For this thread post your "opposite" swing, so if you're a righty, post a swing of yourself lefty. Try to swing as fast as you would normally from your usual side.

Here's Erik and I swinging lefty.  Might be tough to see in high speed but Erik is swinging at a pretty good speed here.  I'm a bit slower If you don't have a lefty or righty club, just flip a wedge over like Erik and I are doing here.

I'll film one at my next range session if I remember. I won't try it in the basement as I'd probably break a couple lamps and put a hole in the drywall if I tried :-P

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Conspiracy!!!  It looks to me like it say "TIXE" over that door in the background.  Why would that be???  ;)  I'm suspicious that you guys borrowed somebody's left handed wedge, flipped it over, hit it right handed, then flipped the video over.

Obviously, I'm just kidding, as I am jealous of how good your "opposite" swings are (mostly Erik's - no offense Mike!).  Can't wait to film myself next time at the range and post it here. :)  This thread is going to be mostly hilarious!

I just tried a practice swing in my basement, took me about 7 minutes to figure out how to grip the club LOL. Had to go back and forth a few times to get it remotely like a proper overlap. I'll definitely post one from my next range session. Can't be much worse than my regular swing

Driver LH!  You win! c2_beer.gif I'm afraid I will shank it and kill someone if I try this at the range.

Lol. Yeah me too, scared I'll hit it about 18" fat and snap the sucker in half. The fact that it's upside down does not inspire confidence. :-P

Yeah no offense taken, Erik's lefty swing is really good, seriously think he should get a lefty set and see what he can do.

Doesn't look nearly as goofy as it felt ...

And perhaps I need to work a little bit on my balance ...

And if the video is too shaky, it's cuz the wife was laughing at me while filming. :)

It's also done at about 21 MPH. I guess I'm proud of the fact that my swings are done with SPEED. Dave's… not so much.

Anyway, c'mon guys, let's get some more updates! Where are your swings?!?! :)

I was gonna record one yesterday but my camera battery died. I tried a few just for kicks and man was that ugly LOL. I'll record one at my next range session for sure.

    • Neither is the CRNA….🙂
    • Day 107 (29 Mar 24) a drier backyard made for some wedge work in the backyard. Used the 58* to work on engaging the bounce and hitting easy pitches.  
    • Day 120- Short, slow swings with short practice club. 
    • Day 34: 3/29/2024 So, I forgot to post yesterday.  Today was a mirror day. First putting mirror. I used the 50mm gate a lot and the perfect putt.  Then the big basement mirrors. Backswing work. Most of it without a club. But I also got some use out of the piece of pvc and the club across the shoulders. I finished with a 7 iron. 
    • OK, I'm off & Running.  Signed up for Evolvr earlier today and will post shortly.  Below are 2 swings.  The 1st is basically my normal swing.  the 2nd is when "Hunch Up".  That 2nd shot had better contact then usually when I do that.  I really wish I would stop doing that! I could not get the "Caddy View" because there were metal grates between that would have blocked view.  I'll need to find a different range next time. I see a lot I do not like in both (Including the hair)  I look forward to hearing the comments but what I see is:  Right arm collapses against my side on the back swing The club seems to be moving back, toward my butt, and I think it should be more forward when it is pointed to the camara.  But of course I have no skill in analyzing a swing.
