Here's a few days of stuff. First, swing length plus maintaining the cupping in the left wrist a little (it feels like my right wrist stays pretty flat): Then, the same thing as a

Just wanted to go through my round of 69 at Whispering Woods to highlight a few things. It was from the blue tees (6500 yards) where we'd held the TST outing a few days prior. Let's take a look at eac

I'd lost the feels so I went back to exaggerate. These aren't even exaggerations, but they're good. Not worried at all about the downswing on these, and I'm under-turning, too. I grouped the ball

Hi Iacas, why do you do that thing at the end of your swing. Like, are you doing that "no follow through" move in all your swings? I'm assuming you mean to do that( I reckon your not the sort of guy to do something by accident). Do you see some sort of advantage in holding the swing and not finishing "high"

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

Before I answer, I'll point out that I removed your classless comment. Grow up.

I don't know what you're talking about. That's a full follow-through. It might not wrap around my neck but that's simply because my arms have not flown off my torso as in some other swings, but that's not "no follow through."

HAHA, no worries.

Your follow through is short though...isn't it? I mean do you swing the driver like that and end the swing with the club pointing at third base or do you have a different finish for the longer clubs?

I'm not criticising your swing or anything but on a normal iron swing would you finish like that? and do you see any advantages in that finish compared to the big arms over the shoulder flourish?

It's not short, no.

Tiger's swing is as long as mine. His shoulder (this swing is from 2007) and thus right arm measurements are different but his swing is the same length.

Are you seriously confusing a practice swing and a feel with an actual swing? In no way is the club pointing at third base - the BUTT OF THE CLUB is pointing well 45° or so left of third base, and the clubhead itself is pointing more than 180° farther than third base.

Probably, but that's pretty stupid.

Thank you for that first video, it helps more than you know.  Also reminds me of this:

Knowing what you need to work on (Phase 1) and knowing what happens when you are successful (Phase 3) are important, but I think actually HOW you practice the pieces and accomplish the goal is too often overlooked. :)  It's so easy to say to myself, "Well, James wants me to keep my left shoulder down longer" then just go pound through a bucket of balls trying to do that each time, and frequently feeling like I accomplished absolutely nothing.

You didn't offend. I'd simply advise you to read before you make comments.

A few quickies from my daughter yesterday...

Changed grip (left heel pad a bit more on top of the club), setup a little bit (a little more slumpy feeling). Look at the differences at A5.

Even before she could line it up pretty well, but she's added significant speed with these changes:

P.S. Suck on that bottom right one, pretty-much-everyone-myself-included. :)

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 85 (26 Jul 24) - Played 18 today (in the rain for most of the round).  Was a fun day, as rain goes, to work on very different course conditions - course was totally soaked, cart path only (no exceptions per the Supt), so zero ball roll out, soaked slow greens.  How did it play out?  Quite consistent as I shot 84 (43 front, 41 back).  A day of focused wedge play to darts on the green as I did not have to worry about excess roll.  While it was a card full of bogies (11 total), a lone double that was countered by a hole out birdie on the par 3 12th hole.  Solid, solid putting - those darts gave me quite a few one putts (8 total) for 26 putts total.

      Golf Shoes - Meandering Thoughts and Questions

      By Sammydreep ·

      I just recently bought two pairs of True, originals 1.2 and a lightweight pair which will have to wait until after Winter.  Very comfortable, but they leaked at the hells, unusual design almost like they have a slipper inside at the back with a waterproof membrane.  The leaked  outside of the membrane, but it eventually crept up into the shoe. I’ve had them replaced, but I haven’t really had a chance to test them yet

      Need Advice for Building My Driver

      By tstreets72 ·

      I currently am building a driver from ground up and need a question answered if anyone can. I have a Taylormade Rocketballz (RBZ) Tour driver head which required a shaft with a .350 tip diameter. I was able to get a shaft with a .335 tip diameter and i don't know much about these adapters for drivers so here is my question: If I buy a .335 adapter that is compatible with a RBZ driver head will that work or do i have to get a driver shaft with a .350 tip diameter?    Sorry if the question is worded in a confusing way but im just trying to figure out if i was use the .335 shaft or if i need to go ahead and buy one that is .350.
