Been watching the Irish Open. Jeev Milkha Singh takes it way outside, then just as you expect him to super loop it back for an in to out Furyk he takes it way out to in on the downswing. To add to the weirdness, he has straight legs at address, then flexed at impact. It's like a bizarro-world golf swing. I'm amazed how well he plays with this motion.

It's all about how contact is made at the ball and consistency. I truly think people get too hung up on the inside to out swing path...

What are you talking about ?!?!?!? No such thing as a push draw... I think you are referring to a push-hook or shoestring hook.

Uh... no. Stock shot for S&T; is a push-draw.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the topic at hand, though, so let's get back to that, okay?

I thought it was a push-hook or shoestring hook. I'm left handed and my ball flight starts out left of my target line and hooks back in. Well, ok... I guess draws back in makes more sense. I really need to buy the book so I can understand the terminology...

I remember watching the Villegas brothers on a Playing Lessons and they were asking Manuel about the fact that many believe his swing is superior to Camillo's....his response was...."I think the golf swing is very overrated"

That, my friends, is some very interesting food for thought.

Did he mean his brothers or the golf swing in general?  If he's talking about the golf swing in general: mind = blown

I know. [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zbrMkcwLo8[/video] Look at how rotated he is at impact. He holds a flying wedge for a long time on the follow through.

Kostis likes to say "Gamecocks". Gainey's swing is like a more powerful version of the Furyk. Gainey starts moving his hips forward so early in the backswing (around P2.5), and as you mentioned, holds the flying wedge really well.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 1: 2/26/2025: So, I'm starting over on this again.  My son brought home the mother of all flu bugs from school. It raged though our house and knocked me on my butt for about 3 days.  Now, that I think I'm clear of the death plague my son gave me. I was able to rise early this morning and get some nice mirror work in. I felt stiff like a board for the first few swings, but loosened up and was able to get at least 20 minutes of first robotic slow swings and then gradually more fluid swings.  My focus was on the timing and fluidity of my priority pieces.

      I use a MagSafe connector on my tripod. Occasionally I use those clips.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      Working on some swing videos. What are you guys having the best luck with as far as devices used to record the swing?  I have a tripod with a magnet that I stick my phone on but it is somewhat of a pain because I have to remove the cover on my phone and when I pull it off the magnet the tripod head changes and moves position. I was thinking something more like an ipad maybe. On a different style tripod and maybe even set it up to mirror to a tv.
