A main difference between swinging a bat and golf club are the wrists and forearms.They are dong all kinds of things when swinging a club but stable when swinging a bat.The multiple motions of the wrists/forearms swinging a golf club are not understood by the average golfer.

I don't think I recall such a dramatic swing change after a pro has switched instructors.RF looks so much more natural with less contrived actions.This is going to be interesting.I hope RF has good year,he is a solid young man.

cipher......3 questions...1-when you want your weight forward on a chip ,what do you do....2-is that first swing at the range a knock down shot?....3-do you think one piece on the full swing takeaway?...thanks.

Yeah I'm not a ZJ swing fan either but I thought that was your model...maybe not.

Well in 24 hrs you go from a poor swing to a very good one,that is extremely unusual in golf world where we are told swing changes take months.I for one would appreciate a few more specifics....I don't think that is an unreasonable request.

To be honest clearwaterms...if you aren't keeping score ,why not putt the 3' gimme for bogey ?

buckshot....your questions are understandable,but it's also understandable that you should tell us what you did.

..a tour pro hit a ball in front of me...the sound was so different.

I wouldn't want to lose what Johnny Miller had to say about the golf swing while "Sir's" viewpoint makes me hit mute....depends on the pro who is talking.

We don't realize how much we can learn about the golf swing by watching players like you.That turning the wrists over pre-swing drill you are doing is significant especially for us seasoned enthusiasts who may not get help from other body actions.You have a little over the top move and probably a weight shift issue but the wrist/hand rotation is clearly what you sense is needed.If you want I could PM you with something you may want to try.Posting it in the open forum is just too much hassle.

Please give us some details on this quick improvement,it's not something we in golf world see very often.What specifically did you change?

Well Hello Mr golf swing,where have you been hiding...I honestly had to check to make sure I was looking at the same person.....whaaa happened???....seriously!

Time for a reality check as well.

Quote: Because he doesn't just recycle bad information he reads in a golf magazine/book. He shares information based on what the best players do, not what they say they do. mvmac...really!....people are supposed to check in with someone called saevel125 before trusting what Phil or Trevino or Tiger say they do.

I'm about to end my side now.

I am sure that is true ,but are Erik and Mike the only golf pros in the world having success ?Are there no other methods than their's?

I don't happen to agree that your golf instruction is helpful ....in other words similar to how you feel about mine.

Valleygolfer....none of the "my swing" posters whose swings I have commented on have said my views were of less value to them than any other opinions rendered.I did not comment on yours so why are you attempting to speak for others.

ok so you have no credentials other than the golf philosophy you have chosen to follow, imparting it at great length using photos of tour pros as you did with SMOOTHY on the "my swing" thread.I will ask you the same question iacas asked me-why should anyone listen to you and beyond that why would your golf philosophy be more worthy than mine.

saevel125.....are you a golf pro?

There is no reason to listen to me .I am merely voicing my opinion on certain aspects of golf mechanics that I have experimented with along with others I have read about and watched.

Quote: I'm not going to say that. But I will ask that you share your credentials. My credentials are the same as any other non-pro who posts his opinions on this forum.

I will wait for admin. to say stop posting on the "my swing" thread and abide by it.

Mine is not the only voice outside of the admin. that is offering advice.I assume I am addressing thinking golf informed adults.If they don't like what I write ignore it.

Has someone found the secret to the golf swing? What I write I believe to be true and is not at all removed from you will find written by others.What I write is completely orthodox just not commonly said.I quote the top people in golf and I'm still disparaged.
