So here's the question.

When choosing a video clip for analysis should you select your better swings or are you better served by analyzing the crappy swings? Seems to me that you'll potentially learn more from watching your mistakes than watching a good swing.

Ultimately I guess you need to study a mix of both but starting off I assume you'd be better of seeing what you are doing wrong. No point in trying to hide your flaws from someone you're asking to help you.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I think you'll find that there's surprisingly little difference between them.

Just submit an "average" swing.

I've been meaning to ask the same thing, glad you did Ernest.  I always submit my better swings, but after iacas' replyI'll probably be a little less picky.

Yea, there's no difference. You just "find" the golf ball better on your good swings. Pretty much the same sequence of events is occurring.

Was also debating about this.

I had my father tape a couple of my shots on Saturday, but then I looked at the video, I realized I was overswinging (which is an issue of mine, and once I realized it, I hit the ball better for the rest of the round ) so I didn't know if I should post the videos when I already know a big problem. I guess I will anyways.

Don't take my word for it! :) Prove it to yourself. Put your swings in Analyzr or something and you'll quickly see how similar they are. Your first swing, ideally, will be different than your last swing during a practice session, but if you want an analysis on your "typical swing" then you should submit your "typical swing" no? :-D

Just to add, I'm referring mostly to new students, players inexperienced with making changes with a qualified instructor, players who don't film their swing a whole lot, etc. Many experienced students can make two different swings if they want, so I've observed. Just clarifying my opinion.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By dennyjones ·

      I believe that losing a tour card is too extreme but definitely agree that more needs to be done to prevent slow play.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By jxdama ·

      Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.

      A hair under 190. It was pretty downhill, though, so I think we were playing between 180-185 to the pin. My 6 iron went 187 according to shot scope and ended up 18 feet away.

      That's a tough pin on 14 at TR, had to make the hole play much longer, how far was that shot? I've only played that hole with a front pin.
