And he talked about being "above" the plane when the DTL slo-mo clearly showed that he was beneath it. He did try to rescue the thought when he talked about it being a "feel" and how you need to keep your body moving. Feel ain't real!  

Yea definitely a feel. It’s interesting to hear about how he feels his swing. And what he tries to feel definitely makes sense given how he swings. 

The missing key to this though is explaining that his swing type never really releases the arms coming down, and that’s why he has to feel all this stuff. I think if he had said that, I wouldn’t have shared it in the Comics Thread. But without that key point, this information can really hurt someone.

The disingenuous pics continue with S&T. I remember they did one of Nicklaus with his left heel planted, left leg flex over mid-foot and said it was A4.

Ball Speed plays an important part in shaping the roll of your ball on the putting surface. You can't control the slope or speed of the green, but you can control how hard or soft you hit your ball.

I'll bet you guys didn't know this!

Your ball accelerates as it moves away from your putter, then goes a constant speed for awhile, and then finally begins slowing down. There are three phases to all putts: the acceleration phase, the constant phase, and the deceleration phase.

You know it's true because people with "Dr." in the title of their name apparently say so!

Uphill putts are easier than downhill putts because you have to stroke the ball more firmly than downhill putts.

In other words there is a longer acceleration phase as your ball starts off faster and a shorter deceleration phase as it slows down faster.

Wow!

That website design made my eyes bleed. That template is like from 10 years ago.

Found a kindle book called "Golf Swing Power - How to increase your golf swing distance 10x and hit it farther than ever before by Steven Franco

Quote

Professionals are likely to achieve a downward swing speed in excess of 100 mph with someone like Tiger Woods reputedly at 125 mph. Amateurs are nowhere near that and shouldn’t even try. They will rarely reach 100 mph and can actually go on a simulator to get measured.

 

Quote

Increased swing speed is not the answer. Newton’s Second Law of Physics states that acceleration times mass equals force. It doesn’t apply to golf because improving distance usually happens by reducing the speed of the swing. Reduction applies to backswing and follow through. If you reduce the speed of your backswing you are more likely to be able to keep your body in sync with your club and improve your distance as a result.

Franco, Steven. Golf: Swing Power - How to Increase Your Golf Swing Distance 10X and Hit it Farther than Ever Before (golf swing, chip shots, golf putt, lifetime sports, pitch shots, golf basics) (Kindle Locations 322-326). UNKNOWN. Kindle Edition.

    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
