You asked for it, OP delivered. Here's three clips of my golf swing, two irons, one driver. Let me know what you think. Will post more soon!

Welcome, and kudos for posting your swing so soon. For future reference, here's a link on how to best film and post videos to the site. That'll allow the instructors to give you the benefit of their expertise and show areas of strength and opportunity..... http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing

Just curious, how can you tell?

I can tell that this a not a swing that will post a 73, just 3 weeks after he started playing golf. Either the OP is lying that he only started playing 3 weeks ago, or he is lying about his score. It takes more than 3 weeks to start hitting the ball consistent enough with a half-decent swing before you can start shooting in the 70's.

Thanks for posting the swing looks good.  Would like to see these swings directly from behind.  By the way I love OP's confidence.

And how can anyone look at his swing and say "oh he is not a +4, he is a +9?"  LOL

Let me add this:  being that he is 14 let's ignore the fact that he thinks his swing looks like Tiger's.  Just leave it be as schoolyard talk.


Thanks for the kind words mate, it's nice meeting someone like you every now and then.  You're right, to win tournaments scoring in the low 70's is vital. I'm from NorCal, which is a HUGE golf center. I play through JGANC.. thanks for the luck. I am trying out for the golf team in high school, and I believe they are directly after Christmas. Cheers!

It seems like all of CA is a huge golfing center. Best of luck helping your team make it to the CIFs. :-)).

Swing looks a bit erratic to me, it's nice to hit big kiddo, but it's more important to hit well!

If you blacked up ya face a bit, cut ya hair, grew taller, and worked out, only then would you even start to resemble T-Dog!

Good ol' T-Dog! He pumps iron like my grandma pumps magnesium. Lawl hahaha.

I played from years 4-9.. quit for 5 years.. now I'm back. I'm still wired.

Thanks man, and right back at you! Thanks for wishing our team to the CIFs, that would be awesome. I think we can make it.. we have a couple of real good players this year.

Did you not look at my screenshots showing step-by-step analysis of me and Tigers swing?

Bro you seem to keep forgetting that I said I've been playing for 5 years, quit for 5, now I'm playing again. I'm wired for the sport.. the first day I went out I shot an E through four holes and was hitting the ball consistently. It was all just flowing back to me very fast. I take it as you're an adult and don't know that feel.. but I'm 14.

I see similarities between you and Tiger - you are both holding a club, and you hit a ball with it, but you have Adam Scott's move covered 100%.

Probably not what you want to hear, given that Tiger is no 1, but there it is.

Just curious - what is it about Tiger's swing that you think you have managed to emulate? I'm not seeing it.

And your "jive talk" is annoying to everybody. If you seriously want help, you won't get it.

This is a good example of why a lot of instructors don't like using video.

The difference between reality and what the player feels are poles apart, quite often.

And this guy only wants to believe what he wants to believe. He won't change.

The attitude sucks more than the swing.

He has been hoist by his own petard.

Adam Scott is trained by Butch Harmon. Tiger Woods was trained by Butch Harmon.

Yush. Except for the 4 handicap. That's just what I've been shooting in the past 4-5 rounds. I didn't want to put a handicap because I'm a scratch player at this point without an official one, but it was required so I just gave the average jist of what I've been shooting the past week.

Cheers!


And with that, I'll move on.

    • 12/24/2024 So Christmas Eve we hosted the family. But I still found some time before and some time after to get some solid mirror work in. Yay!
    • Day 85 - 2024-12-24 Practiced for 90 minutes (which probably means I hit about 60 golf balls). No launch monitor, but plenty of aids and feedback.
    • So got fitted in a 35" Odyssey Microhinge Double wide 'blade' yesterday at GG. Choice was between it, SQ to SQ, LAB DF3, Rose Axis and Mizuno Craft  (also a double wide). Apparently I'm pretty good a aiming right of the hole consistently regardless of putter type. But it all came down to distance control and the insert feel. We hit puts in the putting area for the fitting but then ended up on the aisle carpet to hit long 40ish feet putts. Which is where the Microhinge did the best for my stroke. The Mizuno was a close second. The DF3 and Axis weren't bad either but I just felt really confident over the Microhinge and slightly soft but firm contact resonated so well. FWIW, I wanted to like the lie-angle balanced putters more than I did and was prepared to spend a bit. I guess putting is the individualistic aspect of our game. Hopefully, I didn't leave anything on the table. Anyone who knows my putting knows I need all the help I can get.
    • The driver swing honestly feels good. Haven't played in a/the course for a bit but did pretty good at the sim place yesterday.  The idea has been to reduce twisting shaft instinctively at impact. For this have weakened left hand grip considerably. Pushed higher up in the hollow of the palm to take out index finger and thumb in pressure application which is a major are major contributors of shaft twisting at impact. On the flip side, right hand grip is way down in the lower part of the middle fingers. Not using index or thumb much at all. It also is designed to prevent getting underneath the shaft too much at impact. More of a float-loady  'paint the ball' feel through the ball. Overall address and neutral grip keeps both lead and trail sides on respective sides of the shaft instead of over or underneath the shaft. It seems it allows/promotes moving the shaft/club unit in unison with wrist/elbow/shoulder joints similar to an elephant swinging it's trunk. It does not feel like I am guiding the club path or trying to control club face at all. Fairly organic. Playing TPC Sawgrass in about a month. Will see how it all holds up. I hear its a good test.. heh.
