In my quest to break 85, I have been reviewing my swing quite a bit as of late. And I have noticed something real interesting. Looking at the striations on the soles of my clubs, I am seeing a pattern.... well sort of.

I have attached some pictures for creative advice.

On my irons, I notice my long irons look almost new, while my short irons have somewhat diagonal striations through the entire sole of the club. Attached are a few pictures of what I am trying to describe.

Now to make things even more confusing, I notice my older driver has the same diagonal striations. So that confuses my initial thoughts as only my longer irons are clean and or have striations that are straight and not in a diagonal pattern.

I have had others review my swing, and no one can tell me why. I had thought I may be swinging from the outside in, but others say I am not.

Any advice as to where I should look?

Thanks


Here are pics of my 6 iron, as you can see it is clean with minimal marking. Almost looks new.

Ironically my alternate driver is clean and again looks almost new.

A swing video would help. You must have some sort of cross motion.

Don't really have a camcorder at the moment.

But I think I may have found my issue. I was at the range today when a tour pro decided to come in and talk with the range pro. He started helping the four of us that were there and I asked him to watch my swing.

It seems that I have good tempo and my plane is ok, but I was placing my right thumb out straight which was not allowing the club to have a complete follow through, thus altering the completion arc. He worked with me a bit and I was able to add some distance as well. So as we all know grip does matter.

    • I'm still not sure why you think lower ticket prices should encourage free to view, particularly for a Ryder Cup in the U.S. where it's broadcast on NBC, which is free to us here. The U.S. PGA reaps the benefits of a U.S. Ryder Cup. The European Tour reaps the benefits of a Euro Ryder Cup. You're missing the point. You misunderstood. Oh man. They sold out. It's as wide an exposure as they wanted to get. Given the limited quantity of tickets, your best plan to maximize profits is to sell them for the highest price. Let's say they wanted to sell 50k tickets a day. If you price the tickets at $1,000,000, the market size might be 20 people, so you might sell ten to some super-wealthy golf fan. That's $10M/day. If you price the tickets at $1, the market size is maybe 2 million people, so you'll definitely sell all 50k tickets. You'll make $50,000. If you price the tickets at, I dunno, let's say $750, your market size might be 51,000, or 75,000… but either way, you still sell all 50k tickets. You make $37,500,000. If you price the tickets at $1,000, the market size might only be 35,000. So you'd make $35,000,000. Let's say you attended the Beastie School of Economics, and you sell the tickets for $200. You sell all 50k, making a profit of $10,000,000. You're leaving $27,500,000 on the table, and the secondary market ticket resellers probably bought up all the tickets, sensing value. Simple stuff here, really. The only trick is getting the price right. Price it too high, and you won't sell out. Price it too low, and you left money on the table (which secondary market ticket resellers will sop up). I suggest re-reading the first post and this post.
    • Day 140: did a stack session.
    • Day 1: After a long practice layoff due to injury, vacation, winter darkness, and work stuff, I'm trying to start back up again. Today I just hit balls with keys from my lesson 6-ish weeks ago; neutral grip and centered turn. Gonna work with that for a few weeks, see how it goes, and then get a lesson scheduled.
    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.
