The New Swing Check

[TMO]

The Sand Trap has brought back the Swing Check column. Please click on this link for more details. A few questions you might have:

How much does this cost? $0. Nada. Free.
Why are you doing this? I enjoy it. I had a pretty freak injury to my back but that doesn't mean I can't help others enjoy the game.
What can I expect? Analysis that is science based and logical; NO GIMMICKS. I will draw lines and use comparisons to tour pros to help you better understand what changes need to be made and how to make them.
Who's swing would you say is the best to emulate? My top would be: Ben Hogan, Tiger Woods, David Duval (ala 1999), & Adam Scott

If you would like to be a part of this feature please read the information and the criteria in the link above and then contact me at swingcheck@thesandtrap.com . Hope to hear from you soon.

I've currently changed my swing and am going to get a pro lesson to look at it, but it would be cool if I could get it checked here. How long do you plan to do this? I can't submit anything for 3-4 weeks. If it's still possible I'll be sure to send in my swing.

[TMO]

I am going to be doing this until it's not fun anymore. Hopefully I'm old and grey by then. 3-4 weeks should be ok

I sent in the questionnaire thingie. I was going to video my swing today, but the range was PACKED. Gonna try again tomorrow.

[Ben]

This seems fun. I'll see what I can put together.

looks like I need to find myself a camera. This is perfect for me. I was going to try and get some lessons soon but just cant afford it.

I got my 6 iron and driver videos done today. I'll have them emailed to you later tonight.

i would love to do this but unfortunately i don't own a video camera.

Hi everyone. First off, I want to thank everyone for their submissions. I hope everyone is happy with the feedback they have gotten as well as the few that have articles written. I am running into a problem where I have the same swing faults coming to me lately and frankly, I don't want to be redundant when I publish articles. If you want your swing looked at, please send me the swing and I would be more than happy to give you my feedback regardless of if you have a "new" problem or not. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm sending mine now. I hope I got all the video stuff right... first time ever importing/editing video on my new macbook.

Can't wait to see your response. Thanks alot :)

[patmoran2006]

Yeah Im sending my soon. I've read all your swing articles.

Good stuff!

[Knockglock]

Any tips on how to record and upload vidoe? I have a Blackberry Tour 9630, and for some reason i've been unable to upload video from my media card to my computer :(

Thanks for doing my swing check TMO! great stuff. I'd recommend that anyone who is considering doing this should go through with it. It's nice to get a good breakdown from someone elses point of view.

[Zapticon]

Great, I'll get some shots of my swing tomorrow maybe! Nice offer you're having, and for free as well :)

[Sir Ryan]

Sounds awesome, i'll send in my swing asap man.

[TMO]

I have been receiving a lot of swings from people that are not hitting golf balls. If you are not hitting a shot I cannot truly analyze your swing. There are enormous changes between a practice swing and a full swing. So please, no more practice swings. Thanks

[Brent]

I'm hoping to gain access to a video camera soon, so that I can have my swing analyzed. Keep up the good work TMO.

[GJac10]

This is awesome. I will try to get my swing to you asap. thanks.
