I've been Playing Golf for: 15 years (more seriously for about 6 now)
My current handicap index or average score is: 1.4
My typical ball flight is: high draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push/pull


Videos:

 

 

I didn't get any head on video yet, plan on doing that in the next couple days.  This is from about a month ago.  Been working on some things on the range, and this is where I am at currently.  Not sure why they didn't upload in slow motion, as they were recorded in slow motion.  I will see if I can figure that out too and get the slo-mo ones posted.  Working on getting more through the ball, keeping my head still and rotating around my spine and following through completely...sometimes I get lazy and instead of following through all the way, I stop which hangs the ball out to the right a bit.  Its a work in progress, this is my second season with a draw swing as I have worked hard with the local PGA Professional to get to where I am at.  Was able to get down to a 3.5 index with a fade swing and couldn't seem to shave any more strokes off, but I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel and hope to be scratch by the end of this season.

High speed video available?

I'd take a look at this. The shaft flashes steep very quickly in the downswing, and you swing left a good bit. Look at where the clubhead is in relation to the ball on the right.

Look at my cap.  I suck compared to you.  Hard to say if this is camera illusion or not,  but it's possible you might be underplane in pic 1 and in pic two the clubface has rolled a LOT.  I don't know if it is relevant or not but here's what I was looking at.

His stance is aligned that way too. Bad camera angle on that one.

Strike one.  Here's strike two maybe.  Clubface really rolled over.

It is. I don't know that it's a priority, but it's tough to say with 30 FPS video. The club and body go from one position to something six feet later on…

I will try to record tomorrow at full speed.  I believe these were all taken with slo mo on my iPhone so it would make sense they are low fps.  It's crazy that you point this out, because it feels like I am swinging out to the right...feel isn't real!!  I will head to the range tomorrow or Thursday if I get time and re-record DTL and see if I can get a better angle and better frame rate. 

Thanks Fellas!

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
