Something about chopping a tree with an axe.

That band is a great aid for what your talking about. And the the elbows down is really the only way you can keep your forearms close together. This is in front of you thru your turn with your upper body. After that some separation where the ares go back further. Think of having your arms out in front of you and gripping the club with your hands facing down instead of up. Hope that makes sense.

You can see I retweeted 5SK DOI Dennis Sales' tweet. Funny. :)

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Brandel is so proud of being ignorant

That is a very good way to put it.  I watched a good bit of this show, and while it may or may not be very informative**, it was mostly entertaining.

There was one part (at least) that fit your description perfectly.  Brandel made a comment (derisively) about how you need lag to create distance, and then laughed condescendingly, and followed it up with something like "isn't that what everybody says NOWADAYS?"

Regardless of whether or not what he said was accurate, he just seems to have a hatred (can't think of a better word right now) for advancements in teaching.  He sounded like such an ass.  I think he thinks that everything that ever needed to be known about golf was known by Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus.  There is no way that anything they thought thay did was wrong, and anybody who suggests there might be a better way is an idiot.

** I watch a lot of the instruction shows on TGC, but not really for any tips ... I just like to watch really, really good golfers swing.  It looks so gosh dang easy when they play. :)

I watched about five minute of his driver segment.  I liked what he was explaining about his grip.  I pretty much have the same grip now as well, so I thought it was interesting.  We changed the grip at the end of this past season.  I did not really ask why, I just said OK...hey if it works, it works.  Now I understand a bit more why it actually helps my miss.   I thought the show other than that was pretty mediocre though overall.

Too bad the Golf Channel doesn't see that..I noticed B.C. seemed to give the stack and tilt a little rub in his conversation with Paul re: being on your left side, maybe I was reading more into Brandel's speak than I should have. In the end, he really shouldn't be on t.v. imho.

I think he's fine as long as you understand he's there for entertainment.  He's there to be a little outrageous and ruffle a few feathers.  "Boring" people don't last long on TV ;-)

Well played Erik...well played..LOL

Bah, I just noticed that I was either autocorrected to "area" or made a typo. Grrrrr.

I'm proud of my hashtags, though.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
