BTW, if you care to do some snooping, you can guess what the URL is to our first column, due March 14 or so, if you know that the title of the column is "Jeff Smith."

Looking forward to it! I plan on taking my DV camcorder out to the course more often. I'm looking for a tripod device that can clamp onto my push cart so I can have it film me while I hit.

I've done things like set it on the bottom of a range bucket, and use a towel to get the angle right. Works okay.

BTW, time to "push" this thread to the top of the stack yet again: who wants to be next to put their swing "under the magnifying lens," so to speak?

Raises hand - sniffs underarm after being on rainge all day - decides it's good - keeps hand raised.


Now All I gotta do is get to the range and do my swing. My miises are 90% left - my misses make up 5/6ths of my golf game - lol.

Yeah, email me (erik@ this domain) and we'll set it up. See the first post in this thread to look at the format we typically like to use (6 iron and driver, each from two perspectives).

once me and my golf coach at school get around to taping my swing i'll be more than happy to put it on here. i'm just to lazy to actually tape it.

...and btw, is there any software on the internet that u can look at your swing with? my friend has one and it was really cool, you could check your swing plane, spine angle, all sorts of stuff. i've looked but i havent been able to find any.

Mizuno MP-32 3-PW
Cleveland CG10 Black Pearl 52 degree

Okay - fired an email off to my ounger brother - making sure his computer is ready to accept some DVCam footage - I'll try and get to the range on Saturday Morning.

NOW - my grip on my 6 iron is old and I'm in need of a new one - Should I still do the swing - or wait until it's regripped? I figure swing will be the same no matter what - grip pressure might screw things up though. You also want a quick pic of my grip on the club from over my shoulder - and face on? Jon Also - to add, will you be able to tell swing speed from videos and other information to tell wether I'm maybe using wrong shafts etc?

Go with a 7-iron. I don't want it to influence your swing. We don't look at grips (your hands or the rubber stuff) too much unless it's really bad (the hands).

Also - to add, will you be able to tell swing speed from videos and other information to tell wether I'm maybe using wrong shafts etc?

Probably not, no... If you can shoot 60 frames per second, though, do that. It leads to better still frames.

Needless to say - all my irons are old hard grips - My buddys going to come with me - he's got newish clubs - I could just use one of those.

What if my swing is so fast the camera can't capture it? like 400 mph?

kidding.

Going to capture it tomorrow - hopefully get it on a comp and cut up for you this weekend.

If we see a common flaw, we try to stress it as it comes up. You can't have ALL the common flaws, after all.

Haha! Well true true.

I've been on business the last 3 days and nights - out of town. Got my driver swings ready to email - gotta cut up my iron swings to email as well now. Probably going to do that over lunch tomorrow at work. Weird thing while taping my swings - Its like I had problems replicating my "consistant" problem - which is always missing to the left. I was actually pulling and going to the right a little - had a nice draw once. crazy. But I made sure both my driver hits have the major slice. I did make one change in my swing when I was golfing on Wednesday. I've been scared of slicing and noticed my shoulders are open - so ben trying to keep my shoulders on my target line - tough to do as it's pretty ingrained - but when I did it - my shots were much better. So yes - if anything - promise the driver swings tomorrow. and all info requested of course.

    • Day 353: mirror work again today. Working on the same stuff - wrist twist and shaft lean. 
    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
    • Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 18 Index My typical ball flight is: Slice/Fade with a driver and FW. Generally straight with irons, varies some days left or right. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice. Videos:   
    • What are the best drills to practice awareness for club face control? This one came to mind after remembering a bit from the latest release of the podcast. I also think that I have poor club face to path awareness.
