It's an unfair fight.  You can delete my posts...but...attack me at will.  Must be fun.  And I think others reading these posts are fearful of expressing any opinions after seeing this mob attack.

  • None of your posts have been deleted.
  • You've never been attacked. This is one of the things about which you've lied. Repeatedly.
  • I would wager that others think you're nuts, and you're not worth their time, either.

I'm pretty comfortable with people seeing the original topic and this one and reaching a similar conclusion.

Well I "thought" this forum was an open discussion.    

It is.

In the past, I've posted that I believed a lighter grip was better for me. The operative words being "believed" and "me". Others talked about their grips. Not everyone agreed but no one claimed to have been picked on. THAT, was an open discussion.

And guess what, I've kept an open mind and have tried varying grip pressures. Too loose of a grip is not good... for me. Too tight of a grip is not good... for me.

If you open your mind, you'll see that those advocating a tighter-than-holding-a-baby-bird grip also advocate loose wrists. They advocate holding the club in the fingers not gripping it as tight as possible in the palm of the hands.

I took your completely off topic post, which didn't discuss grip strength, and created a new topic.

All of this was explained in the second post, my post, in this topic. But again, your reading comprehension really appears to be sub-par, so at least you're consistent in having missed that.

As I was typing this I see that @The Committee did his job. Now I can go back to helping people, instead of wasting time saying things ten times over and over again to you.

Whatever...I've been warned...I'm not allowed to defend myself. 

Incapable is a better word. Erik is right in that you’ve unfortunately become a waste of time. I’m sure you won’t read this or if so you won’t get the point but I’m gonna try. An example of how you’ve been responding:

You: I feel my clubhead go just past parallel on my backswing. Helps my rhythm.

Observing Instructor: Ok, but you’re club is about 8” shy of parallel.

You: It’s my feel and it works. I’ve helped others by telling them that and it helps.

Observing Instructor: That’s fine but I’m just saying your club is not just past parallel.

You: Oh....so you’re telling me how to swing my club? I’ve just shown you it works and now you’re attacking me?

Observing Instructor: No I’m just saying what you’re doing. I don’t care what you feel. I care about what you’re actually doing.

You: I see, so I’m a liar and you’re right and I’m wrong. Whatever.

Come on....

Don't tell me what grip pressure to use.  Get off your high horse dude...you are not the grip expert for me.  

 

I extended an olive branch...but that didn't work....because nobody knows anything but you. ...

Breaking news from the obvious desk!  Grip pressure increases at the transition!.  Gee, why's that?  Does it have anything to do with the weight of the club traveling one way while the body is transitioning against the weight the other way?  I don't know...let's look at some charts!  This is more insidious than the "Arm Swing" video. 

I've NEVER had a teacher tell me I'm full of garbage.  In fact, I've had lengthy discussions with them regarding how to tap-into getting folks to "let go", let the subconscious play a role in the golf swing.  Your teachings would be best suited to robots. Plus my pro played in the U.S. Open last year  He has adopted my "insane" accomplishments into his curriculum, and he uses me for demonstrations. He wanted to know if I would be inerested in co-authoring a book with him, and do a series of videos.  But of course he's an idiot...right?

This is what's causing a decline in golf...over-instruction...and bad instruction.  People make livings off "bad golf".  There's so many "guru's" trying to fight for relevance to the point they feel compelled to invent controversial "tips" to generate "clicks" by taking what works, and flipping it to "it might not work".  Then heads explode and the clicks come in.

I don't tell others what to do, how to think, how to feel, I relate my own experiences...in an open forum...or so I thought.  If that makes anyone uncomfortable then I must be hitting home.  Otherwise, I implore folks to go to the range, just let go, relax...just swing, forget all the nonsense.  You already know more than you think you do.

Dude, what are you doing?  I've had plenty of disagreements with @iacas and other people, but you have to know when to just let it go.  Explain your point, counter theirs, see common ground, and leave it alone.  It's not worth extra stress in your life to be this consumed with a forum on the internet.  Go do something with your life and enjoy your family.  Some people need to just stay off the internet.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
