Welcome to the forum. I am sure one of the moderators will be moving this to your own "My Swing" thread, instead of having labeled under, "Need Analysis". Usually members create their own "My Swing" thread, just makes things organized.

On a side note, please learn how to embed videos. Its the little film icon. Just helps us so we don't have to keep bouncing between internet tabs.


Usually I don't after grips, but I would take a look at this thread. Looks like you are very palmy with the grip, and probably too weak of a grip.


Few thoughts on the posture, I would flare you feet out about 20-30 degrees. Helps free up your hips, just some freebie stuff with an easy adjustment. Just some information on posture. I think you could be a little more upright, little less knee bed.


With the knee bed, you need to loose some flex in your back knee in the backswing. Get that back hip to go back and up more. Maintaining the knee flex in the back knee is causing you issues, primarily a short backswing, loss of power, and keeping your heady steady. You do a good job with the steady head because of the shorter backswing. If you swung the club to parallel you'd probably have to shift your weight to the back foot more, which you don't want to do. Check out this video bellow for more information.

Thank for the welcome and tips about future posts.  Will remember that for next time!

I agree with everything you said.  I've since switched to an interlocking grip.  The hips though, feel so limited and stiff.  I'll try the feet tip you gave.  Hopefully will help with the rotation.

Hi Daner,

Welcome to TST. I am not qualified to comment on your swing technique but strongly suggest that since you are a rank beginner (4 months) work with a reputable professional before you get too far with habits that can be hard to break. The folks who run this website also have online instruction if that would suit you better. Of course I am simply assuming that you haven't already done so.

Good luck and stick around. Some of the more qualified folks on the site might chime in.

GolfLug,

Thanks for the welcome.  I plan on recording my latest swing and uploading to GolfFix to a pro named Monty.  I heard good reviews from him.  I just like getting several different points of views, cause it's too easy to miss something especially when it comes a golf swing.  I started playing when I was around 15 (now 28), but just this year really put full interest and dedication into it.  Didn't know how much I was doing wrong.  Crazy.

Sure, no problem. I personally don't have any experience with the pro you mention so I cannot comment. I have very good experience with Evolvr, which the site owners run. Check it out. Very reasonable and will work with you very systematically.

Yep agree with this. Rather than have the knees pinched inward, rotate them outward a little. Will help make the overall pivot more dynamic.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
