For this thread post your "opposite" swing, so if you're a righty, post a swing of yourself lefty. Try to swing as fast as you would normally from your usual side.

Here's Erik and I swinging lefty.  Might be tough to see in high speed but Erik is swinging at a pretty good speed here.  I'm a bit slower If you don't have a lefty or righty club, just flip a wedge over like Erik and I are doing here.

I'll film one at my next range session if I remember. I won't try it in the basement as I'd probably break a couple lamps and put a hole in the drywall if I tried :-P

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Obviously, I'm just kidding, as I am jealous of how good your "opposite" swings are (mostly Erik's - no offense Mike!).  Can't wait to film myself next time at the range and post it here. :)  This thread is going to be mostly hilarious!

I just tried a practice swing in my basement, took me about 7 minutes to figure out how to grip the club LOL. Had to go back and forth a few times to get it remotely like a proper overlap. I'll definitely post one from my next range session. Can't be much worse than my regular swing

Driver LH!  You win! c2_beer.gif I'm afraid I will shank it and kill someone if I try this at the range.

Lol. Yeah me too, scared I'll hit it about 18" fat and snap the sucker in half. The fact that it's upside down does not inspire confidence. :-P

Yeah no offense taken, Erik's lefty swing is really good, seriously think he should get a lefty set and see what he can do.

Doesn't look nearly as goofy as it felt ...

And perhaps I need to work a little bit on my balance ...

And if the video is too shaky, it's cuz the wife was laughing at me while filming. :)

It's also done at about 21 MPH. I guess I'm proud of the fact that my swings are done with SPEED. Dave's… not so much.

Anyway, c'mon guys, let's get some more updates! Where are your swings?!?! :)

I was gonna record one yesterday but my camera battery died. I tried a few just for kicks and man was that ugly LOL. I'll record one at my next range session for sure.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
