All you picture looking golf swing THEORISTS...come in to my office...:)

Here are some pictures of top-flight professional that I started teaching TODAY (no names).

The lesson was VERY SUCCESSFUL.

One is a before, one is an after.

See if you can figure out which is which and what the main focus was.....

Nice looking change in the release. How did it change the ball flight?

It straightened the crud out of it.

Which is which?

 

[spktho]

I'm thinking the top is the "new" release for him.

Why did the glove/no glove?

 

[willgolfer]

Looks like more of a release in the top series of photos...shaft to forearm angle/wrist bend is less at impact

 

[willgolfer]

The top 2nd photo looks photoshopped at the shoulder/right biceps area. Any reason for that? Actually the whole right arm/hand.

Also any reason for the glove/no glove difference?

 

[natep]

I like the bottom one.

Nah.

Nothing by the shoulder.

Still looking for the FOCUS of the lesson.....

 

[DCgolf]

The sequence on top appears more released

 

[jimmyt]

less pivot

 

[spktho]

Focus: besides the release, more "jump".

Whoa... just about as I was going to mention new D-plane mechanics in the release, everybody else mentioned it!!!

In the first set of picks, the lead wrist is flat, and I bet even flattening more in those last few inches to impact.

In the second set of pics, the lead wrist appears slightly cupped (or maybe flat but pointing upwards) at impact and the hands have not rolled over yet.

Brian... what does this do to his D-plane results???

 

[natep]

Couple point? Top one looks like couple point isnt getting raised as much as on bottom.

 

[Brian Manzella]

What was the main thing we tried to improve??

 

[DCgolf]

The right arm position is more in front on the bottom. The turn thru appears less on top with more club head release?

 

[spktho]

What was the main thing we tried to improve??

Having a more stable base to swing...

 

[Brian Manzella]

Nope.

Geez..everyone can't even agree on the "AFTER."

!!!

 

[SteveT]

Nah.

Nothing by the shoulder.

Still looking for the FOCUS of the lesson.....

What was the main thing we tried to improve??

Stronger grip position?? ... Just guessing now!

 

[spktho]

Nope.

Geez..everyone can't even agree on the "AFTER."

!!!

Too many choices.

Not pivoting like crazy.

 

[Brian Manzella]

Stronger grip position?? ... Change in head position?? ... Just guessing now!

More like swimming....

And you have a clue!

Imagine some guy who isn't even a pro thinking he can look at HAND PICKED/SPOON FED pics of golfers and GUESS any real important stuff.

NUMSKULL!!!!
