Back for more. I took a few new videos on the 5th. The first is probably the most balance 8 iron I've ever hit. The second is a pretty solid 5 iron. The last is an "ok" hybrid. I claim fault in the bug that decided to take a break on my ear for that goofy swing.

Is it just me or do you shift forward beyond the ball before you make contact? But who am I to judge when your handicap is 20 strokes better than mine!

Yes. That is why he is a 1+ handicap.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

i notice a bitch of a hitch in the take away with your hands....i have the same problem and am trying to fix.

Those are certainly great shots. I'm nowhere near where you are in the swing department, but I have a question. I noticed that when you pivot your rear foot it doesn't just roll onto the toes, but at the very end it skips and ends up replanting maybe and inch or so from where it would be if it just rolled over.

Is this the result of just having a full follow through?

People on here have mentioned that before. I don't do it consciously, nor do I think it effects my swing negatively. I'm not worried about it.

Sorta yeah, I like to twist my left hip as hard as possible to start the downswing (ala Ben Hogan's Five Lessons) and hit down and through the ball. I don't think of it as a shift, but an uncoil to the left.

Yeah, I've got a little foot drag working. I feel its a result of a full follow-through more than anything. I've consciously try to get through the ball. My right foot follows. I think it was Payne Stewart who had the same thing going.

    • Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.
    • I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?
    • The hell is Thomas Fleetwood wearing? He looks like a divorced dad from 1998. Even the shoes are hideous 
    • I was wondering this and haven't seen it on today's broadcast OR yesterday's, but apparently Cabrera did show up.  He currently has the third highest score for the week and is playing his last hole of this year's event.  I'm not particularly keen to see him, but I was wondering if he was present, and he seems to be.
    • Hatton hit 18 GIR.  That's incredible.   Rory's tee shot on #8 reminds me of a TV show, Get Smart, that I enjoyed watching as a kid.  The protagonist would often say "missed me by that much."  Rory missed avoiding the bunker by that much.
