Hey Guys,

My instructor is doing some swing changes (Of Course). How do you go from slow motion to a quicker speed?

My changes were wrist cocking so shaft is at parallel faster, right forearm on my rib cage and also have the butt of the club for outwards instead of steep.

Welp, you have to learn to walk, before you can run..What I did, and still do is, say for an 8 iron shot, a slow swing would be, from the take away, a count of 1001, 1002, 1003, 1003 being at impact. Of course, you can go even slower if you wanted to. To maintain a nice even tempo, and cadence for my swing, a count to 1002 works pretty well for me.

Also, you can do this with 1/2 and 3/4 shots to get a good cadence. Oh, and helps if you count it out aloud.

Welcome to the site.

I would suggest you just gradually pick up the speed. If you feel like you're swinging at 30% speed when you practice, make some swings at 60%, then some at 80%, etc. When you go to full speed there will be some regression, some of the old habits will still be there but the overall motion will be better.

    • 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.
    • 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.
