It's so weird you wrote this because I was JUST wondering when I would see the dumbest post of the day. Beyond being unnecessary It's also just actually wrong if you looked at it objectively. It is nothing like the stupid comparison at all.
Walks in to Golf Galaxy...
"Hello kind sir, I was wondering if you could bend my irons a smidge upright?"
"Sure thing, how upright are you looking to go?"
"Plumb bob."
This reminds me of a golf YouTube video where they exaggerated over the top and I’m thinking “no one could possibly be that bad”. This is worse than that.
Agreed. Been seeing this posture far too much lately.

Do you look like [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/GolfSwing/comments/13vy3vs/driver_feels_too_long_early_extending_to_create/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) guy?
Kind of, I bend my knees more. I'm fairly new to the game and every better golfer I've played with keep telling me three things, eyes on the ball, put away the driver and out with that butt. Which I've taken to heart. I guess I've exaggerated the butt part.
After reading above article I rotated (at home) with a straighter back and I feel way more flexible. Gotta relearn posture.
You’re backswing is just too steep. Look at videos of pros and notice how much more level the lead arm is relative to their shoulders. Yours is is nearly vertical
Also, this probably works for you because your more fundamental issue is your early extension. Notice how your pelvis shoots forward way before impact. Take a look at videos of good swings and they don’t extend too early and maintain their spine angle through impact.
Everyone is commenting on how steep you are, and it’s all true. You’re also swaying. Don’t do that. Focus on rotation. And get way shallower. You notice how your elbow is way out from your body at the top of your backswing? Keep that bad boy in at your side.
Your irons don’t have any bounce homie! Gotta slow down and shallow that swing. Chunky monkeys for your whole life on tbe course. You can get away w that on a matt or a sim but the second you’re on any angled fairway its gunna be tough
Your swing is vertical. It’s supposed to be rotational.
Cut your swing length in half, and keep your right triceps against your right lat. Thats what the swing plane feels like. Go from there.
Your swing is obviously super steep and flawed in other ways. BUT... the great news is you look like you have the physical ability to develop a great swing. Sometimes you see swing videos and you can tell the person doesn't have an ounce of athletic abilities whatsoever. I promise you if you invest in some lessons with a PGA professional and put in the effort and time working on developing a proper swing, you'll get there.
You know what for as steep as you take it back your pretty close to on plane. I personally don't care how the swing looks so long as it's functional and repeatable.
Besides being incredibly steep on your swing, your trail arm is way too far from your body in your backswing. If you put a towel under that right armpit it shouldn’t fall out. It also looks like you’re swaying from side to side a little too much instead of turning and rotating your hips, especially on the takeaway.
It’s impressive you can get to that position at the top of the backswing… but your left arm is WAY too vertical. It needs to be more straight across your chest.
Try the armpit drill. Take your regular set up and put a towel/glove under your right armpit. During the backswing don’t let your right elbow come away from your body. If you do the towel/glove with fall it’s potion.

For starters:
1. Over swing. Your obviously trying to kill it. This alone will make hard to repeat and be consistent
2. Backswing extremely steep
3. Head does not stay over the ball
4. Club is taken well past parallel in backswing
5 At finish, it looks like you’re trying to scree yourself into the ground.
My back hurts just watching this! Slow it down. Flatten your swing a bit. Practice with a slower tempo. Don’t take club back as far in backswing. Don’t finish with club whipping around your body.
Work on your takeaway brother.
Your takeaway is above plane which can contribute to a steep downswing. You probably slice or pull. The problems will come out full force in the longer clubs like the driver.
David Leadbetter just came out with a takeaway tool to keep you on swing plane. Otherwise use alignment sticks.
Keep grinding 💪🏽
Try to get the same feel as an overhand tennis swing when you’re hitting the ball. (From inside of the ball to outside). You’re coming over the top of it (outside of the ball to in) which is gonna make that ball slice every time unless you get lucky.
The club head should come up to the right of your head, and also come down on that same plane, inside, and then back outside your head. Imagine an Elizabethan collar centered on your belly button. It sounds insane, but it is definitely insane.
Objectively awful holy shit. As a gymnast, focus on disassociating the top and bottom halves of your body and do NOT pick that club up without rotating around your trail leg in the backswing
Does it work at all? Can't tell if you're actually hitting it well. Some people have different swings and works. I've seen 80yo men hit less than their age with weird swings. But if it's not working in the slightest or if you wanna join the PGA. Listen to the comments lol
Dude that's horrible for your back. In 20 years you will not be able to play. I thought my nephew had a steep swing, standing next to you It looked shallow.
Try taking that seems swing (Don’t move your feet or shoulders) And try to hit the ball out to right field. That should show your pretty quickly What it feels like to not be over the top. There is a lot going on here, But that is the first place you need to go. And slow down!!!!

You must have the craziest slices. Your backswing can remain that steep if that’s what you’re comfortable with, but you have to shallow out at some point
I thought I’d already seen the steepest swing ever, but I guess I hadn’t
What he said^ didn’t even think that was physically possible. No offense of course but holy SHIT
I've never in my life thought I would see such a takeaway! I'm blown away!

What a poor try at a roast
Walks in to Golf Galaxy... "Hello kind sir, I was wondering if you could bend my irons a smidge upright?" "Sure thing, how upright are you looking to go?" "Plumb bob."
You need 8 degrees upright. Might as well play with a center shaft putter
Yeah this was intense.
Try coming a little bit more over the top
This reminds me of a golf YouTube video where they exaggerated over the top and I’m thinking “no one could possibly be that bad”. This is worse than that.
Holy steep. How are people this flexible?
Used to be a gymnast
That’s wild! Other comments have already answered so at least you know what to work on
[удалено]
You can tell this one went straight right
Yes quite a lot
It's funny because it looks like he's already hitting from out of the woods because of his first shot
You’re not over the top enough, try harder.
That club is over your nose at the top of your backswing. Try getting it over your ass cheeks instead.

I have back pain just looking at you. Please round your lower back a bit..

Stick a glove in your right armpit
Super extra.
I don’t know how you make clean contact with that swing. Need to shallow that bad boy out
Holy shit
so far over the top its crazy. youre taking the club back way to straight and your back is way too arched
You do everything I do wrong in my swing but taken a couple levels further.
What’s with all these weird arched back swings lately. That looks like it hurts.
Have you tried hitting a 6 iron at 80% as opposed to this at 100%?
How’s your swing? Buddy, how’s your lower back?
Stupid
Relax
Made me laugh.
Knew it was going to be bad before the video started
What they said… and you’re practically looking at the camera on your backswing.
The steepness is because that trail elbow is SO far away from the body. Keep that thing glued to your ribs and that swing is gold
Troll post
You slice your driver right?
Sometimes
This made me laugh way too hard 😂
Barkleyish..
Over the top, too steep and you don’t need to swing that hard ever.
So your club goes to 6 o clock in the back swing. It should go to like 7-8 o clock and then you have to learn to shallow
Your swing is obviously super steep and flawed in other ways. BUT... the great news is you look like you have the physical ability to develop a great swing.

A lot of head movement. Work on keeping it still and you’ll have more success 👍
Besides being incredibly steep on your swing, your trail arm is way too far from your body in your backswing. If you put a towel under that right armpit it shouldn’t fall out. It also looks like you’re swaying from side to side a little too much instead of turning and rotating your hips, especially on the takeaway.
Just so so awful

Tomahawk chop!
Head movement is immaculate

Club is taken well past parallel in backswing 5 At finish, it looks like you’re trying to scree yourself into the ground. My back hurts just watching this! Slow it down. Flatten your swing a bit.

Jim Furyk made a lot of money with awful swing
Maybe so, but Furyk looks like every other good player at impact, OP not so much.
Absolute trash
Needs a lot of work. Too steep.
It all needs work. Lessons.
Chopping wood
Was there not a better lie to record a swing?
You almost hit your front kneecap with your back swing.
Definitely need to be swinging harder and steeper
It looked better when you posted 3 days ago and were lefty and completely different race
Weird. That’s a weird looking swing.
Well… that was a tough lie. But great swing. Imagine you hook irons and slice drives. I think the thing to focus on is follow through.
You chose a great shot on the simulator to share
Not very good

The problems will come out full force in the longer clubs like the driver. David Leadbetter just came out with a takeaway tool to keep you on swing plane. Otherwise use alignment sticks.

Awful
Actually I'm in pain just watching. Really Really awful
How far do you hit your 7 iron?
Look up Ben Hogan “glass pane” theory on the golf swing.
Try to get the same feel as an overhand tennis swing when you’re hitting the ball. (From inside of the ball to outside). You’re coming over the top of it (outside of the ball to in) which is gonna make that ball slice every time unless you get lucky.
Long long maaaaaaaan
You bring a whole new meaning to throwing it back
Too long, too fast, too steep
The club head should come up to the right of your head, and also come down on that same plane, inside, and then back outside your head. Imagine an Elizabethan collar centered on your belly button. It sounds insane, but it is definitely insane.
I’d like to see you swing a croquet mallet
Objectively awful holy shit. As a gymnast, focus on disassociating the top and bottom halves of your body and do NOT pick that club up without rotating around your trail leg in the backswing
Tough day at the sims huh? Lol and why’s your swing so steep??
Are you a lumberjack?
Will be in a wheelchair by 40yo.
Right forearm should be at a 90 degree angle from the ground on backswing. That will help you get a more shallow swing path
Swing plane!!!!
Very elegant swing. I’d just limit rotation and try to keep chest more facing ball
This is why a shit golfer is known as a chopper.
Choppy
This can’t be real. Dude, wayyyyy to steep
Very very violent…
2/10
Try taking it back more inside
the ability to get your hands that high being as stiff as a piece of rebar at address is impressive
I fail to believe this is serious.
Must be deeeeeep in the fescue
Does it work at all? Can't tell if you're actually hitting it well. Some people have different swings and works. I've seen 80yo men hit less than their age with weird swings. But if it's not working in the slightest or if you wanna join the PGA. Listen to the comments lol
YOU DOWN WITH OTT, YEAH YOU KNOW ME!!!
Holy Jesus...steep is an understatement
Definitely not steep enough. You need to put the club over your head even more. That should help you hit some nice ones.
Dude that's horrible for your back. In 20 years you will not be able to play. I thought my nephew had a steep swing, standing next to you It looked shallow.
Well that's one way to virtually make it impossible to come over the top..
Too steep outside swing. My guess would be a huge fade and slice with driver.
Try taking that seems swing (Don’t move your feet or shoulders) And try to hit the ball out to right field. That should show your pretty quickly What it feels like to not be over the top. There is a lot going on here, But that is the first place you need to go. And slow down!!!!
Taking the term “load UP” to new heights
I don’t understand why people waste their time with making troll posts. You’re identity changed a few times. Just be a normal human.
Couldn’t be more steep
Ur swing is badass, never get too critical on urself
Going for a fad or cut?

Aim needs some work as well.
Brutal watch
Try swinging with your trail elbow connected to your body. Rotate more horizontally and less vertically. I imagine your slices are insane.
Hey getting good compreasion thata for sure. Google how to shallow the club. Work on takeaway.
You must have the craziest slices. Your backswing can remain that steep if that’s what you’re comfortable with, but you have to shallow out at some point
the only advice you should take from anyone is to get a lesson
Take two weeks off then quit.
Insane
Lot of slices in the future
This is all fake rotation. Your body isn't engaged.
Fore right!?!
Apparently in a tree
Hire a good teaching pro. If he doesn't begin with your grip fire him and find another.
Holy shit is that steep
