An 'in to in' (DTL) swingpath is asking a lot! Opinions?

The 'In to in' path involves an approach to impact from inside, then straight for 4/10 of a millisecond, and returning immediately to the inside after that. Giving, let's say a + or - 0.5° cushion, this would still be a difficult path to follow for the best of golfers. Adding to this, the factor of difficulty involved for hitting a straight shot from this path would require a square club face. For example, presuming we allowed a 0.5° cushion for both parameters could we identify why a ball is fading slightly using this shot choice. Is it because the path was + or was it the club face or was it both? Or or or. I believe we can mechanise a robotic machine to cover this path proficiently but even with the above cushions in place these perfect parameters are almost impossible for golfers to achieve or repeat.

You are an idiot if you think he was being serious.

This thread has no point. Apparently it's impossible to play good golf. Which explains the golfers in Patrick's videos.

Does this mean pro golfers are robotic machines?

No most pro golfers use the 'in to out' path. They are not stupid enough to create shots using the less controllable parameters.

Whats this 4/10 if a millisecond?

Wrong, the golf swing no matter what goes in to in swing path. At the moment of impact it might be angled outward, but the clubhead will go back inward no matter what.

Also having more outward swing path will give leeway for hitting a draw, if its closer to square then you have no clue if its going to be left or right, it could be significant in that tolerance you specified. But, if you have an outward swing path, then you can draw it with hedging your right to left ball flight. You might hit it lets say 3 yard draw to 6 yard draw, but at least you know your going to draw the ball.

I think 'The Tin Head' would suit you better! LoL [quote name="saevel25" url="/t/57111/an-in-to-in-dtl-swingpath-is-asking-a-lot-opinions#post_699933"] Wrong, the golf swing no matter what goes in to in swing path. At the moment of impact it might be angled outward, but the clubhead will go back inward no matter what. [/quote] On that logic, lets rename all of the paths 'in to in' and discard the O and NBFL. [quote name="saevel25" url="/t/57111/an-in-to-in-dtl-swingpath-is-asking-a-lot-opinions#post_699933"] Also having more outward swing path will give leeway for hitting a draw, if its closer to square then you have no clue if its going to be left or right, it could be significant in that tolerance you specified.

[/quote] That's what I'm saying, a DTL path has parameters that require exactness which drift into unreliability. Except for robots. I have never hit a perfectly straight golf shot, putting aside, intentionally. I shape every shot to a certain degree. Sometimes it comes off darn close to what I planned and other times to a lesser extent or even differently.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
