I need to, I just hurried and got that video. I wish my right handed bs looked like that lol and the transition lol.

Thanks!!!! It looked a lot better than it felt. I need to work on my hip action through impact.

A born "Natural"

Other than lower body and footwork being slightly stagnate, much better than I could ever swing LH.

I'd probably resemble a "lame duck making a crash landing" swinging left handed.........

I'm going to work on my lefty swing, it will take some work to improve the down swing pivot. I'm definitely getting a few left handed clubs to start working on it. I'm going to use the same MOrAD principles.  Thanks!

Every one of those looks better than my normal swing....  :8)

This is a lot of fun too, so let's see if we can't resurrect the challenge a bit, for those who haven't tried it yet!

As other people have mentioned, looks better than it feels.

so I'll start by saying most of you guys have a better "opposite swing" than my usual, so this is ugly:

My putter is of an older blade style where the back part is slightly lofted as well. I read Ping does this design to allow for left-handed chips when the ball is up against something, to avoid unplayable penalties. (Im right handed so cant get at the ball)

I've only had to do this type of chip twice in the last year.

Little draw. About 145, 8I.

Some people have said my right-handed swing is nicer than my left.

I tried to switch hands but I had a minor injury involving my shoulder that stopped me.
