Can't embed in mobile version I think, so here's the link. Wish the angle was better but still cool to see. To quote from the movie Signs, "Swing away!"

All 3 look fairly natural.

I would say Phil is cheating because he's a right handed person playing left handed!!

From the article I read, Ricky was the only one to make it on the green. I bet there was money on the line if Phil was in that group. :-P

I'm a right-handed person who plays lefty, and I can barely swing a club from the right side. (Granted, I can barely swing from the left side, either, but still...) DJ left-handed looks like a fader.

This was fun to watch. Nice swing Ricky!

I did this the other day because I'm still not sure which side to swing, equally bad at both.

It looks like right handed gives you a better follow through.

Yeah I've been playing right handed for a full year and just started trying left so righty is more comfortable right now. Time will tell, but it looks like I'll probably stay right handed.

Are you left handed? I am for pretty much everything. The only reason why I am ambidextrous is because my parents and teachers made me use right hand. So, I fumbled through life till I broke my wrist at 13 only to discover that I am actually left handed.

When I started playing almost 4 years ago, I played right handed. I switched about 2 years ago, and immediately felt more power. Now, I can't even swing right handed. My entire sequence is all messed up when I try.

Good luck figuring it out. Use the side that feels more natural. We need more lefties, anyway. ;-)

I'm right handed, but I play hockey and baseball left handed. So naturally I can putt just fine left handed, the only thing really holding me back is chipping/pitching. Right handed is wayyyyyy better than left in that regard.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
