dude, i play once a week and i can consistently have a swing thought that all but eliminates one side. (one way miss). I swing allowing the clubface to be open at the top, just like this guy is talking and I swing very hard. I know that the only way I am going to miss it is left (I am left handed). Really not that hard. maybe i am just fortunate.

So your miss is a slice. Just like 97% of the golfers in the world. Congrats sir, you have found the secret.

Dude, you're wrong. You're a 7 handicap, you're arguing with the logic of respected professionals. AJ Bonar has taught 0 tour pros, and his only claim to fame is selling DVDs on a golf channel infomercial. Guys like you and me can't even shoot within 12 strokes of the lowest ranked tour pros, so it's safe to say we probably shouldn't pretend like we know better.

I was thinking the same thing.

Golf Magazine's latest edition diagnoses Tiger's driver swing problems. Basically, he takes it too far to the outside on the takeaway. He's too flat at the top and laid off with a bowed left wrist. I suppose if you follow AJ Bonar's logic, Tiger's not likely to be laid off if he cups his wrist. Just joking. I tried Bonar's tip about 3 years ago. It's a complete disaster. I could never be consistent trying to close the clubface through impact. But it was a great tip for hitting hooks.

I love it how everyone could fix Tiger in two minutes with one random tweak. It's like Caruso lost his voice and a bunch of twats in the box seats are debating whether his collar's too tight.

This is the best two sentence summary of the entire Tiger swing discussion I've seen all year. "!!!Well done, Stretch!!!". 8-).

HA! Let me guess - it's your putting and short game that's preventing you from breaking 80 more than once every 20 rounds or so!? Ha.

Pffft.

Hahaha. Hey Butch, you need to go back to Tiger, right? Get him to use Winn's new ultralight grip technology, and the new Momentus power hitter.

"AB: Take your normal driver backswing and stop at the top. The toe of the club should point toward the ground, with the face pointing toward the back of your head."

Any ideas on how can you see this unless you can swivel your head around like Linda Blair? Good grief!

Maybe he has one of those new fangled video tape machines?!?

Anyone else think this thread should be titled "Face Facts, AJ"? Every time I see it I think it is a Tiger bashing thread. Then I open it, laugh at AJ, and realize it's not.

Does anyone here think that his bulking up might have some thing to do with his full swing woes?

No. And he's not anywhere near as "bulky" in person as many people seem to believe from seeing him on TV or in pictures.

That's true. In person, he's really quite thin and even, back in the day, he was somewhat effeminate looking. I'm always amazed to hear people talk about how large he is or how bulky he is, because when you see him up close, it's not quite the case.

      Physics

      By iacas · Posted

      It's not. 🤣 It's over 90 seconds into a 5-minute video before they say anything about physics, and when they do, they talk about mastering the double pendulum with a definition that includes gravity or something. Here, @GreenhornGolfer and others: https://amzn.to/3IHnf0N. Buy that.

      Barring a disaster, this will be Scheffler's fourth major and only missing the US Open for a career slam.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Have slowly been working on hooding my long irons less. Using a much more neutral grip and a feel of swinging above the waist. This was the 2nd swing today. A clean clip with a 4-iron with what seems like an okay centered pivot and decent balanced finish.

      Nobody is getting close and Scottie is not letting them. BDC could've had a shot without that awful Thursday. He shot 16 under on the last three days.
