A closer look at Adam Scott's iron tee shot at Crowne Plaza

u/TacticalYeeter 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “6 iron and driver. Critique me, I comment on here all the time.”

Face really open really late [preview.redd.it] This causes your body stall and the cast to square it. Start turning the face down while you release and it'll change your ball striking massively. ▶ this video Watch how the toe rotates down closed here: ▶ this video

▶ this video This is one the purest golf swings in the game. When I am looking at what a perfect swing should look like, this is what I picture. Now only one person has that swing (Adam) but the mechanics of it are able to be translated to your game. Look I play with anyone from scratch to 30+HC and everyone’s swing is unique. You gotta find what feels athletic and gives you good results. One of my friends is a …

I do have to agree with everyone when it comes to your shaft. On a swing note, you really arent generating much power. Your swing is pretty short and you arent turning much. Check this swing out ▶ this video This pro is much more turned then you are and thus able to generate more power. For the driver, you dont need anything state of the art, just make sure you get a stiff mid weight shaft, that will also help.

Nice swing. I notice your head/body drops during the down swing and comes back up - I do that too and have been trying to minimize that. Whenever I look at pro swings I’m always amazed at how insanely stable their heads are through the swing and how much their bodies still torque to generate so much power - like this swing: ▶ this video

u/gaffs82 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “Trying to fight a reverse pivot/high hands. Big miss is a snap hook. Any tips/advice?”

Without being rude, there are a lot of issues here. You are sucking the club around on the inside, getting to the top and then coming down so steep. Look at the club - it’s almost vertical. That causes a massive amount of early extension. I mean, look at how your butt is close to the palm tree at setup then a mile away at impact. You’re clearly athletic, with speed and can probably hit some good shots but I bet with …

Adam Scott absolutely stands farther away than OP. Which allows Adam Scott to start with weight in balls of his feet & have a solid 10-15⁰ flatter spine angle at address. The difference in hip bend and spine angle are very noticeable: ▶ this video

▶ this video Watch his clubface here from p6 to impact. You'll see the toe really start turning through and catching up with the heel. Post impact they have the toe passing the heel pretty fast and that's after hitting a ball and the ground which stalls the face. They're cranking the grip and face around and releasing it a lot. That's the difference. This allows you to rotate the body, keep lag naturally and deloft …

u/texasbill14 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “Why do I suck? What handicap do you think I should be? I feel like my swing is better than my play but hit me ”

[preview.redd.it] It's fundamentally about this position in the downswing. You have great things happening with the swing, but look at your shaft position here. Steep, and if you draw a line down the shaft, it's inside the ball. This really starts at the top of the swing. Your hands are so far behind your body and laid off (clubhead pointing up) that you have to aggressively pull on the handle in the downswing to …

Look up Adam Scott. Pause in the backswing, once when the club head is even with the waist and then again at the top. ▶ this video

u/michaelandrew20 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “All feedback appreciated”

Early extension can get a bit better if you try to “roll” your trail foot inwards instead of lifting it forwards. This won’t completely fix it but a tiny bit of early extension isn’t the worst thing. Ideally you want your trail foot to be close to completely on the ground at impact. Try to think about your trail knee moving inwards towards your other knee instead of towards the ball. A good swing to look at to …

u/FatalFirecrotch 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Swing update. Struggling and need help!”

One thing that sticks out to me is your left elbow on your backswing. It’s not really folding up/bending, it’s more just going behind you so your club is really behind you at the top and your right arm is pinned across your chest instead of away from your body. When you are that deep, the timing of the transition can get rough. Here’s Adam Scott’s swing to see what I am talking about. ▶ this video
