The thing about the outdoors videos are that those swings were coming off a 5 month hiatus and the apartment swing was with me having a better idea of my swing at the time and able to recap from my golf trip.

Thanks for the info guys. Good stuff!

I love this place.

When my site finally launches I will do a nice writeup about this place.

iacas - The key to your sentence there being "....took a few swings with a SW" - you generally need more shift with a longer club.Try swinging a driver (even in the office - lol) with 15 degree's of hip turn !

I turn about the same amount. My backswing is the same length.

However totally dissagree on "getting your left hip "behind" the ball may lead to inconsistent, weaker play".....are you saying that the longer hitters/better golfers on tour,both past and present,dont shift their weight or move behind the ball on their backswing ?

No, I'm not saying that. I am saying that their left hip never gets "behind" the ball. I suppose it may depend on how you define "behind." I look at it as, when viewed from the front, and extending a vertical line from the ball, most players keep their hips in front of that line.

Witness, Tiger Woods in 1998 .

My fault entirely - i should never have written "behind" in the first instance.My bad.I should have said something like "...left hip moving away from the ball/target...".However i did also give the analogy of swinging inside a beer barrel to try to convey that this movement was in inches and was NOT a major sway off the ball.

Theres no way the lefp hip is/should/would/could move behind the ball.Unless you had incredibly bad ball position


What those pics do show is the Tigers awesome top of the back-swing position.You can see his hips moving laterally if you can use that small white dot to the right of his left hip as a reference point.Look at the trees carefully and you can also see how much his head has moved to the right on the way back.Also see how much he is sitting on his right side also compared to majorchamp with his left knee perfectly pointing at the ball in pic 4 indicating
how much he has "moved away" from the ball,and how more weight is now on the right leg /inside the right thigh.

And i hope he kicks butt at Bay Hill this week !!!!!!! Im such a fan

Right,golf course for me today.I got a game to hone.

    • I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.

    • As long as it's from a reputable seller it should be just fine. Just make sure the picture of the weight looks the right shaped weight for that specific driver head. You can even weigh it yourself when you get it if you want to be extra sure. Personally I don't consider $15 for something that can greatly change your impact and delivery characteristics to be "not cheap" but that's just my opinion. Especially since you know it's bringing it closer to what you were fit into and you're already saving a bunch of money by going the used/prior model year route too.
