The first picture of stackman and pro 1st pic. Both have head over right foot, hands and shaft points to left knee. He is striking more to trail side. The second I'm releasing around myself because of where I stabilized, he's going more targetward because of where he stabilized. I never said it's pretty but a wise man told me "what happens after impact is irrelevant ". It's only a counterbalance or reaction to precedent force. To those who dislike my 3/4 backswing ever heard of JB Holmes. 3/4 and goes a mile. I guess he'll never do much.

I can sink your feet in concrete, and you'll be plenty "stable".  But you'll never generate any power...

I'm inline at impact. I really appreciate all the positive feedback from some asking questions. To all the positions gurus, I'm not looking for a swing coach. I know it works. Am I super flexible, no. Is my swing pretty, no. I'm the kind of guy needing this. I'm long enough to play any course and enjoy it. My short game,  putting and long game revolve around a few simple concepts. That's what golf needs, not more still pics being picked apart of  a swing  that can be taught simply and help handicaps drop. If you need me I'll be on most repeatable move in golf. Don't worry it's not a business it's YouTube. Adios 

really positive forum even from being "allowed " to take part but we're watching you. 

This is why Golf can't grow.

That's the opposite of stable there, IMO.

Maybe with the ball well back in your stance, and about a 10-11° launch angle with your 4-iron.

You're an 8 index…?

Nobody's being negative. I've seen people asking you questions. People asking you to demonstrate or explain some things.

Not sure what the main point is, but all I can get out of it is simply "keep your eye on the ball" .  Other than that, "There is no there, there...."       From what I can observe from the static photos his weight is on the trail foot, little transfer.  If the object is to keep a consistent contact point, this is governed by how you set up and the natural bottom of the swing arc without manipulation of arm length.  As for whether or not it works for the OP, we can only take his word for it and if so, great.

Not unlike other posts in the past that went on and on and regardless of people genuinely trying to help, seemed to end up with the OP going into Charlie Brown mode :  "Why's everybody always pickin on me".  Now, NOT saying that is necessarily what is happening here, only in that there is similarity and it reminded me of the other thread(s).

@JoeB from Tennessee, thanks for posting your swing and an explanation video.

Do you have any Trackman data to share? Path, dynamic loft, smash factor?

With your impact position, I would think your smash and dynamic lofts numbers have some room for improvement. 

I agree with @No Mulligans pics, basically every good player is inline at or just after impact (shaft inline with their lead forearm). You reach inline well before impact. This is what I would call a "stable" impact.

Your butt looks excessively tucked under. Its a weak position for the lower back...

Its not just about reaching positions for the sake of looks. There are obvious mechanical advantages with most "pretty" positions.

? - it's all about stabilizing and swinging down the eyeline.

Congratulations on swinging your swing. But a model for others? I mean, I've seen a lot of models and methods over the years by people who have spent years working in golf with others and intense study. Like I said, Congrats on finding something that works for you. Keep on studying.

I think it's releasing down the eyeline.  Just not sure what that means.  Not sure I even want to know...

I think there's a difference between 'what works for you' versus 'what works.'

For ex, when I putt, I look at the putterhead thru the stroke instead of the ball. It works for me, but I don't necessarily think it would work universally.

This is more-or-less my thought on the matter. Supposing the 8 HI is legit, it's way better than I do. It's better than the majority of people I play with. Teaching your individual swing to the general populace is another thing altogether. I've had buddies that think they should tell me what to do because they generally card a lower number than I do. Never mind they cheat like hell. What works for them, doesn't work for me.

Didn't watch the video, but the stills above do look funny.

Jim Furyk is US Open champ. He has a swing that works fantastically well for him. But I don't see him, or anyone, advocating standing real close to the ball, looping the club outside & off-plane on the backswing, drop it inside & drastically get the hips out of the way in order to make room for the arms to get thru the ball.

    • Day 534, April 18, 2024 Practice before lessons today. Priority piece. No sim this time. 🙂 
    • I’ve recently started KBs too and really enjoy it. I have one day of armour building complex and one day of a mobility routine. Adding in a speed training day too.    which routines do you do @Elmer
    • Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!
    • What @DeadMan said. From the satellite it looks like there's tall grass to the right, long of the fairway post-dog-leg. But left it just looks like regular rough all the way to the neighboring tee boxes. If that's true I'm aiming left edge of the green and bombs away every time, hoping for a 30-70 yard up and down opportunity.
    • What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.
