hold your gun.

You're pro? You cant even turn 90 degrees and finish off properly. You're like doing punch shots on every swing how in the world. You do realize that right?

What have golf become nowadays. really.

If you follow the swing thread you know I'm always working on getting less shallow/more steep on the downswing but only made minimal gains mechanically. To see if I can really change it I've been want

You guys are learning from him?

Horrible/bad back posture.

Your up swing is so flat , then you're coming over the top to hit it straight.

Hips are still squared upon impact decreasing your lag and impact.

Flipping your wrist so fast upon impact using your wrist to control the club. (unable to achieve flat wrist)

swing plane totally off...

If you're pro I'll better join the web.com tour and get my pro card.. (haha kidding)

Bit harsh bomberman........But I think there's a big lesson here to be learnt about the "prettyness" of a swing and the efficiency of it.

Taking the above advice may lead to destruction of your golf game. Laughing at it may reduce stress.

I am not sure he can.  If he is really from Iceland, how much golf can he play?

That is rich, I seem to recall some of your posts that were directed at Mike and/or Erik which were pretty similar. Glad to see you've mellowed somewhat.

I was thinking about that this morning when I first saw Bomberman's latest pearl of wisdom, maybe you should be required to have a posted swing video in order to be able to comment in "my swing" threads. Might minimize the drive by bullsh!t that people throw up.

I have no problem with high-handicappers commenting on any thread they want, but you shouldn't be allowed to mock the swing of someone who would be giving you 20 shots (not that Mike can't take it, just, y'know, as a general principle).

My comment had nothing to do with handicap. Just thinking that if you don't have the guts to post your own swing then you shouldn't have the ability to comment on someone else's swing. Kind of a "put up or shut up" scenario.

I said "put up or shut up earlier," so we agree. :-)

What have golf become nowadays. really.

Many of the swing videos of Mvmac found within this thread are practice sessions that he's filmed.  In particular, where he is exaggerating the feels of a 'pitched elbow' or 'deeper/higher right hip', etc.  The reason to do practice sessions with abbreviated swings, or with exaggerated feels is to make geo changes within the pattern.  Or as Foley would say, he's laying down more myelin.

Basically it is 'Practicing with a Purpose', where the exaggerated feel or abbreviated swings become finely ingrained within the full swing overtime.  And becomes a natural pattern, even when placed under pressure of tournament play.

So back to my point... Just because mvmac isn't taking a full turn - or finishing into some 'textbook' finish in every single swing video found within this thread... Doesn't mean he has a bad swing. In fact, I know he has a good swing, better than mine as I've seen it in person.  But again, he isn't trying to make a post of his swing as - here is my full swing.

Thanks, not sure what an upvote is, there is a little "thumbs up" icon at the bottom of the posts if that's what you mean? Anyways, I wasn't suggesting it to be exclusionary, just think there would be a lot less "big mouth negativity" if people had to pony up first.

No I don't think I would EVER, rubbish another members swing. That's not right!

Gotta back logman here. I recall a lot of nonsense from him and a lot of disagreement, but certainly no discouraging or insulting posts directed at other people's swings. :)

I know you wouldn't do that, you can be pretty god damn contrary but you aren't mean, that is not what I meant.

Not bashing peoples swings, at the the end of the day I believe our dear Logman has a good heart and isn't mean spirited, but I do seem to recall some belittling of the teaching abilities of Mike and Erik which is what I was refering to. It is possible I'm mis-remembering or confusing Logman with another poster (in which case I apologize) but I'm pretty sure I recall correctly.

FWIW y'all know I'm one of Logman's staunchest defenders!

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By iacas ·

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.

      I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play.

      This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online.

      Ha, I didn't even notice that "NFL competition" part… I just dismissed it on face because pause has very little if any role in TV ratings.

      Wait a second. That is a bit misleading to drag a 4 year old headline about the ratings when the Masters was delayed during the pandemic. The 2024 ratings were down but not to the extent that this headline would imply. Also, @iacas is correct. Any ratings drop has very little, or perhaps, nothing to do with pace of play.
