Based on the comments, apparently not. This angle was not well received. I love seeing more of the ball flight from this angle. It's definitely better than zooming in on it from on high and you don't have much perspective of how it's curving.

Something wonky with the Instagram post, here's the video.

I've always thought that angle looked cool. It's not the most flattering one, though.

Nah.  Just give me good protraces and trackman data.  I geek out over that.  I agree with the comments with this being a rather useless perspective.

I can't quite put my finger on it but I don't really like it.

I don't care that much, though.

I think it's good now and then to change things up. But like everything, it could be over-used quickly.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      Yeah - I'll keep an eye on that - I've been across the line for about forever, so I assume that I want to overexaggerate the laid off bit to get it closer to square when I take a real swipe at the ball.

      Those are better. Watch where the shaft points at the top, too. Bit over-rolled there (laid off).

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      First swings at after a 2.5 month forced hiatus. No surgery in the forecast at the moment! Doc said okay to start easing in gently over a few weeks. The effort is barely 30% here but felt solid.  I think my swing changed a few years ago after my right ankle injury (weight shift profile). I wonder if this may bring about another change. I certainly won't pivot on to the knee (left) aggressively any time soon, if ever. Could even be a good thing..heh.

      I mean, I just assume he mistyped something. 🙂 Promos were on X/Twitter and today I put the promo on IG. The full video is landscape (not good for Instagram) and too big for X (file size), so it's always been on YouTube.
