I am playing much better as of recently. I was fighting a fade and it still does every now and then, but I can hit a draw if I focus and make good contact. My driver has become a fairway finding machine lately.

Let me know what you think. I would really love to see anyone who can put some still frames of me at impact. I dont have a special camera....not really sure what the FPS are either.

Youtube made you a very telling still frame, actually. Look at the freeze frame for your "Kyle 6 iron front.AVI" video. A massive flip + Chicken wing to boot. Sorry, but iacas was not pointing out a good weight transfer. He was pointing out the lack of a flat left wrist at impact.

No offense, but if three of them are like that, there's a chance many of them are.

None taken. Thats why I video my swing. I went to the range tonight and hit some good shots. Now I know what I need to work on tomorrow night.

are you hitting fat most of the time (taking out a huge piece of dirt)? It seems to me you should work on your posture as well as keeping your upper spine strait throguh the ball. I would work on that before i started working on weight shifting but thats just me.

The day these were filmed I wasnt really working on anything. Just hitting balls. The range needed to move the ropes cuz I was practically hitting on dirt. My clubs are way too short for me and I will be fitted for AP2's soon. I have days where everything is fat and some days where I fight a borderline slice, but overall I can still keep it in the mid-80's. I think the new irons will help me stand up much straighter and maybe get me to a single digit.

Yeah, like the others are saying, I'd work on your left side through impact. Particularly that left wrist. Check out Hogan's Five Lessons book, if you have it, for nice detail on proper execution. I'd also work on your ball position. Looks too be well off your back foot in 6iron front 2. Tempo and balance looks good! So does the speed through impact.

Your ball position for both 6i and Driver appear to be well back in your stance. I understand moving the ball back to promote a draw, but this seems excessive to me.

Thoughts?

I think the driver ball position looks back due to camera angle. After looking it over again and again I noticed Im kind of turned towards the camera a little bit. My girlfriend needs to stand perpendicular next time. Ball position on driver is usually just inside my left big toe. 6 iron on the other hand, needs to move forward a little bit.

With respect to the camera angle, I picked up this book last year since I do a lot of self analysis with video: http://www.amazon.ca/Picture-Perfect...9&sr;=8-1-spell

While I wouldn't necessarily recommend the book, one tip the author makes is to set up the camera as follows:

Down the line: Set the camera up 20 ft behind the golfer roughly waist high. Aim the camera so that it is aimed where the hands would be at address.
Face On: Set the camer up 20 ft in front of the golfer roughly waist high. Aim the camera so the golfer is centered in the picture.

This helped a lot so that I was consistently recording swings from the same angle/depth/height and allowed me to accurately compare swings over time.

Thought I'd pass that on ...

Well tonight sucked. I show up to the range with my dad. We buy a pro bucket (200 balls) and hit the range. Its pretty packed but I see two open spots around this guy, so my n my pops split up. I get to my spot and all the grass is dead and sandy and not firm at all. I took my 3rd swing with my wedge and a section of 2ft by 2ft grass ripped up..... I guess they put some filler grass in and it never took. So now Im at a packed range practically hitting shitty sand shots. Anyways, Ill hit the range again Saturday before my early morning round Sunday. Hoping to break 80 for the first time.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
