Definitely prefer to walk. It's so much more relaxing to walk the fairways enjoy the architecture of the golf course and not to mention to use the money saved on other golf things. I also can't forget about the three strokes or so I save while walking lol.

The spin out was definitely increased due to the shoes. This day at the range I was hitting straight shots and push draws. Couldn't really complain about flight today but even when I'm hitting them good I'm trying to continue to work on making my bad shots not that bad. After watching the video though the next big thing is opening my stance a little bit some I'm squared. I tell you though I definitely don't feel like I'm as steep as I once was. I'm going to the course tomorrow to see what I got.

Been getting my swing together been too lazy to post new video but finally got a new video for everyone to comment on how we looking now?
-
Also I'm using a gorilla arms tripod that I strap to my bag. Is there a better way to set it up?
-
Just got a Zi8 and I'm trying to use it to record my swing but I have to set it up so far away. I tried to set it up in portrait mode its extremely blurry am I missing some thing?
-
I'm ready to make the switch. After giving up on my swing due to consistent issues I'm making the switch. Now I want to know where should I start with learning the swing? Do I get the book or are there videos that teach it better.

After a couple disaster rounds with my Driver I've been working on staying on my left side throughout my swing. This has done wonders for my driver I'm now hitting 75% of my fairways when I go out. But now a new issue is here. I can't hit my irons worth a darn I'm hitting fat shots and just can't get the crisp contact I'm use to getting. The feel that I try to get when setting up is a reverse k which helps me hit the inside portion of the ball. Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Question regarding hitting down and "trapping"
thenormankid replied to ERdiesel's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
So how do you break the hit down habit without hitting the ball thin? Should you focus on hitting the ball on the middle of the clubface? -
How does one flatten the downswing? The backswing isn't as bad as I thought and I've always thought about flatten the downswing to eliminate the steep swing but everyone talks about flatter backswing when I try to drop my arms I'm hitting everything fat.

New Videos Face On : DTL:

The feel and the swinging inside myself are the two things I've noticed as well. Can't wait to get on the course with this to put it to the test during a round.

Been working hard on my game for this season and I've been improving and making changes. The next change involves a basic: THE GRIP. I've been having a problem throwing at the ball with my right. Just for fun I switched from a interlocking to a overlapping grip and the feeling is wonderful. I feel like I can't throw anymore. Can't wait to look at it on tape my swing is definitely moving in the right direction. How many of you guys made the switch? To overlapping not Srixon.

I'm working out my game and issue I want to change is hitting at the ball. Is there any tips or swing thoughts on swinging and not hitting?

I've been setting up for a great season this year. After hours and balls I've began to realize that my swing is pretty good and I need to tweak just a few things. The first thing is alignment I have the tendency to not set up square to my target. The second thing is to shorten my backswing I know once I stop overswinging I will become consistent with my swing. The last tweak is to stop controlling the downswing with just the right arm. When I come down I feel that I'm pushing the club mainly with my right arm. The feel that I'm focusing on is swinging with both arms which will stop my pulling the ball. Focusing on these short goals I'm sure my game will be great this year.
-
This pulling shots thing is really getting to me. I focused on purely alignment today and I'm still pulling the ball. Everyone is telling me it's not the swing I understand that part so I've been looking at other things that could be affecting my ball flight. So I'm thinking maybe it could be the grip. Can you guys help me out with some more possibilities of pulled shots.
-
Went to the range and I have some new video. Main thing I worked on was shorter backswing and keeping the left knee stable. The ballstriking feels so good ball fight was either straight, pull fade or pull slice which from looking at the video is all alignment issues. Please keep giving your input you guys are really helping me out. Driver DTL: Driver Face On: Iron DTL: Iron Face On:

That's why when it's packed at the driving range I usually use my Ipod due to bad advice and to much unnecessary noise rather hear good music in its place.
-
I would love to swing softer but I don't know how to go about it. When I try to not swing past parallel I feel like I rush forward or make myself out of position. I feel once I correct this I will stop pulling the ball.
-
LOL at the haircut joke. Know when you say lash out do you mean I should let my body do more of the swinging? I've been working on the hip slide as of late letting my hips go forward which was easy to accomplish do to the fact I use to do it early on but people would always say that I should rotate and not slide. But I've also been letting my hands go for the ride then attack the ball last. Is that action helping defeat the lash at the ball?

Searching for golf ball
thenormankid replied to thenormankid's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Looks like I'm going to have to go to a open field with them and measure out my new iron distances with them or simply take more club. I feel very comfortable getting up and down with this ball. I just hope they don't discontinue the ball due to the penta ball. -
I finally was able to play a round with new TP reds today I love this ball around the and off the tee my only issue is when I hit my irons the ball is a full club shorter. Should I switch to the blacks or what should I do. I love the ball though.

Here is some new video I worked on more flex in my knees. Driver Face On: Driver Down The Line: Iron Down The Line: Iron Face On:

Thanks for the responses. My shots are all pulled. I'm getting pull hooks, pull slices or just straight pulls. Sorry for the sewat pants and over sized shirt but it was pretty cold out but I just had to start working on my swing for when the spring weather shows up. So if I wanted to fix a pull with my swing where else can I look to get it right. Also when I hit my irons my are to the left of my target this why I feel I get over the top. Can you guys help me look at things from a different angle.

I need help setting up to the golf ball. Every time someone watches me swing they say I need to bend more at the waist which ends up feeling tight in my lower back so I don't think I'm bending to good. Anyway can you guys help me with my setup? I know once I fix this issue I can work on my actual swing issues. Here is a picture of my swing as well. Please help me out.
