Hey guys... apologize in advance if this is a bit of a lazy post by just putting a link of my Trackman info but I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback..

Kind of at a point in my game where I don't really feel like altering my swing much anymore, I can hit it far enough where I don't need major tweaks, and I'm comfortable with my swing although it def is a little funky..

I've had this swing pretty much my whole career with minor adjustments, only 2 lessons and both times not much help, just said I was good.

I'm a 6 currently, was down to a 5... I could probably get lower but I have trouble lag putting, and my chipping is really bad.. I'm about an 18 handicap according to my arccos app with my chips.. but just looking for a little feedback mostly for Driver/longer irons as that is where my shot shape tends to leak right bad.

Trackman Data

This is what I do know about my swing.

I almost always hit a slicey/fade.. I feel like I'm very outside to in and I am having a real hard time swinging inside to out... A draw is almost impossible for me, years ago I was predominately drawing my drives but I can't for the life of me now.

I have recently been working on my finish being a little flatter and to left field and I was thinking that was helping me straighten it out but its hard for me to swing inside to out that way.

I try to skip the rock on the downswing and I have been trying to keep my elbows in, esp my right elbow under my left and also my arms very tight to my body and that has helped a little.

I also found today that looking at the inside of the ball at my impact helps keep it from going to far out to in.. I'm also trying to hit in between the ball and my feet so I don't come across it.

I do like playing a fade. esp with my short irons, I'm kind of wondering if maybe I should just embrace swinging a few degrees out to in. I don't mind 1-2 degrees out to in, is it that big a deal to try to have a straight swing path?

Also I have no idea how to get my attack angle + with my driver.. My ball basically backspins on the course.. I do usually tee it pretty low, I also hover at address but even if I tee it high I still find myself hitting down most drives.

I'm not a Trackman expert at all. Probably need Nitbo or Mr Fawcett to chime in, but here are my observations:

-You're clubhead speed is awesome, just need to get the smash factor up.
-It looks like a lot of spin with the driver. I'm not sure, but a club that fits better may help get it down.
-With your clubhead speed if you get the smash factor up and the spin rate down you will be absolutely bombing it....
-Hitting up on the ball will probably help with launching it higher with less spin. But I'm not sure its worth messing with your swing too much to try to fix it. I would just check your ball position with the driver and possibly move it forward and definitely look at teeing it a little higher if you say you tend to tee it low.

But again, this calls for an expert and I probably know just enough to be dangerous... My course is getting a Trackman that I'll be able to use indoors over the winter. I look forward to trying to improve my numbers. Now that these things are becoming more common we should probably have a Trackman numbers thread.

Thanks for the feedback... I am aware my dynamic loft is bad for almost all of my clubs which causes major spin.

I'm a very high hitter, I even have adjusted my driver to a 6.5/7 degree for a few seasons and still doesn't help much with lowering my spin.. currently playing a 9.

I've worked on lowering my dynamic loft with my local pro on the trackman in the beginning of last season and when I went out to play afterwards it was a disaster and I went back to my old swing
