Nice swing. What's your preferred ball flight? I just got a Flip and I'm thinking of posting some videos for the Swing Check, too.

Prefered, I'll take medium-high and straight all day long. Unless its windy and I'll take medium-low and straight. Those are the shots I'd like to hit. But its fun to play draws and fades too.

Really cool to see what your swing looks like, Ben, after reading a lot of your posts. Looks pretty.

Ben, look at the fence pole in (in the middle of your body) the first video as a reference point for your swing balance. The pole stays in the middle of your body the whole time. Looks smooth....Great job!

My natural ball is a slight draw. A wild hook does show its ugly face one or two times a round though. I've kinda gotten away from the Hogan Five Lesson Grip that I live by. I definitely need to check myself on that.

Lol, this fuggin guy over here!

Modest too ain't i? hahaha.

Really nice extension and turn through the ball. Love your impact position with your hips well cleared -- you are really keeping the swing going through impact. You are likely fairly long, right?

The divot with the 6 iron was really cool -- club was right down the line then the divot flies out every so slightly to the left as you turn on through. What is not to like about that?

Swing looks great, nice rhythm, good ball position.

But, I couldn't help to notice your hand position with the driver... It look's a bit too far back... Kind of looks like your hands are not straight but at an angle.

I am big headed and i love it. Try it yourself and see how much your game improves.

Fairly long, yes, but definitely not super long. I get by. I used to have a pretty passive swing, but have been working on clearing the hips, and using that move to drag my hands to the ball while using the momentum created by the hips to get through impact the way I do. Aggressively. Thanks for the compliments.

Ben, you're going to give me 21 strokes and I'm going to take you and that pretty swing of yours straight to the cleaners!

I'll give you 36, beat you and get the cart girl. How about that! uuuwahaaahahahaaaaa

i love the driver video, you absolutely unleash on the downswing! Whats your clubhead speed and average distance on drives?

Really never check my clubhead speed. But like I mentioned just up above there, that's something I've really been working on lately. I've been working with a trainer and taking yoga to help with core power.

Swing looks great, nice rhythm, good ball position.

Yeah, my hands are just weird. I was playing golf with my boss and teaching pro yesterday and we were talking about that. I play with a very neutral grip. No matter what I do I can't get rid of that off angle on my left hand. Dunno if my wrist is double jointed or what it is?

Good eye, that is pretty amazing, his head stays in almost the exact same spot horizontally and dips very minimally on the downswing. Better "head action" than Tiger!!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.

      Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
