Wow... just viewed my swing on video. Definately not what I pictured in my minds eye. Expecting smooth Ernie Els and got just what my name implies - someone hacking weeds! Better than the last time I saw my swing on video - 2 yr ago but I have lots now to work on: more co-ordinated back swing, better hip turn, better follow thru.... etc. etc. etc.

Have you ever thought of sending it to Michael Breed and his show? I have always wanted to do this. So far I have only had the local pro take a look at me swinging but would like to get a variety of opinions.

Why someone would post the swing on the net and ask a bunch of strangers that don't see your ball flight is beyond me. Sounds like a really bad idea. I wonder what advice the net would give some of the more unique golf swings on tour like Jim Furyk's. If it works,it works, if it doesn't it doesn't. It is all about impact and not about how it looks on video.

short of getting lessons with someone very very qualified, which is a luxury to many people, i believe online swing, for self review or others' comment, provides more good than bad...

jim furyk is an exception. most people will be better off following basic swing techs that can be assessed in slow mo on video. sure, it is about impact, but also about pre-impact. i have taped my kids for some time. it is very easy for us to review older tapes to see progress or the lack of. also, we have benefitted tremendously from different pairs of eyes in public. some make sense, some don't. those who do not make sense,,,could be due to my own ignorance or theirs, but the process of sorting things out in and by itself can be educational. i suppose taping and sharing swing for critique can be also helpful for those with performance anxiety. some people find it hard to swing if they feel the camera is on them. perhaps this deconditioning process will help them play better golf under stress on the course. to be able to exclaim that i suck on video is a bold step forward :) ps. there is a youtube video by tiger and harmon where tiger's thesis is what you feel is not real...

Seeing myself on video for the first time was one of the most horrifying experiences. I regularly use in now for self analysis.

Just like anything you read on the net, you have to take feedback with a large grain of salt. Some is helpful and good, some not so much.

I guess my personal history is that chunks of unrelated and inconsistent advice is not a good thing.

I wouldn't even think going to see three diffrent PGA pro's for a lesson in one week would be a good idea. Their advice would likely conflict and cause you all sorts of issue. The idea of asking a bunch of strangers to give you their (likely uneducated) advice seem like about the worse idea ever.

you've made a good point, but i think we all function based on our own values and judgements. whereas you think quite lowly of it, i think quite highly of it, but i am sure there is a middle ground where some folks find some use of it. from my own personal experience, i have found that in general, the opinions given by my kid's teacher is not that different from some of the better internet people on this site and others. overall, i consider this whole process to be a better golfer... research, meaning, i enjoy the process of sorting through issues and being confronted with problems that require active evaluation. for instance, my kids also play musical instruments. one camp says that you live under one master and follow every step. the other is to learn to fit your own need from many sources. i am more of the latter camp and over years, i think this approach has helped them develop their own style more naturally. with golf, reading, face to face teaching and learning, discussion with others online all contribute to the big picture. cheers.

Sounds like you set your goals a little too high. Dude your a 14 handicap. You can't think that your gonna swing it like Ernie, it's just not going to happen.

I didn't really think I looked like Ernie Els :)... just hoped to look smoother than 6 months ago. I guess my point in posting is that video reveals that my perception of my swing fundamentals is different in many respects than what is actually happening. For instance I see that my hips are not working as well as I thought and definately not the way my instructor taught. On the other hand, my lag has improved dramatically, just as I thought!

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
