Being 6"3 i like the tempo of ernie (doesn't every one) and the positioning of Stenson. Both hit it a mile but Ernie has a lot of control something that Stenson has developed in the last 2 years

Aaron Baddeley because I am TRYING the stack & tilt swing. I lost some form at the end of last year and felt it was worth trying and experimenting with it. Live in MI and will wait and see once the snow melts, hopefully soon.

I like to think that my tempo is like Ernie Els. But, I can't see it

Over the years I've tried emulate the swings of different golf pros to help with the mechanics of my own swing. Have you ever hit a really bad shot then tossed a ball on the ground and just stroked a perfect shot. Why couldn't I just do that the first time? It happens all too often for me. I've adopted the Brandt Snedeker routine lately. Just step up and hit the ball before your brain gets too involved and screws it all up. It's doing wonders for my game.

How about you? Do you have a Pro's swing in mind when you play?

I don't try to emulate anyone, I just go up, take a practice swing to get the feel that I want, and hit.

Most of the time it works, sometimes it doesn't. lol

I coulda sworn I left the cart right here......

The only thing I try and work on is the good connection and rhythm that Adam Scott has throughout his swing.

As the new commercial by Mr. Palmer says "swing your swing". Nothing more, nothing less..... After all I could attempt to have Bubba's or Phil's swing (as I'm a lefty) but even if I succeed in doing that... The results won't be the same

An attempt to swing just like anybody else would be an exercise in futility for me.

I do look at the general mechanics in a swing that looks like something I could physically do and try to incorporate some of those mechanics into my swing.

Emulating something short with little wrist cock (like J.B. Holmes and Steve Stricker) have helped.

If I ever got my front arm in the position Bubba Watson gets his at the top of the back swing it would mean I was in some sort of accident and would need to be rushed to the hospital.

      When does a 'non-conforming' club become just another piece of metal or plastic?

      My Swing (Retoid)

      By retoid · Posted

      This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.

      Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
