i know i should try to post some sort of video, but i feel as though i would be totally embarrassed and humiliated at this stage of my new swing, as there seems to be an unforgiving and fanatical segment lurking here on the forum , accusing me of different user names.

Fine, then post some recent scores. If your swing is now "automatic" then your scores should be much improved (like mid-70's).

I don't understand why you would be embarrassed posting your swing. Many of the people posting in this thread share their swings. You said you've "found the secret", here's an opportunity to prove it.

If he keeps making vague posts like this, will he foul out or can he just keep swinging and missing? 

As long as it's here in this thread… I don't think we care much.

hi iacas- people here think that i have found the perfect swing and can shoot in the 70:s, so they say why am i not game to post it on video?

i will tell you why- i have not found the perfect swing at all.

one thing i can rest easy with is that at least i am trying to solve an elusive riddle without following mainstream hysteria.

you know and i know that my posts can seem a bit hit and miss ,but at least i appreciate that you always comment on their authenticity. that makes me actually think about the feedback and try to question my own hypotheses.

anyway, i have an absolute eye opener of a discovery today for you to digest.

it involves the grip- the palms of the hands should be totally facing each other.ok, the only way you can appreciate this is if you are a hacker, is to just join your hands together without a club, and then do a setup as per normal.

when you join the hands, make sure that they are totally clasped together .

that is what you want to achieve in a normal golf set up with the BACK of the palms parallel.

then all you do and this is paramount ,you MUST push down your left shoulder- it will automatically get into a "grooved" position on the backswing, but because your right palm is in the correct position, the takeaway is almost guaranteed.

by the way, i think the fact that golf grips/shafts are tapered ,just adds to the complexity of such a necessary, simplistic approach.

sometimes i think my talents are wasted .

the trouble is that if i 'crack" all this golfing diatribe and end up writing my own book, then there are not going to be too many happy authors out there.

 

 

 

 

 

I routinely troll and make things up. Please use my posts for your own amusement, and little else.

Call me a kid, but I like pictures in my books.

By the way. I got really excited for a moment when I thought the real MythBusters joined TST. My bruv and I watch the show. They could probably use their super-slow motion cameras to capture that swing frame by frame.

@boogielicious is probably right. Time to put this one to sleep. I just couldn't resist one more.

A video log of you playing a full round would be good enough to show you shoot in the 70s.

One can purchase less tapered grips or build up the grip in the lower hand so it does not taper.

Mental illness isn't something to take lightly. Mythbuster, I hope you will consider seeking some help if you haven't already. I'm afraid we have only encouraged you to display your obvious personality disorder and for that I apologize. I don't take your issue as a joke and wish you the best. But please, speak to friends, family or any other support system and please find a counselor. You can beat this, but you have to be willing to accept some assistance.

Oh, I think he needs to learn to listen, view, and learn instead of spouting discoveries.

Otherwise, I think you are on to something... ego, etc.

There is no mainstream hysteria here. You've completely misread your audience.

I haven't seen a hit yet.

I'm not moving on. I still want to see pictures of this setup. I've asked you to do a few things, and you've still yet to do any of them:

  • Quote the people to whom you're responding.
  • Post pictures.
  • Post videos.
  • Define the words you're using, or use words that have one common definition as it pertains to the golf swing.

You've once again failed to do any of those things.

10 hours ago, mythbuster said:

I disagree. Many, many good players don't have the back of their palms parallel. Those with strong left-hand grips, for example, often have them 20+° away from parallel.

No, it isn't.

Poppycock.

I'm giving you a warning for your last post. You will continue to get warnings until you:

  • Quote the people to whom you're responding.
  • Post pictures.
  • Post videos.
  • Define the words you're using, or use words that have one common definition as it pertains to the golf swing.

It's that simple.

Might sell if it is written on toilet paper...

At least the TP would be useful.

I will never understand trolling. At least this information is such utter garbage that it's mildly entertaining.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
