The 10 finger grip changed my golf life. I never considered using it because I read and heard that it was for children, women or any body who lacks strength or has small hands. I'm a left-handed but swing from the right , 6' 200 lb former college football player with 10" hands. By using the other two conventional grips I was giving my dominant hand which happens to be my lead hand, even more dominance. So it makes perfect sense that I've always been told my back swing was way too fast and my down swing was way too violent and I couldn't for the life of me slow it down, it just wasn't happening. So after 2.5 years of golfing I switched to the 10 finger grip and I just couldn't believe how much my swing changed. My body turn, wrist hinge and downswing felt so automatic it wasn't funny. I achieved the most crisp contact with what seemed effortless power. I use this grip from Driver to chipping and I haven't looked back since.

I think that's why I following his teachings. He uses other ballistic movements like throwing a ball, skiing, swinging a sledge hammer. Really anything having to do with weightshift and momentum. I never noticed, but Rory, VJ, Els I even saw Noh this week using a little forward press to start the swing. About a year ago I almost gave up on him becuase of my inability to grasp it. A year later I'm glad I stuck with it.

Not sure if you're being sarcatic but I've learned everything from Shawn Clement and my swing doesn't look like his. Hunter Mahan's swing looks nothing like Tiger or Justin Rose and they share a coach.

Best: Rory. It's perfect. Tiger and I like Gary Woodland's as well. Worst: Tommy Two gloves by far. Also for some reason I can't stand Matt Kuchar's swing. I'm in the minority when it comes to Furyk. At first glance it might looks like he has a lot goin on, but if you watch it in slow-mo, I think its pretty cool lookin. Especially when he hits a cut shot. It has an olay, lasso look to it.

It's not like Kenny's, his is pretty evident. I had my friend watch me closely because I didn't want it to be noticeable and he said he it looks like im making a regular hip turn. My levels from my head to my knees don't move up at all. It feels like a quick pump action that is synced with my turn. It's an interesting move that's gonna take some getting used to, but I think its' gonna work out.

Has anyone here ever heard of jumping (not literally jumping, but more like pushing off the ground) to kick start the backswing? I went to the range today and had the best session I've EVER had. By pushing off the ground through the arches of my feet while simultaneously turning my hips, it tosses the club back perfectly. I don't feel my arms at all, I just feel the weight of the club head gliding up, giving me that "weightless" feeling to the top of my backswing. I'm going out tomorrow so hopefully it translates on the course.

You know your addicted to golf when your stopped at a red light and you pick out a target like a light pole or a store sign and say to yourself "if i was on the course, I would go with my easy 6i." LMAO, I do it all the freaking time.

Will do, Goin out this weekend.

In my backswing or my downswing? I feel like I rotate my hips fine on the downswing...

That probably explains why my left deltoid is kind of sore. It seems lilke when I try and use less arms in my backswing, my head gets pulled too far behind the ball. Ill try and work it out at the range today. Thanks.

Yea my tempo is something im working on. Everytime we get out there no matter if im with my friends or a random group, everyone tells me my backswing is way too fast. The stubborness (sp?) in me says F'em, Ill swing how I want to, but I finally realize that their right. Im just gonna act like Im hitting an 80 yd shot so my backswing will be less aggressive. Ill try a more narrow stance as well. Golf is too fun and too expensive to be bad! Thanks for the feedback.

Ive been waiting to get my swing on film for a while and I fianlly got one I can post. Ive been working on my swing for a few months and this is where I am. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

This last Saturday I crushed one 330. I don't have my own driver yet so I was using my friends new Superfast. I only had 3 good drives all day and this was my best one. I didn't realize the thread was about 300 yd average. I have no idea what I average is as I slice more than I hit straight.

I used to look down on Mizuno's for no particaular reason. Maybe because I was an ignorant person that thought Mizuno was only good for making baseball equipment. But after trying out my buddies mp-58's, I gotta have some for my next set.

I really like Dustin Johnson's swing. Even though he's 6'4 and i'm only 6', I have the wing span of a person who is 6'4 and try and emulate what he does. We're both pretty long and ive had trouble finding my swing, but watching helps get a feel for how my swing should be.

1. Tiger 2. AK 3. Tom Watson 4. P. Harrignton You can throw in Phil 5th because I have love for lefties even though I swing righty but Im a left-handed in life.
