Ok, so this golf thing is pretty hard.

backswing / transition / downswing question:

so i know theres 48,000 tips to improve swing dynamics such as:

a) twitch your left glute westward on impact

b) carry a bearded gecko named ralph in your golf bag

c) whistle your favorite Beiber song whence approaching the tee box.

but - i ve been watching alot of golf lately and i find that some pros rip the club back and tear into the downswing and some really float the club back and almost hang it there before going forward.

whats the pros and cons?

Yeah, well you have learned one thing at least in life: golf ain't easy.  And join the large crowd who share this knowledge. Trial and error works for most of us, some even pay money for lessons. Learn what you can, and do what you like. Enjoy the fresh air and challenges of the small white ball.

Hello Waldo - What I think is whether you swing real fast, real slow or somewhere in the middle,  you gotta have timing.  Yea there's a million tips that are very helpful, but you still gotta have timing.  Nick Price, a fast swinger is probably in and out of the grocery store in 10 minutes.  Jack Nicklaus probably takes 10 minutes in the fruit aisle alone.  But both have great timing.  I think you have to be yourself.  As the great commercial with Arnold Palmer says - " Swing your swing "

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
