It's possible to spend money on the resources available to help develop a good swing. But the swing itself can only come from dedication and proper practice.

Of all the items you listed, only lessons can help your swing. Everything else is superfluous. Just because you can buy tap shoes doesn't make you Fred Astaire.

Ragontona pretty much summed up my thoughts as well. Lessons can only take you so far, the rest is up to you. Improvement comes from practice and dedication to the game.

I see so many people at the range who have all the latest and greatest in golg equipment, but they cant make a proper swing to save their lives.

I would say yes by find out what your doing wrong, try to fix it and then practice practice, practice. Your swing is different then everyone elses, you need to find what works the best for you. Make sure those lessons are not changing your whole swing unless you really have bad mechanics.

My dad was a club pro & I saw him play with rental ladies clubs and shoot 75. He said the swing is the thing,do not expect the tools to do the work. Just wondering what others think. OK

I think you're pulling all of our chains, and I'm getting tired of it. A guy with an 8 index doesn't ask these questions.

I barely wanted to post a reply to this thread, but did, and was hoping that would put an end to it. Apparently, it didn't work.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
