That's probably a good question that I'd love to answer - the problem is I don't really ask a lot of people. I just find what sensation or feeling works best for them, and go from that.

I think people who are right-handed often feel things more in their right hands (i.e. karate chopping with your left hand doesn't feel as strong as hitting with your right hand), or rolling your left wrist (#3 accumulator) will often not resonate as much with feeling the shaft flatter or the right palm more up, but that's more just what I think is generally true and not what I've actually measured or surveyed or anything like that.

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

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

Regarding first video.  Wish I could keep my left arm that straight throughout the swing.  Great lag and interesting follow through.

The one from over two years ago? Drill. Not a full swing. :-)

It is very pretty nonetheless and has inspired me to work on a few things on the range today (or 18 if I can jump the office :P)

Thanks. These threads are good here (not just mine, heck, probably 100 others before mine). Glad to see you started one for yourself.

Thanks now go comment on it

Next up in line for Swing threads your daughter whose swing frames I see a few pages back.  She looks like she could smash a 5i further than my 3 wood

My kiddo (10 years old, bone age of a six year old, so she's tiny - she'll be fine, she'll just grow until she's 17 or 18 or 19 or whatever…) played in her second tournament today. Her first was yesterday. :)

The Jean Forsyth Tournament is in its 16th year or so. I think it used to be for 10-17 year olds, but for the past several years they've had 9-10 year old age groups.

Natalie (you've seen her swing earlier in the thread) played the first seven holes (starting on #5 tee) today. Seven other girls competed in the 9-10 year old age group.

Natalie played in a threesome, and each of the three groups had an "assistant" (a woman to help them keep score and so on). She's capable of it, but she's a bit advanced, so… :) Her threesome, it turns out, had the top three finishers.

Natalie shot 46. She beat the girl who finished in second by 12 (58). Her 46 is three strokes lower than the previous best score for seven holes in the 9-10 division.

She was happiest to get a plaque AND $20 in pro shop credit. She got the blue hat you can see in the one picture. :)

First and second place.

Natalie's plaque.

The hat she chose and her plaque. :)

P.S. Shorty, to be clear, I'm saying 46 for 7 holes, played from the legit red tees. :D

Yeah, well I'm looking at the non regulation odd socks. One orange and one green.

She can add 2 strokes for each hole she played in those. ;-)

Nice story. :-) Well done!

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

That's the fashion over here these days. I don't like it, but I've come to accept that it is.

Another tournament, another win:

That makes her two for two this summer.

P.S. I don't really like the positions of the golfers in either of her trophies.

Did she win the LPG future star award? Jeez, who made that trophy?

Congrats again. Kind of unfair she gets Golf Evolution lessons whenever though

Yeah, but she has to put up with me the rest of the time.

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
