Hey Everyone,

So here is my swing. I know I have some things to fix. Using a 6-iron r7 draw

I'd rather not comment on my swing and just read what others think before I provide my thoughts/ideas.

Thank you in advance for anyone that provides comments, tips, insight etc.

Also, if anyone has drills or practice methods I can use that would be great! I go to the range often and I need to make my practice more effective!

The birds are chirping today!

Before anyone who is qualified to make comments on your swing chimes in, you will probably want to post a swing where you actually hit a ball. Practice swing =/= to real swing. Go grab a plastic ball and plop one into your neighbors yard. They wont mind, lol.

The start of your backswing is very 'handsy'.It should start more with your shoulders, and in the picture above the club is way too far inside for this point.Try bringing it back straighter at first and then letting your right elbow fold naturally to get the club on plane.The second set of videos are pretty much the same.I'd work on those things first.

Hey Tiger Spuds,

How did you get that still frame from my videos?

I think that would be beneficial for me to be able to see my swing in different stages.

I don't know what he used, but when i do stills, i use Windows Movie Maker, there is a camera symbol on the right hand size below the viewing screen, that will take stills.

Thanks for the reply saevel25.

Unfortunately I have a mac. I messed around with some applications but I could not get it to break down frame by frame or figure out how to take a screenshot at a certain point of the movie.

Maybe if someone has some experience using a macbook for swing analysis they could put me in the right direction. I'd like to look at frames and draw lines and angles if possible.

It was rather untechnical I'm afraid.I just kept hitting pause and play quickly until it stopped where I wanted then just did a print screen.

However, you could try the free version of V1 software, it has slowmo playback and you can draw angles etc.It supposedly works on Mac, but I can't verify that.

      Day 186 (04 Nov 24) -  More tempo work today (6i into the net)….did notice that the more I “thought” about it, the less solid the strike.  Side bar - thinking it might be time for a new target flag (the hole 1st appeared Thurs and has now grown to look rather “scowled in appearance”):   Finished up with sone bump and runs with the 6i in the backyard…

      Four shots? And if one of them is good, do you really keep hitting more? Even if you hit all four, since it's basically a four-person scramble… but even better since you can learn directly from previous shots, that's gonna be like 120 full swings. I'd go pretty high in the handicap range against a Tour player (assuming it's a typical 7000 yard course or shorter) given four attempts.

      Sorry, what has this to do with 'Tour stats'? If the idea is that you have to be a PGA Tour pro level short game to shoot low 70s driving it 160ish, then you may be overestimating the difficulty in doing so playing super short tees as @iacas mentioned.  Obviously I don't know the course/courses your friend is taking about but we have quite a few super seniors (70+) at my home course who do just that from super short tees (5,400 yards). There's only one par 4 over 300 yards. Majority average 260ish. The two par 5s are less than 400 yards. From the short tees the margin of error in keeping the ball in play is super wide. Additionally they don't hit hard enough to hit big hooks and slices.  They don't 'throw darts' but instead run up the ball on the green or around it all day. Not terribly hard.

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By DaveP043 ·

      This reminded me of a (fictional) book I read about a golf hustler.  One game he used was to play against a good player.  he'd play his own ball straight up, the other guy was allowed to play the best of 4 attempts, similar to your scenario, but with double the chances.  The other guy got ahead early, but was exhausted after 8 or 10 holes of hitting 4 drives, 4 approaches, etc., on every hole.  Again, this was fiction, but it has a ring of truth to it.  So in your scenario, I'd wonder whether a single player taking two attempts at each and every shot would get pretty fatigued before the end of the round.  With a little self-control, taking a second try only when there was real improvement available, he might do really well.
