Alright, here it is. Finally got some pictures of actually hitting a ball. Assembled a swing sequence shot out of them. I'm very proud of it, having only played about 2 years and having taken only a few odd and unsuccessful lessons. The part that troubles me is the top of the backswing. I...

Well, my irons have been hitting really great. Except for my swing being a bit long, I feel like the swing itself is really really coming along nicely. Evidence in play has been there as well, as I'm striking the ball SOLID (not always on line, but SOLID nonetheless). My driver and 3 wood have...

Ok, I really want to get rid of these pushes with the PW and Wedges. My iron play is getting much much better since I stopped over-rotating the clubface and worked on not popping out on the backswing. Combine that with a much better backswing pivot, and my swing is really coming along. It...

Well, I'm trying to commit myself to the soft draw pattern. Been working on the neutral grip. I have to say, it feels extremely weak (not just in position) to my prior grip. I'm talking about the amount of strength it takes to swing and square the club with the left hand. Just holding it level...

Hey, has anyone used the Pure Ball Striker? I'm looking to learn to really lag the sweetspot and stop my casting with longer clubs (costing me a lot of clubhead speed :( example, I can hit a 6 iron 185 yards, but my driver only goes 220-230...). I've been working on swinging with right...

A few questions: Finally came to the conclusion that swinging flat like Hogan just isn't for my physique. I've been working on making my swing more vertical (more Jack Nicklaus-ish). I am having a lot of trouble getting a hands high finish (not a flat wrap around the neck finish). My focus...

Just thought I would share this personal revelation: Had a terrible range session yesterday. Really terrible. Something just didn't feel right. I couldn't muster any power in my golf swing and contact was absolutely poor. "What happened?" I asked myself. This is not the swing I played with on...

I struggle with bouts of being too much in-out, especially with irons. The result is usually either a big hook or a nasty block (I'm lucky when it's just a push). Question is: If you do not snap your kinetic chain enough, and just continue turning the hips through impact, will it promote...

Well, today I did it. After a bunch of practice, and playing now for about a year and a half... I shot under 80 for the first time, carding 75 at my home course from the blue tees (front 38, back 37). :D Made 6 bogeys, 3 birdies, and the rest pars. Some of those bogeys should have been...

Had this idea come to me just a moment ago... How about instead of starting the swing with a forward press of the club, we start with a reverse press? My thought is it could encourage good tempo, a lagging clubhead takeaway, and hands foward impact. Here is how I would do it. On the count of...

Hey all, Been having a really hard time with fairway woods lately. Today I tried something and it worked really good, but I'm wondering why. I raised my hands at address to make the club sit flatter on its sole. This made a world of a difference. I could suddenly hit my 3 wood off the turf...

Has anyone else read this book? I am considering working on this pattern, (one reason is because my usual fault is fanning the clubhead and pulling the clubhead too far behind my hands in the takeaway, then attacking way too much from the inside on the downswing resulting in pushes, blocks...

Check out this "driver tips" picture article on Trevor Immelman. Trevor Immelman: How to Build a Swing you Can Trust | Galleries | Golf.com Guess they are telling us to flip it now. Great... Right about now, Hogan is rolling over.

Bet that thread title got you thinking... didn't it...:D Yeah, I'm the guy that posted the thread about hitting the ball aiming with the toe of the club. So this is gonna come as absolutely no shock to a lot of people. My setup has creeped closer and closer to the ball over the last 8 months...

Ok, I'm really curious to find the root explanation for this one. I've tried standing farther and standing closer to the ball. Fact remains, when the ball is address with its center in line with the toe of the club, I can hit amazingly easy accurate shots. I don't get it. Works with woods and...

Ok, I've decided to take care of my left wrist stability problem. My wrist tends to break down at the top of the swing. I end up cocking both wrists :eek:. I usually get it flattened again around the time of impact, but as a result of this very loose timing, I am constantly missing both ways...

I wanna talk about the takeaway. I know we have different ways for different patterns, but specifically the one piece Y takeaway used by Hogan, Nicklaus, and Moe Norman. All very very similar. I really consider the takeaway a huge component to building a good swing, and I think too much flipping...

My driving and wedge play have sucked lately. Period. Can't hit a fairway to save my life and duffing every wedge / approach shot I look at. Played 18 yesterday, and on the ninth tee I had an epiphany. I had been forward pressing my hands then resetting my grip. I normally don't forward press...

Saw this on the pgatour website: PGATOUR.com - SwingPlex - Home of Slow Motion Player Swings Looks like some serious float loading going on there. "Look how he starts down while the club is still going back! OMG... let's look at that on the swingvision bizhub garbage-can camera again!" :rolleyes:
