Back for more. I took a few new videos on the 5th. The first is probably the most balance 8 iron I've ever hit. The second is a pretty solid 5 iron. The last is an "ok" hybrid. I claim fault in the bug that decided to take a break on my ear for that goofy swing.

Those are certainly great shots. I'm nowhere near where you are in the swing department, but I have a question. I noticed that when you pivot your rear foot it doesn't just roll onto the toes, but at the very end it skips and ends up replanting maybe and inch or so from where it would be if it just rolled over.

Is this the result of just having a full follow through?

i notice a bitch of a hitch in the take away with your hands....i have the same problem and am trying to fix.

People on here have mentioned that before. I don't do it consciously, nor do I think it effects my swing negatively. I'm not worried about it.

Is it just me or do you shift forward beyond the ball before you make contact?

Sorta yeah, I like to twist my left hip as hard as possible to start the downswing (ala Ben Hogan's Five Lessons) and hit down and through the ball. I don't think of it as a shift, but an uncoil to the left.

Yeah, I've got a little foot drag working. I feel its a result of a full follow-through more than anything. I've consciously try to get through the ball. My right foot follows. I think it was Payne Stewart who had the same thing going.

      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.

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

      By snapfade ·

      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.
