I would like to add that it's fun to go at it with a driver hard once in a while. Even if you are a 500 handicap.

I try to hit irons from the grass only. The mats can keep you from hitting the ball too fat and sometime even deflect the clubhead into the ball so you think the swing you are trying to groove is just fine.

I second this. The 775 CBs are fantastic clubs at a good price now too. They are forgiving, still feel great when you catch one, give good feddback, and will let you work a light draw or fade onto greens. The Nike blades look awesome and the feeling of hitting a ball with a forged blade dead center can't be duplicated. If you have the time to invest into living up to them I say go for it. If you are looking to improve your scores now, keep in mind you will look terrible on the days your swing is off.

1) Based on these swings, what handicap do you think this guy plays to? I will tell you that his short game is about average for his handicap - he doesn't hole every chip shot or three-putt every green or anything goofy like that. 9 Handicap. No reason, just a guess really. He looks very skilled and/or gets out there a lot. 2) What do you think was the outcome of each of these shots? One's a tee shot on a par three, and each of the others is a driver on two par fours. Video #1 On green. Sounded like solid contact, and ball appeared to fly down his target line. By the looks of the take back it's a fade or slice, but downswing appears much more on plane so probably straight and high with soft landing. Video #2 Because of strong grip combined with head dip before impact, I am guessing left ball flight was slight pull and draw. I am guessing it was in the fairway though because he is good enough to line up to compensate for this. Video #3 Because of same reasons as video #2, I am guessing left side of the fairway. 3) What would you do, if anything, to fix this golfer's swing? What are his flaws, and what would you do to correct them? He is very flexible, has great tempo, and appears to be a good ball striker by the clean sound. This really depends on the results and what his desired ball flight is. If everything works for him why change it I suppose. If he is after a more classic swing the obvious tendedncies to correct are: - The take back in video #1 is too far outside, but he appears to fix this and be much more on plane during the downswing. - The reverse pivot on the take back in video #2 (which he also appears to correct during the downswing). If I had this tendency I think I would work on keeping my hips quiter. Only because it's extraneous (he appears plenty flexible) and adds one more part of the swing that can go wrong. - His head has some extra movement with the driver and is dipped before impact. This appears related to the reverse pivot hip movement. Before impact, his hinge will be a few inches closer to the ball causing a slight pull or push maybe.
