I saw my swing I video for the first time this week. I would post it here but for some reason the forum won't recognize the file type. What I saw is at impact my hands are ahead of my upper and lower body. The grip is pointing at my back sholder and from what I've seen its supposed to be pointed at mt front. Any help fixing this would be great I think it's why I hit my irons high and I hit a pull fade.

Post it on youtube then here. Sounds like you flip and come over the top though.

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

That's not really a question anyone can answer.

Flipping is lining up the shaft with the lead arm prior to impact with the golf ball.

You're an evolvr student?

Post a My Swing thread. Odds are your downswing is not where you want to focus right now. You're probably doing something in your backswing that cascades into a series of compensations throughout the downswing.

I can vouch for that... unfortunately.

Mike is right.

YouTube is pretty accepting. Just make sure perhaps that it has an extension. I've never had a problem uploading anything to YouTube. Full list here: http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts;=2888402&page;=ts.cs .

Like my swing ... yes - still doing what you and Mike asked me to do. When I feel I'm waivering, I video, gag, and get back on course.

Yeah, that's why I asked. Scroll up. You'll figure it out. ;)

Edit: Okay, you didn't figure it out. Mike hasn't posted in this thread. I said that.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
