Who has compact on plane swings on youtube that I can watch?

So I am working on a swing that, at my level, is similar to Tiger's new iron swing. Back on plane, stop short of horizontal, around 30 to 45 degrees from horizontal. Simple transition, down on plane. Right elbow toward the ball then the target.

I was thinking about this while reading the best looking swing. I am not interested in Couples, or Hogan, or Garcia. I am interested in compact and on plane and simple, and within my grasp, down at my level.

Like these:





Thanks,

Tim.

And like this of Tiger from behind:



Note that he is on plane going back, stops at 30 degrees above horizontal, then is on plane going down toward the ball, and keeping his right elbow close to his body as he rotates his hips toward the target while keeping his chest pointing toward the ball.

Who else swings like this? What is this swing called? This is what my teacher has me working on, at my level of course, and I would like to see more swings like this.

Thanks,

Tim.

Here's my driver swing back in March. I was going through a funk where I got short, not quite getting to parallel with the back swing and it threw my timing out of sync. I've since corrected it, but this swing was a good one.

What does everybody think?

(Can't seem to get the youtube link to work, just go to you tube and search on "dangerousduval" My swing video is called JFD Driver.

Here you go jorruss

Cheers! I was putting the entire url in the youtube tag. Oops.

Hey, who's that handsome fellow pounding it 310 down the middle with a tight little 5 yard draw in that video?

I'm 6'2", but the video is slightly distorted. Shot it with one of those cheap $80 camcorders.

That's a Titleist 907D1 with Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue. I was launching the ball too high with too much spin and loosing distance. I've since switched to a Titleist 909D2 I got from the tour rep and put a Grafalloy Epic in it. The spin came down into the 2400rpm range and the launch came down a degree or so and I instantly gained 20 yards. Since starting on my stretching routine after doing a TPI assessment, I've regained my ability to get all the way to parallel with all clubs and gained back that 10 yards I lost over the last few years. I should take an "after" video and post it to see the difference...

Check out Trevor Immelman, best "crisp" and "tidy" swing on tour, imho. Not people lunging at the ball.

Should have no problem finding his swing on youtube.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
