Are you?

You've not even provided a video to back up your assertions.


lol I have no video. If you read my earlier posts, I stated from what I have read, but mainly from 2 instructors I took lessons with, was advised to limit the head dipping.

If you watch Rory, you will see the same dip.  Some players use this to generate power.  They push hard off the ground just before impact.  If you want in slow motion, you will see the head return to the setup position.

@nevets88 just posted this video in the link below.  Look at the drop in Rory's head.

And Garcia's. I see a big head drop in my own swing recently and it doesn't bother me.

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

Chance of Heavy Thunderstorms Friday has been bumped up to 100%. Last time I saw a weather forecast like that was at Bethpage Black during the first round (and we know how that turned out).

We need a new rule in golf broadcasting:  Anybody who picks Jim Furyk to win a major (happens every major) gets a horse whipping.

I guess you're an instructor.


I am not, but I have discussed this topic before. I'm not saying you should try to let your head dip or that it's not a potential problem for you, just that it may not be an issue for Tiger. It's not like everyone has to swing the same way.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
