How often does your swing repeat?

[J_Bone]

More than I like to admit. Because the repeatable one isn't a good one...

[23Rounder]

Not nearly enough. I have my first lesson in 7 years in the next couple of weeks so hopefully a lot more regularly in the not too distant future!

How often does your swing repeat?

Since virtually every swing I make is different in some way, I could shoot even par and say "never."

Last night at my lesson, I hit 4 or 5 good ones in a row.

I said 50-75%, but I totally get Erik's point, too. I'm always switching between draws and fades, sometimes even on purpose. But I'm going with "repeating" meaning a reasonably close facsimile of the swing I'm intending, whether or not I'm going for a different ball flight on one than the other. Of course, there are days where it's probably more like 10%, and a few (too few) when it's higher. Luckily, golf is a weird game. You can sometimes get good results with a less than perfect swing.

[Spectrums]

Truthfully, I think I repeat mine about 75% of the time EXACTLY.

But I do change my swing for draws and fades.

[gbk56]

100%, but the ball just seems to react differently every time.

actaully I am in the 60% range

I just had several fitting sessions. In each of them, almost every single impact was identical, once the correct lie angle was determined. I had three sessions over a month to make sure the fitting wasn't suspect.

[Diggitydog]

Why would the fitting be suspect?

Why would the fitting be suspect?

Turns out it wasn't. My specs were the same every time. 61.5 deg on the 6 iron. (For those who haven't had the pleasure, clubutters fit by 6 iron, then add or subtract .5 deg in each direction). I was concerned that if it was a great ballstriking day, or a bad ballstriking day, the specs might turn out different each time. Well there was a great day, an average day and a day that started badly, my swing came around in about 5-10 minutes. My specs were the same every time. Shaft specs didn't change either. (not that I thought they would, my concern was lie angle.)

Being slightly compulsive I had it done on every club. Even 5 years later and a slightly different action and nothing has changed. That is because the correct impact position for me is always the correct impact position while the other mechanics may be slightly off. I have heard that they make medication for this.

I picked 73.5% repeating.

I thought of it as more of my tempo and rhythm, I'd say 25-49%, which is a lot better than it used to be.

[Xbmchs12X]

I think im some wehre around the 75-80% range, my ball striking has been really consistent the past few weeks

[Miney]

I picked 25-49. At times my ball striking and technique is really, really good. And others, i couldn't connect with the ball properly if my life depended on it. Golf is a funny game. I think it really has a lot to do with your mindset.
