Shawn, I'll say this slowly so that you can understand: Your slow turning rates are leading to your elbow getting too

Set up with your hips a bit more where the white line is. You're a little back in your heels, so you re-balance toward the balls/toes of your feet a bit.

Cheers to you as well! But, I can't claim it.  I actually picked it up watching one of Ben's swing videos. http://thesandtrap.com/u/16/Ben I thought it was a great way to add some visu

Yeah, he does have a pretty long swing thread, eh?  I have no idea where in there he got the nickname, just that I think that pelvis move is where it came from.

I try not to miss any opportunities to crack wise with him. :)

Goat Humper... I think that came out in the very first page... Definitely by the second.  I thank Stretch for that nickname. And I'm trying to tackle this flaw - once and for all right now.

"Meh" because of the contact or picture?

Meh because:

1.) I still have a bowed wrist at A4.

2.) Head is still coming off the wall at A7.

3.) Right arm is still over flexing a touch.

I hit some solid shots when I focused on getting my weight on my left foot at address (S&T; feel).  When I don't get that weight on my left foot at address (60/40ish)... I find my low point is often fat.

No. Those appear fine.

I want to see the sequencing of some things. Right elbow trajectory and timing, hand path, hips/knees. All A4 to A6.

I'll get to the course later this week and re-film from the DTL, Caddy and Posterior.

Mike does that DTL setup look better with the camera?  I tried to move it left.  Please let me know if you think I need to move it further left or if it was acceptable.  Looks like I could get closer with the camera on the Caddy.

Looks better for sure.  Erik, how does that look to you?  Camera almost makes everything look like you're looking into a bowl.

Shawn, can you adjust the zoom on the lens?  I don't know much about these cameras but I checked their webiste and couldn't tell.  It's set at a really wide angle (10mm maybe??) and I'm wondering if its adjustable?  If it is, get it as close to 50mm as you can.  That's your standard portrait, no distortion either way, distance.

Yeah the fisheye effect is something that is a known issue with the wide angle lens found on the GoPro Hero 3 POV camera.  It can be tweaked by using editing software like Creative Suite from Adobe... But that is a $600 set of software that I don't have, nor want to buy.  So unfortunately, it still has that issue.  If anyone knows of an easy way to eliminate fisheye using the GPH3... Please let me know.

I dunno.  I'll need to look into the camera settings to see if I can figure it out.  This is my first real camera that I really cared about.  So I guess I should learn the lingo and how to use it?  All my other cameras have always been point and shoot cameras with auto zoom, etc for portraits.  So I didn't really need to play with any of the settings - or care to learn any of the settings.  But with this new GPH3... I'm probably missing some setting to reduce the effects of the fisheye??

Yes. Just set the field to narrow and not wide. :) Even "narrow" isn't particularly narrow.

P.S. 240 constrains it to "wide," btw. So in 240 FPS mode, no, you can't change it.

Yeah I was just looking at that... 240fps is fixed at wide.

Ok, crisis adverted.  Adobe Photoshop Premiere Elements 9.0 - a friend hooked me up with CS2, and I was able to install and edit my video accordingly.  Here is the video without the Fisheye.

      2024 TST Outing - June 1/2 @ EagleSticks and Virtues

      By saevel25 ·

      @Hardspoon and I will have to discuss it over for the next one. 😛    Just to give a short review of the courses.  NorthStar is a pretty good course. The condition is good. There was a couple of meh holes (#16 and #18 specifically). Nothing really stood out as amazing. Yea, probably like a 6/10.  Eaglesticks, I think from tee to green is really interesting. Some of the greens, more so pin positions were a bit crazy. Like, if you slightly missed you would have a putt that could not stop with in 15-Ft of the hole. Maybe a 5.5/10 something around there.  The Virtues, still good as ever. In really good condition. Being it is in a similar part of the state as Eaglesticks, it shares the same hilly terrain. Eaglesticks is more compact, so it might have more extreme slopes. While the Virtues is on a larger property and was more selective in where the holes were built. The green complexes at The Virtues seemed fairer than Eaglesticks. Still, I think a very good public course that can challenge you to hit a good tee shot. The approach shots are interesting. I still think I would recommend people make the trip to play if they haven't done so. Probably a 7/10.
