I guess I did things backward. I'll try to start over.

Typically, I jumped in with both feet after I signed up, and didn't give due regard to familiarizing myself with the site first. It's just that I saw something which stirred passion...I couldn't help it :blink: . I should have given the owner the courtesy of reading his intro material though, so shame on me. It's pretty neat for someone to go through all the headaches involved in running such a site, and the least courtesy newcomers can offer is to read the guidelines. I apologize for being rude.

So hello everyone. This appears to be a great site for discussing the golf swing, which is my passion. I'm a swing junkie. I do have views which will be controversial, and which will challenge the accepted norms. I don't shy away from that. If that is a problem, I will not be accepted here. We'll see how it goes. I would hope that I can make some friends along the way. If at any time the owners would rather I not post here, I would appreciate the courtesy of being told straight up, and I'll leave. I'm trying to learn tact when expressing my views. I'm sure to fail on occasion, but I am trying.

I'm on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, on the Gulf coast of Alabama; born and grew up in Pensacola Fl. I'm 65 yrs of age. I have been developing a particular swing for many years which I call "Pure and Simple Golf Swing". The results I have been getting lately tell me I am on the right track. "My Swing" was posted prematurely, I think as an attempt to keep me out of a train wreck on another thread. :~( I'm fine that it is posted however. It's already created quite a lively discussion. I'm here in part to test my theories and findings against your critique. So bring it on!

I'm not trying to sell anything. I have no plans but to continue developing this swing, and record the whats and whys on youtube. Will I ever try to sell something? If a book is feasible one day, I'll sell it. On the web, I plan to freely give it all. That's my thinking at present. I primarily want to get it organized in legible fashion before I die. If I continue to get similar results (and document them for proof), I will know that I have something of value to contribute to this alluring game of golf.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
