My Swing (Ernest Jones)

[Ernest Jones]

Old school Lamkin Crosslines, looking sweet!

[Ernest Jones]

Does this look about right?

Don't know, but I'm quite envious of that red line.  Is this a full speed swing?

Yes. Swing video is here http://thesandtrap.com/t/54175/my-swing-ernest-jones/414#post_947056

Screen capture from the second swing but my A5 is starting to look like this pretty consistently.

It's nice to have a single digit covet anything from my swing! There's still hope for me!

There's always hope, my friend. That's something I constantly have to remind myself

That's the beauty of golf... they can't get that from you. Haven't you ever felt that way about golf?

Well, I try to stay in monkey mode is much as possible, so it means all I'm really looking at in your swing is what I'm working on.  So all I see is a pitchier and lower right elbow, and a shallower angle on the way down with the shaft pointing outside the ball.  So, yeah, it is in my nature I suppose ...

Respect for using no smilies or emoticons in this post. Makes it that much creepier.

Actually, I bet you Dr.Lector would be a great golf instructor if given the opportunity.... can't imagine what he'd say my priority piece was.

Hmmm, that's a good question.  I don't know what he'd say either.  I think I know what Buffalo Bill would say though:

"It places the weight forward at impact."

"OK, mister, just show me how"

"It places the weight forward at impact."

"OK, don't I need a club to practice with?"

"PUT THE ****ING WEIIIIIIIIGHT FORWARD AT IIIIIIIIIIMPACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

LOL!!!!

Maybe Erik and Mike should try that sometime.

"It places the weight forward at impact, or else it gets the hose again."

Ya, pretty creepy stuff to plop down in a brother's swing thread.

I'm just going to put this out there.

I think you should drive down some Saturday morning, work with Dave and I, spend the night across the street, work with us a little bit in the morning, and drive back on a Sunday.

I think some time in March should be good.

You will benefit from a little hands on experience. The process will actually be pretty quick since you already have a good background.

EJ you definitely should do this.  Scratch that, you need to do this buddy.  I'll fire up the weed whacker...;)

It's official!

Heading down to Erie next month for in-person lessons with @iacas and @david_wedzik .

Equal parts Super-Stoked and nervous as hell!

Lotta tough love comin' my way, hope I don't get a concussion...

I think this will really get me over the hump, it's obviously not going to transform me into a single digit player over night but I think it will really accelerate my process. I really like Evolvr but I think it's clear that I need some hands on as I have NEVER taken a golf lesson in my life aside from Evolvr vids. I also think I'll get a LOT more out of Evolvr once David and Erik have had a chance to straighten me out a bit.

Ernest is a Happy Camper.

Now it's off to work to pretend I give a shit!

[David in FL]

Outstanding!

Awesome EJ!  I am super excited for you, and I agree that you need some hands(literally, they will probably be grabbing your ass and stuff ) teaching.  In all seriousness, there is nobody around here that I want to see make the improvements more than you.  You have been working so hard for it and they will do a great job of helping you find the feels needed to improve.  Don't be nervous, they are two of the greatest guys to work with.  Erik is a big teddy bear in real life, give him hugs. lots of hugs. :) Wish I could make the trip out there every year.  Have fun!

Hugs. Gotcha, duly noted.

Maybe EJ will take enough video that it will feel like you are. :)

Oh, that reminds me, should I bring my camera or just something to dump video files on?
