Finally, here is a couple vids of my swing. When the weather gets nice again, I'll get some iron shots and some DTL shots.

I have not seen my swing on video in a long time. A couple things I noticed. I don't like that my head moves back a little, but it does not affect results at all, so I might deal with it or not (haven't decided yet). I do like that my wrists do not twist in the swing. Look how long in the back swing the arms are straight and the wrists have not changed from their starting position. Another thing I really like is the soft left knee. If my knee was straight, my back would hurt. hheeheh I know it's not like Moe, but I have used some of his fundamentals to get control of the golf ball. I have a few things to work on, but I think a lot before I tinker at all. Besides, I hit t ball straight, so I'm not too worried about it.



My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

^some of that is probably camera angle.
Its hard to tell a lot from that angle compared to a down the line video but It definitely looks like you swing on a good plane. I don't think it looks to fast and jerky at all.

It is interesting that the club is pretty far from parallel but I suppose thats a million times better than a fake back swing. Great fundamentals though, weight on the inside of the right foot on the back swing with a good amount of lag through the ball.

We were playing the other day when we took those vids, and the guy was not very good with the cam. I had to scrap a few he too because they were way off and very jerky. When the weather gets good again, I'm going to go and film irons, hybrids and some wedges.

ball position changed from first to second vid.. your swing is a fast/jerky one..

I change my ball position depending on what I want to do. The first on may be a bit farther back because it was into a 20 mph wind and I wanted to keep it down. And as far as jerky goes, I'm slower than I used to be. I am very controlled now and I don't even swing hard anymore.

What's your driver carry? Can you work the ball with that "Moe" swing? I'm just super curious.

I don't know my carry because it changes depending on the shot I want to hit and how high I want to hit it. I like the ball a little lower, so my carry will not be as far, but I will get more roll. If I tee it up and put the ball more forward in my stance, I can carry it 275 - 290 if I really get a hold of one. My average will probably be around 265-270, but again, I like a lower ball flight - I feel I have more control if I get the ball on a certain trajectory.

I can work the ball as well. I love a buttery fade. I have worked hard to eliminate the left side of the golf course, so I have to really focus to hit a big draw with my driver. If I want to draw a ball, I'll just hit my 3-w and because it draws, it goes just as far. Irons I can work both ways pretty easily, but straight is my bread and butter.
It is interesting that the club is pretty far from parallel but I suppose thats a million times better than a fake back swing. Great fundamentals though, weight on the inside of the right foot on the back swing with a good amount of lag through the ball.

I know I'm not quite to parallel, but I still have a full shoulder turn. When the shoulders stop turning, there is no need to bend the arms to make a "full" back swing. By not bending the arms too much, everything stays connected very well and the transition is much easier with no loss of power.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

Im not sure the sliding of the back foot helps much with balance? I didn't notice it in Moe's vids. Like how you 'get' left on the follow through... (Glad its not a cookie cutter swing)

Thank God my sliding of the trail foot is with the transfer of the weight and does not affect anything. I would like to keep it from sliding, but I think I would end up not getting back to square. I need to get a bunch of vids and really examine close up what I need to work on and think on how and if I want to work on them. Honestly, I think this the sliding of the trail foot helps me hold my lag a little longer and helps me keep the club from flipping over at impact. If I kept the trail food down just like Moe, I might have a big hook.... and I don't want that.

The slide does seem quite controlled. I would think after a while your toes would hurt?

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
