That is a smooth swing. Great tempo. Just looks effortless.

I know you were fighting a hook, but when you're swinging well, do you normally play a fade or draw?

Well, right now with my current swing I am hitting a small fade. I don't usually draw the ball, but I can if I must.

Hey how did you develop the feel of getting your legs to fire first before your hand start moving down. On your iron swing you can definetly tell that your left hip bumps left than the club starts down.

Well, it all roots back to my old swing which was very flat. Therefore, I worked on getting more upright using the feeling of having the club go straight back. Using this swing thought for a extended period of time made me develop this "hip bump" which in turn developed "down-lag". The reason is because my arms and club are still going up while my hips and lower body start to unwind therefore creating lag. I have now gotten my swing into a better position for consistency, i.e. more on plane backswing which has lessened these habits. As for a feeling, its really something I've just always done, but I can describe it as if you were using a whip and were unwinding your hips while still in your backswing. I'm sorry I couldn't describe this better, it's really something I do by habit and not really by "thinking" of it.

Yea bro, from the AtL. Used to be a member at OAC, but now I'm a member at Bears Best.

[runyans]

Nice. I haven't played Bears Best in a while. I grew up in that area and am out at Hawks Ridge now.

[tterrag]

Nice! The greens are really fast. I played Hawks for a tournament, they had the rough at 5in plus, but thats sick I wish I could be a member there.

very nice swing, at a 2 handicap you really just need practice to fine tune everything.

just a point on your transition.if you want to slow it down a but here is a little drill.

take your normal backswing and then hold it at the top and count to 2. then take your downswing. this trains you brain that there should be a pause before starting the downswing and should smooth things out and create more consistent ball striking.

[tterrag]

Thanks for the insight.

[shivasirons]

Wow, look like a pro! Do you give lessons?

[tterrag]

Well, strangely enough, I actually went to a stack and tilt type swing. I haven't gotten to posting any videos because I am still developing it, but I will try to soon. Consequently it has also helped my short-game, being that in my old swing the worst area was the first few feet in the backswing. Thus I had less time to react and fix the poor takeaway on the short shots.

Test.
