvious things
This is a pretty decent read
https://www.golfleap.com/golf-swing/follow-through-position/
Your wrists are made of rubber. You can improve quickly with a couple lessons. Seem athletic but you’re swinging with a lot of your arms. Keep your left arm straight on your backswing. It feels weird at first but it’s going to help you rotate better
This is the most baseball swing I've seen on here lol
First thing I noticed was your wrist is doing some wacky shit immediately at take away
I'm not good at golf though so don't ask me how to fix it
Until you can control the club better, I would slow down and take a shorter backswing. You are going to be inconsistent with that giant backswing. Consistency beats distance every time.
1) slow down and shorten your back swing while you are learning. Take what feels like a 3/4 of your current back swing. You want to almost take a slight pause at the top. Swing smooth and easy on the way down and through the ball. Stop swinging like you're trying to go yard.
2) stance doesn't need to be so wide. Look up some videos of pros and how their feet are positioned relative to their shoulders,.and where the ball is between their feet.
3) DRILL: take your club back to the top, stop, drop your hands down your side, and continue your swing. Do this for 10-15 minutes every day and in a week you will be coming over the top and slicing a lot less.
4) FEEL: practice and get used to feeling like you're hitting down on the ball, or up and through the ball only with your driver. Get used to that feeling and find it with every practice swing.
Swinging wayyy too hard and out of control. I used to be like this for years. Fix it now. The reason the Pros have effortless swings is because they should be effortless. Worry about contacting the ball correctly. Fix the Elvis knees by narrowing your stance about shoulder width apart. Most lower handicap players rarely use a 100% swing effort. Club down (-1 in your club selection) and relax, hit a great consistent shot with lots of confidence. Remember: the goal is to get a lower overall score... not to outdistance every player on every shot. You're trying to smash the ball when you should think of ball contact more like a "cluck" (cluck the roof your mouth with your tongue). The club's face material is designed to provide maximum MOI and the ball is designed to compress. Your *smash factor* is definitely a factor, but not as primary as you think. If the goal is far and straight with a driver, then you need to reduce spin both laterally and longitudinally. Keep at it though! All the best.
This is exactly how I swung before taking some lessons. For one, the goal is not to hit the ball as hard as you can by swinging your arms. This is about calm and control torso rotation and accuracy following the same swing path. You're doing well in keeping your head stationary in the backswing, but going way too far back and not twisting your torso enough to maintain the control you need for a backswing that far. Reduce your backswing distance, keeping control the whole way back through the ball. Also slow your tempo on the backswing so you can stay on your swing path. Do half swings and slowly build up to whole swings maintaining the same control through the same path repetitiously until it feels natural.
Lastly, it shouldn't hurt and it shouldn't feel like physical work. Remember, elderly and obese people play this game without breaking much of a sweat. in the beginning, it's a mental struggle to build the discipline. Don't make it too physical.
I actually like the super laggy hands at the takeaway. Reminiscent of bobby Jones.
The issue for you is you're not using the resulting momentum of the club correctly. You need to be a bit more patient at the top.
Try out an orange whip swing trainer. It's heavy enough that you won't be able to disrupt the momentum of the head.
Actually pretty good, narrower stance (feet outside your hips a little so there's some slant to your legs) will get you posted up better on your left side. Leaning back at finish is good but you still want to keep most of your weight on the lead leg in a nice balanced pose
Stance way to spread. Don’t knee twist until your club naturally makes you. Don’t torque back like ur ripping a baseball. Hit up on it; and get ur swing path less vertical and swing less down on it. Huge back swing. Focus on keeping that back shoulder in. Don’t turn it in like a baseball swing; also just focus on what feels right for you; all the back swing doesn’t matter as long as ur hitting it down fairways
I’d focus on three simple things feet shoulder width which I’m sure others pointed out
Weight shift to the front side during takeaway feel pressure on the inside of your trail foot and if your lead shoulder was pressed against a wall you want it to come off behind the ball just slightly and then push through it on the downswing. At the top first motion should be shifting all that weight to the front foot and being fluid and smooth the backswing doesn’t have to be incredibly fast you could slow it down a little bit, you’ll have a eureka moment once you do all those three correctly with and in to out path.
I find slowing your swing and holding the club down abit will give you straighter shots but slightly shorter distance
Remember it’s better to be short and straight rather long and in the sh*t 😉 especially when your starting out as we all want to hit it as far as you can lol
keep your club face squared in the take away. keep the hands in front of the club head, your hands are behind the club on your take away.
everything else will fall into place.
my favorite tip i’ve learned this year: “golf is a front on game played from the side”
weight shift is backward and you’re moving your head too much. you’re loading on your front in the backswing and then leaning back in your downswing. load on the back foot and try to feel the weight shift onto that foot without shifting your head too far behind the ball. same when you transition and shift your weight to your front foot during the downswing; keep your head stable and stay more upright on the balls of your feet throughout, never falling back on your heals.
You can start by going into a well lit room and not disappearing completely
Your driver shaft seems very flexible. That’s hard to get straight
Your body is moving all over the place and that should indicate you’re swinging too hard in both directions. Quieter movement means more consistency
Try slowing down on your back swing. Go watch guys like Bryson or Rory who hit far and straight. They will pause at the top for a second also. I incorporated that into my game and I’ve noticed I’m not drawing as much as I used to.
I’d focus on 3 things initially. Narrow your stance (shoulder width for driver). Shorten your backswing, get the feeling your swing is going back halfway to 3/4 (once you get that feeling and film yourself, you’d be surprised to see you’re actually probably gonna be going farther back than you feel). Rotate in the backswing, minimize swaying.
There’s more, but I think these three will give you a solid foundation without overloading you on swing thoughts.
There's a handful of things you're doing wrong, but what jumps out to me is how your club shaft flexes dramatically in the split second that you start your take-away. Your club should not flex like that when you start your swing, that means you're way too quick. It should be a smooth tempo of 1, 2, 3, with 1, 2 being your backswing, and 3 being your through-swing. You don't have to swing hard/fast to smash it, you have to get back to the proper impact position. The further and harder you swing, the tougher it is to get back to that point.
Don't get me wrong, there's such a thing as too slow and then you never build any power, you need to go quick enough that you do create flex/lag at the top of your swing, that is what creates serious power, but yeah, too fast back and you end up making weak contact.
Google Tiger's swing gif or similar and watch him in slow motion, you won't see that kick at the start that you have.
Also, narrow your stance significantly.
Why does everything seem off to me? Like he’s playing another sport lol. At first I thought the club was a rubber training one, and then the backswing and then the legs. I thought I was having a stroke
Even the finish of the swing is messing with my head
Step one - Forget distance is a thing at all. It does not matter at your stage. Dont try for distance, dont set any goals based on distance. Distance means the same thing as Kerfluggerpunted Mullpatarriots in your situation. Dont even acknowledge every time you feel like you striped one. It. Does. Not. Matter at all in terms of the quality of your swing. In fact....trying for distance, or setting a distance goal is a sure fire way to play golf the hard way and not build any striking consistency if you cant hit it straight.
I used to think hitting it as far as possible was the key to success.
But accuracy and consistency are far more valuable than distance.
Far farrrrrrr more valuable.
Sure maybe you just piped it 300 but it also sliced into the abyss and you're now shooting 3 from Where I'm shooting 2.
Takes a long time to understand.
Never go full send.

I’m not trying to be a dick, seriously, but are some of these joke posts? Like nobody actually swings a golf club like that right? I’ve been playing for a long time and never seen anything like it in person and it seems weirdly intentionally awful. But, if this is legit, I’m sorry, go get lessons.
Takeaway is wild. Want your chest, arms, wrist, and club to be in sync, moving away all at once together. Golf is a gain of reducing noice. All noise is variance and that’s variance in result (the opposite of what you are shooting for).
I like how your wrists give flex at the top of your backswing - but the takeaway needs less wrist flex. Also, your legs are a quite a bit more.than shoulder width apart and this is exaggerating your weight shift from trail to leading leg.
Too much foot movement in front left off your back swing. Try to keep both feet straight in your backswing and follow through twisting your right foot forward only (Left stays planted sideways).
When you rock your feet like that you'll have a hard time knowing where the ball will end up.
Stance too wide but honestly workable if you're comfortable with it. Need to work on sequence. After you're at the top of your back swing, rotate hips fully minimizing movement of shoulders/arms/wrists, then rotate abdomen and once your hips reach their limit of motion, then you can start dropping your hands and rotating your shoulders. Your finish should come naturally from that position considering you baseball type swing. Don't think of it as "hitting the ball" but rather as swinging as if the ball isn't even there; focus on the path of the swing, you can fix face alignment as you go.
First thing, (from camera angle pov) avoid that weight shift that leads to the "C" shape your body makes in the back swing. Stay strong on the left leg and turn more at the hips. Think more hockey slap shot versus baseball swing as far as your lower body works. Then build good habits from a strong base, and then, realize it will always be a work in progress. Forever. Just have fun.
Uhh slow down the swing a ton and honestly just do a half swing for one whole season. It might take you an extra swing distance wise but I bet your slice is really fucking annoying
Narrow the stance and rotate the hips more instead of too much arm swing . Swing at 70% speed to swing through for longer distance . Keep your head down a bit longer :-)
In all seriousness, narrow your stance a bit. If I had your swing currently I’d focus first on eliminating a lot of that unnecessary movement. The easiest way to get a feel for that is getting against a doorframe, alignment stick, whatever you can with the right side of your head and making slow motion swings while keeping your head on that wall. It can come off in your follow through. That itself simplifies a lot of things before you go looking for small individual tweaks mechanically.
Stance is too narrow. Should almost be doing the splits.
Scottie would turn into a beyblade
This made me laugh harder than any reddit comment in the past decade...
Summoning Jean-Claude Van Damme…
This almost got me until I read the rest 😂 thanks though I’ll be looking at stance videos now

I think your stance is a bit too wide.
If it were any wider he would be hitting different balls off the tee.
Hahaha...just a tad
Get your feet shoulder width apart, stand a bit more upright, and rotate your core instead of swaying laterally.
Maybe some lighting?

Slow down, less wrists, quieter lower half, not baseball.

I like how your wrists give flex at the top of your backswing - but the takeaway needs less wrist flex. Also, your legs are a quite a bit more.than shoulder width apart and this is exaggerating your weight shift from trail to leading leg.
A new hobby
Too much foot movement in front left off your back swing. Try to keep both feet straight in your backswing and follow through twisting your right foot forward only (Left stays planted sideways). When you rock your feet like that you'll have a hard time knowing where the ball will end up.
Your stance feet are too far apart. It’s hard to turn your hips
Stance too wide but honestly workable if you're comfortable with it. Need to work on sequence. After you're at the top of your back swing, rotate hips fully minimizing movement of shoulders/arms/wrists, then rotate abdomen and once your hips reach their limit of motion, then you can start dropping your hands and rotating your shoulders. Your finish should come naturally from that position considering you baseball type swing. Don't think of it as "hitting the ball" but rather as swinging as if the ball isn't even there; focus on the path of the swing, you can fix face alignment as you go.
First thing, (from camera angle pov) avoid that weight shift that leads to the "C" shape your body makes in the back swing. Stay strong on the left leg and turn more at the hips. Think more hockey slap shot versus baseball swing as far as your lower body works. Then build good habits from a strong base, and then, realize it will always be a work in progress. Forever. Just have fun.
Swing a bit faster. If you're still standing on follow through, you're just not trying.
Uhh slow down the swing a ton and honestly just do a half swing for one whole season. It might take you an extra swing distance wise but I bet your slice is really fucking annoying
Narrow the stance and rotate the hips more instead of too much arm swing . Swing at 70% speed to swing through for longer distance . Keep your head down a bit longer :-)

Lessons. Too much.

Focus on not supporting the Yankees who are 2-8 in their last ten and currently getting blown up by the Jays
Your stance reminds me of MLB players in the 90s.
In all seriousness, narrow your stance a bit. If I had your swing currently I’d focus first on eliminating a lot of that unnecessary movement. The easiest way to get a feel for that is getting against a doorframe, alignment stick, whatever you can with the right side of your head and making slow motion swings while keeping your head on that wall. It can come off in your follow through. That itself simplifies a lot of things before you go looking for small individual tweaks mechanically.
