Following on from my lesson last night, and from my thread

http://thesandtrap.com/forum/thread/44898/thinking-of-dropping-my-woods-carry-only-irons-and-driver

Here are some videos from that session.

This is my first time hitting balls with the new swing so I need to practice what I have changed so far...

Head back on centre line (to far forward) my hands were to close to body so they are further out under my chin, also worked on taking the head of the club away (as in low to the ground) to widen the swing, weight shift correction, all of this due to getting into a very bad habit, reverse pivot!

Impact (looks the same position as setup other than head has dropped)

Sorry about the darkness but the bays are enclosed.

Please give me some feedback guys

Overall the swing looks pretty good but in my opinion, you need to work on more tilt to the left and better spine flexion in order to keep the head steadier...too much movement. Also a straighter right arm longer after impact wouldn't hurt either

Cheers, can you explain what you mean by "more tilt to the left"

I agree though, I noticed the head movement from the videos and also that my arms go saggy at the end of the swing.

    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
