My Swing (Nuck81)

[sean_miller]

The best advice I've had about the downswing is no matter how much you think you're standing up through impact, try and do it more. You want to feel like everything is extending as much as it can -- spine, both legs, left side.

Yeah, that bit right there - I think to the average player, that's would look a bit like a reverse C.

And no thank you, I'm not interested in an "I heart S&T;" bumper sticker today - just commenting on nuck's swing thread, which I thought this originally was.

Sorry Nuck, don't mean to hijack your thread but do think this could help you too if you stick with S&T.;

no no no, this exactly what I want and need, carry on bro!!

Maybe we can get some of those made along with the Sand Trap decals!

No hard feelings. It's all just for fun.

I think they got merged

Stretch, you're getting ahead a bit. :) Let's get the backswing working well before we worry about jumping on the down-swing.



As you can see you've moved both of your centers, upper and lower, ahead of the ball on the backswing. The dots mark the spots where they were (as the oval does for your head). I get that the camera angle is funny but the ball still appears to be back in your stance a bit.

You'll probably want a bit more standing up and a bit more side tilting to the left to steepen your shoulders. If you can get your hips to stop sliding forward (your right hip should feel as if it's going up and BACK) your upper center should probably be okay too. But still, a bit more standing up (3 more on a scale of 1-10) and a touch more side tilt (maybe 1 or 1.5 on the same scale).

A down-the-line video would be nice. Also, a video that's more at about hip level (I know it's tough).

I'm going back to the range after the sun dies down a little more. I'll try to integrate your instructions.

And sorry about the camera, it's my phone propped against the bucket. My GF will be with me another time and i'll get some good video then...

[nuck81]

Well that sure didn't go very well.

I just spent the last hour firing 60 hosel rockets up the ass of the fat guy next to me. He seemed to enjoy it, but I was not too happy....

Did you record any video's?

It might only be a small thing that's putting you off.

[nuck81]

Coming up.

After watching it my ball is WAAAY back in my stance. But i think I was putting it there since I was bottoming out so early in my swing. That would probably explain why they were shooting off to the right. I swear with just a few more swing I could have gotten us authentic chinese take out

[nuck81]

I have a short game lesson with my pro this morning, i'm pretty excited about it...

[James_Black]

Extension in the follow through isn't good.
Did you try the drill stretch posted on page 5?

Not yet, I live in an apartment and I don't know how the landlord or city commision would feel about me launching bricks into the street.

I'm going to moms this weekend though, I grew up on a farm so will be doing it a lot there...

you don't have to use a rock (or throw it)

Just use something heavy.

Almost a week of practice after implementing some S&T; ideals to my technique. This after about 10 balls off the deck with each club...
