A while back after a lil thought, I decided to phone Brian up after uploading my swing photos. I was actually reasonably surprised, unlike most people that suggest that they know the inner workings of a swing and am usually able to talk them down in about 5 minutes(infact to be totally truthful I just don't bother with the debate anymore because its pointless and only serves to boost their ego because the forum gives them their platform to pretend they know what their talking about, and just get down to the real good stuff..
), he gave a very detailed analysis of my swing. The good, the bad and the ugly so to speak.
You may recall when I first joined this forum I cracked down on him. Yet after this call you may have noticed that I have stopped towards Brian because unlike 99% of the golf gurus in the forum and has my respect after that call.
I would now like to post the before and after pictures of how my backswing has changed
BEFORE AND AFTER
While my posture is still not perfect, it has improved. I am more bent over and my eyes are set more towards the ground as Brian stated on the phone and in his last artical I believe. I have also set my trail elbow more downwards which aids my improved clubplane which you will see in the next pictures
BEFORE AND AFTER
As a result of the better posture, it makes me feel more like I am taking the club away with less effort to keep it on the correct line. I now feel more as though my tummy muscles are dominant in the takeaway rather than slinging of throwing my arms in the general direction to drag my pivot. I feel instantly more in sync as I begin to take the club back
You can see that the club is better here (although I've lost the before picture)
The clubplane is better here. At this point before the club would be starting to get a creep a bit inside here. It is more linked to my turn, infact I feel that the turn governs my arm swing in a sence. I think the word transportation would be a good way to describe the feeling of my arm swing here.
BEFORE AND AFTER
Big change here. The first picture the clubplane is flat and the second shows it more on plane. The club feels more controlled, balanced and more compact.
BEFORE AND AFTER
This is where the club stops now! Because of the better syncronisation I am now finished my backswing a good foot and a half shorter than before(this is the same club). The right elbow doesn't fly around to move my club back on nearer the plane either.
------------------
Results...
Well it hasn't affected my shot pattern drastically. Im still a reasonable player as I was before. I believe though with the better top of the backswing I now have compensationary moves in the downswing that now do nothing for me. It is new so I don't fire on all cylinders so distance is less by about 30yards which I can only expect when making quite big swing changes.
However I do feel the swing is more controlled and feel it is more comfortable to repeat. I used to have to feel constantly energized to have the energy to do my previous swing time and time again on a consistant basis. My new swing requires alot less athletism to get to the top of the backswing.
I wonder if Brian would like to add to what he likes and doesn't like about my new swing.
