Ok so lately i've been putting much attention to my driver and at the range few days back i solved it and hit at least a good 6 dead straight, being very satisfied with myself and slowly feeling more and more comfortable with my swing i have a question or two just to make sure what i'm doing is on the right track.

Is it good to basically try and copy your foreswing pattern with your backswing pattern?

In my Black'n'Red :

Driver: R7 TP 460cc 10.5* Reax 65 stiff shaft
3 Wood: Tour Impact 15*
Irons: Tour Impact 3-PWWedges: Vokey Oil Can Spin Milled 54.10, Golfco Baron 58* SWPutter: Tracy II 35"Balls: Prov 1Age:16

i'd say they mirror each other in a way. You turn your shoulders on your backswing to take the club back and the uncoiling of your shoulders/body is what causes the downswing to occur. If you've heard of Ben Hogan's pane of glass idea, you basically are keeping the club traveling within that pane on both your forward and backswings...essentially causing them to sorta mimic each other.

I know i'm dancing around the question because i dont want to exactly say that they are or arent copies of each other...but hopefully that points you in the right direction

No. The downswing is less steep, and also goes from inside out. You execute the back swing by moving your hands, arms, shoulders, and hips in that order... and you execute the downswing by moving your hips, shoulders, arms, and hands in that order.

thats certainly a better way of answering the question

try recording your swing,

what golfers think they are doing and what they are actually doing tend to be two different things,

when you begin your downswing your hips turn to the left therefore and your hand then drop inside on a lower plane, if you turn back and forth in a mirror image it means that you are not coiling correctly or engaging the larger muscles.

clear as mud i know, record your swing and post it!

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      I'll be honest, the only reason the 2 iron was in my bag is because I tend to hit the ball into the tree's fairly often. And I was using it to help me keep the ball very low to get out of the tree's while avoiding getting much loft to hit branches. I guess I can drop the 3H as well. Would it be wise to give a higher loft fairway wood a try as well, something like a 26 degree? I believe there is only one golf shop where I live that has a golf simulator and trainer. I see they offer free fitting with a purchase from the fitter. I'll have to check how much they charge without a purchase, I've read a few stories about fitters on this forum that just wanted to sell the person the most expensive clubs and that kind of deters me a bit. They do offer lessons as well. I'll give them a call and ask them a bit more about these services. Thank you!

      The Stack System - A Conversation on Gaining Swing Speed

      By DeadMan ·

      Here is a description of all the programs:  Programs & Training Programs and Training TheStack is a personal swing-speed trainer for golfers. Initially, each golfer is piloted through a series of swing speed tests to generate a force-velocity profile of their current swing. Qualitative data is... I think cruiser is meant for maintaining speed and flex can do more than that. But I'm just basing that on the descriptions that I linked.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By jsgolfer ·

      Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

      I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
