I recently watched the S&T; videos and found it quite logical, in fact i was already having succes with a somewhat centered swing.

The one element that i found strange was the Flying Wegde. Why do you need to keep that stiff wierd arm after impact like a chip?

I recorded my swing before i started watching the S&T; video. The swing is in my garden and i have not hit a ball for 4 month, yet you can still see that after impact i flip my quite fast i think. I am going to record a decent video once the temperature gets to 5+

Why is it wrong to hit the ball at impact without changing the wrist angle but but still flip the wrist after impact?

info: the swing is recorded in slow motion

You want a flat left wrist at impact and a "flexed" right wrist (flying wedge). You want to keep the clubface square to the inclined plane longer for accuracy and consistency

OR Charlie Wi

Also, you need to slide your hips more to the left and "bank" your right foot before impact

Because you flip before impact (in your video). Look at it again...

A lot of the "long arms" after impact helps to get the ball high, helps to keep you swinging and turning on the circle, etc.

But the flying wedge alone is important because if you have it after impact, you definitely didn't flip. If you "lose it" shortly after impact, you probably lost it, truthfully, before impact.

Thanks, but this my swing before i have made any changes and seen the S&T video.

Will work on the changes and post a video. I recorded the video to able to get an idea on before and after.

    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.
