Well it seems like I'm having to convert, the programs just don't like too high a file size but I can keep the frame rate when I convert and I didn't realise my new computer could convert in seconds.




Here's a video from a recent round. I had no idea that my left arm was collapsing so quickly after contact, I'll be working on this to improve consistency.

Notice the tee bounces up and hits the back of the club!

I could be wrong here.

I think your hips turn too much, and your shoulders not enough.

Are you trying stack&tilt;?

You are. They're around 45 and 100 degrees.

Yep. I agree.

Yeah, you're trying to lift the ball. Looks like you're trying to pull a fish up out of the water onto the boat in the followthrough, which is not good. You need to strike down and through the ball.

Nope, do I appear to be then?

I'm really not up on the terms. You mean I should keep my wrists more firm and drive down into the ball?

You are. They're around 45 and 100 degrees.

How do you measure those angles so I can check myself in future? If you've already told me on your reply, I can't see images at work so just point me back to your original post. :D

What would you suggest for hip/shoulder turn?

This is weird, as my swing thought with irons is "drive down on the back of the ball", obviously this isn't translating into the swing as much as I would like. I will definitely work on this.

Notice I don't go back to parallel but I am not losing distance from this, I carry my 7i around 155-160 but I don't get a lot of run. I'm using Cobra S2 Max, which promote a high flight.

There's no reason to go back to parallel, and distance with irons doesn't mean much, as long as it's the same distance with the same swing.

What you feel you're doing and what you're doing are very different, and often quite different. I'm not in favor of the "hit down and through the ball" swing thought. Proper technique will make you hit down, and indeed, for me, the proper release feels like I'm swinging up at the ball, not down. You need to find what feeling causes the proper motion.

For now I find that that particular swing thought promotes a better contact. Even if it still isn't working properly, I'm definitely hitting better than I was. In time, no doubt I will find something else to initiate the swing but as I swing back on exhaling, I do think that one thing. I will definitely work on it though.

please don't.

One thing I used to say to my friends in matchplay was "do you exhale/inhale on the backswing?" it puts them off. Trying to do that won't help.

I already exhale just before I swing, it relaxes me.

      Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      By klineka ·

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL

      I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.
