My Swing (tim31x)

[tim31x]

Hey guys,

Figured I would show you what I've been working on this winter. Bringing back the power fade off the tee so I can hopefully find some more fairways, its been working out so far. Just to preface my swing speed is typically 123 average with the driver and about 105 with my 6i, I play to a 1 handicap, and this video was shot at Rhode Island College where I'm a member of the golf team.

What is your typical miss?  What is the miss you hate the most?

[tim31x]

This is me working on hitting a power fade which usually fades about 8-10 yards with the driver for me. I'd say my typical miss with this is just the shot that doesn't fade back, not quite a pull but just the straight shot. I recently worked back to the fade as my stock shot with the driver because I was having a lot of blocks or quick hooks when playing for the draw due to getting stuck.

Hi, gotta say the swing looks good and definitely fits the pattern you're seeking of a fade.  The only thing I would recommend is the right hip being a little deeper on the backswing, looks a little restricted.

Good player choice for the side-by-side!

thanks for the replies guys, believe it or not I have never even considered my swing being compared to angel cabrera. thanks for giving me the model and the suggestions. by "deeper" hip I assume you mean more hip rotation on the way back?

[mvmac]

Yes Tim, little more rotation

Hey guys,

Just a few updates on my swing. Been putting in some work over the summer/fall and its paying off on the course.

Anything you don't like with some of your shots?  What's the miss you want to get rid of or lessen?

[tim31x]

I'd say my typical miss is a spinny cut. A lot of it is because I do have a steeper angle of attack. It will creep in every now and again but it isn't necessarily a huge miss maybe 5-8yards right of topic.
