Yeah, so that's me.  Short arms through impact, with zero extension of the arms.  Looking like this it makes it VERY difficult to do anything other than swipe at the ball.  For me, I think it's caused by my penchant for goat humping.  Arms have to shorten if I'm humping or else the club will slam into the ground.

Anyone else have trouble with the T-Rex arms?

Yup.

:8)

Thanks to the magic of 240fps I'm also painfully aware that I look like a man backing away from rabid racoon at impact.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I hope its a little cool for our outing in a couple of weeks, and that Mike brings the camera.  I am going to blow your mind (and @cipher 's and @Ernest Jones ') when I show up in a different sweater.

"Wait ... GD owns TWO sweaters?!?!?!?!?"  You damn right!!

@colin007 you should start a swing thread!!!  (But don't wear those shorts.  Also, don't be green.)

Are you bending too much in your knees or putting too much bend in your waist/hips? It sounds like that could be an issue that causes your "arm crunch". Also, being a T-Rex would kind of suck. You can't make a bed, you can't play golf, etc. Lol.

I went to the range today and just told myself to extend the arms all the way through, it seemed to feel different, but without video I can't know if there was any change... I like the mental image of throwing the big rock as far and high as I can, that's what I was picturing.

Funny because we call the guys that never buy a round T-Rex because their short little arms can never get to their pockets to pull their wallets out!

I've got a friend like that... Either he doesn't pull the wallet out, or he's only got $100s and doesn't want to break one.

      My Swing (TheMightyOz)

      I have fought shoulder issues and seem to now have a pull/baby fade going on.  Not a great video, but are these numbers ok or should i try to get in to out.  I've realized this winter my concept of in to out was wrong in that what felt in to out was actually just the face being open to get it right.  The first one was rushed the second one is more typical.  Minor pull or if the numbers line up baby fade back to target.

      2026 Masters

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I suppose Rory will indulge in a bit of guilty pleasure giving Bryson some of his own medicine. Saw a piece of Rory's interview on some documentary about last year's Masters where BDC was still trying to game/mess with him long after he had stopped being a factor. At least that was Rory's perspective. Dude's a huntn dog and a storyteller. I'm going to enjoy this one knowing the end even more so than last year. And yeah, I know it's only half way through but Im early celebrating this one.
