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.

Ok PinGKEN.

Here's some new vids. Hitting an "almostGolf" ball. Still using 6-iron r7 draw.





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.
A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

 

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.

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
