My Swing (keriboi)

[keriboi]

Help, hitting the ball good, but my back swing is so short,

This is me hitting a full 7 iron, I hit my 7 iron about 185meters on the fly, no problem with power.

Not a technical comment, but...

Why would you worry about the lenght of your backswing if you're getting the ball flight and contact you want?  Heck I'd use a putter off the tee if I could consistantly get the shot I want out of it.

[keriboi]

because sometimes to compensate without knowing my swing gets so quick people joke they didnt even see it

Nothing wrong with being shy of parallel on the backswing.  Just think of good tempo for a swing thought to help with getting quick.

Quick tempo isnt always bad but if it turns into hurkey jerky through the course of the round then i would work on it.

The only way i know to change my tempo in a way where i can keep it consistent throughout the course of a round is to count in my swing.

Such as:

OOONNEE-TWO-THREEEE

1 being my backswing, 2 being the transition and 3 being my downswing.

Thats the way i do it, im sure some people would go ONNEEE-TWOOOO

I do come back to this from time to time if i start to feel that i am getting too quick,

185m (202 yrds), do you play at La Paz Country Club or on the high veldt. Next thing you will be telling everyone that the All Blacks are a lock for the RWC.

If you're hitting it well, why would you want to change anything?

200 yd 7 iron???? Dang dude.  That is long!!!!

[Harmonious]

That was a 200 yard shot?  Hmmm......

[keriboi]

ahaha, hang on, was all confused.

7 iron is 155m lol

4 iron is 185m 5 iron at a push
