So here is my swing.



Do you think the advice I have given over the years shows up at all in the swing I am making?

Equipment, Setup, Finish, Balance, and Relax. All equal in importance and all dependent on each other. They are the cornerstones of a good golf swing.

Its definitely a confident swing, but it also looks a tad uncomfortable, quite 'squat' at address, with body behind the ball and hands ahead of the ball, just looks a little bit awkward.

But can't knock it if it works and over all it's a solid swing.

I haven't read that much advice from you. Hope I do. Your lines are great and so is your rhythm. Love that waggle, too.

All that is missing is a twirl at the end. Nice move, I don't doubt your scratch status. What are your aspirations in golf?

You want your body behind and your hands ahead of the ball.

Ringer you have a great swing it looks like you have spent a lot of time building it to where it is. Good athletic setup with a nice full turn.

Any swing in the middle of January is nice to me.

Your swing looks like it can hit good shots to me, which isn't surprising. If there's one thing I could pick out (I'm fishing for it a bit), it would be that it looks like your sliding a bit on the downswing.

The best part about your swing is how athletic your setup is. It looks like all you have to do from there is push a button. I am a little confused though, why are you doubting your swing anyway?

For everyone else, I don't think the 0.0 represents a 0 handicap - it stands for "professional," i.e. no handicap. He's a teaching professional.

Didn't mean it was wrong, just meant he looked a bit uncomfortable

Still a nice swing though.

See, sliding is what I do not ever want to do..... But, now that I have watched his video on his, he is really not sliding at all. He has more of an angled push.

Ringer, you have the model swing to which I'm trying to achieve. I've read much of your advice here at the ST and I'd have to say that it fits the swing in your video to a "T."

Regards,

Mark

      Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.

      Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.
