i think the caddy view would of looked a little more powerful if I would of went a little farther on the backswing. S&T; teaches to go until your head rotates a tiny bit to the right but your eyes stay on the ball my turning in their sockets left. I didnt go that far

Technically, we teach a swing that fully loads (but doesn't overload) #1 and #4 accumulators (right elbow bend, left arm across chest) and has roughly a 90° shoulder turn).

i see, what degree does #4 go to, I know #1 stops at 90*. Is it like 43* or something?


Was reading mike and andys stack n tilt book at barnes and noble and came across this picture they had in the book of how impact should look, so I snapped a picture of it with my phone. I think I could use a little bit of a straighter left arm but I think as far as my upper body its good. Im doing some work with my legs now per instruction from golf evolution.




I had a practice session today and I really got the stock shot flight down for the S&T; swing. I mean Im still going to have to practice and practice but I was hitting mostly all high push draws with a few straighter slight draws, it was nice. I had that feeling of being able to come inside and really whip the club through the ball close to impact. The thing that really got me able to feel that whipping through the ball close to impact was stopping fast on my follow through. It really does allow you to whip through the ball causing alot of swing speed for a high push draw. Im not there by any means as in a pefect swing but it was nice to have a push draw and really increase my swing speed at the same time.

With the help of Golf Evolution Ive come to the swing Ive got now. Im really happy with it now since I have a much more fundamentaly sound swing and my shots are straight or sometimes a little push draw. Much much more accurate. Heres what Im going to be sticking with for awhile, of course little adjustments in between.

The clubface isnt closed at the top or it would be facing the sky, it might be like a tiny tiny bit closed nothing I want to change or noteworthy. Plus Im hitting it with the ballflight I want.


The face looks nicely square to the arc to me. Good job man. Looks like you have the big pieces working.

thanks stretch, yea too bad I got my swing to where I want it at the end of the season, lol. Takes awhile to do it the right way. Im going to keep working on it for sure over the winter and take my playing partners money. I really want to ingrain it. He doesnt practice over the winter and hes a 6 handicap in his prime. I plan on taking his money next spring,lol

I think the clubface is open when it faces the sky at the top, and shut when it's more forward, but I'm probably wrong.

PS. I realize as I'm typing that I'm replying to the wrong post.

i dunno guys. lol. Compare it to this picture at the top.

I see your point, but I assumed we were talking about the clubface. I'm still probably wrong.

I would agree with you that square is the bottom picture and then open and shut have been reversed on the top. But I also know nutting.

yea thats what I was thinking too, its the only picture I could find online tho.


I didnt really post it for help or critique, I understand people want to help but I really like where its at right now. The clubface is good to me, I dont hinge side to side, only up and down and my arms are in good position through the backswing and at the top so the clubface is going to be exactly the angle I had it at address when its at the top

    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
