Birdie - always enjoy your posts on here and other sites. With your swing - looks like you stand up a bit at impact and your bum gets closer to the ball (at least to my uncultured eyes!). That's something i am trying to sort out in my swing - do you work on that at all?

cheers

Really Good.

I think you should show a before and after for the (doubters) folks like Brucifier. I remember the first ones I saw long ago.

Wow!

Great Job Paul!

When I saw the DTL view, I almost shed a tear of joy. :eek:

You look like a golfer.

Ooooo, would i love to see a little more weight of the left foot so you could hover a little more in the transition. Makes it easier to swing left. Hips look a little reversed to me...hangin left a touch. Makes for a fast transition and a hump through the ball. Nice speed tho. Love the signature follow through!
 
I still think you need to add up ALL of your posts from different sites.<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="0" height="0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.latourgolf.net/la-tour-golf-nets/pages/1953/pga-tour.html"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.latourgolf.net/la-tour-golf-nets/pages/1953/pga-tour.html" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="0" height="0"></embed></object> It's got to be over 20K!! :)

Yeah really!;)

I see it too.

It is on the list no doubt. I try to work on most things that are not orthodox. Not all though. There are too many players with quirks to list. I am not sure if this is a quirk of sorts but my next round of videos for sure will try to address this among other things.

I wouldn't mind keeping a few quirks though to keep it interesting. ;) That is to say, I don't mind being quirkY.

Thx NWB.

Thanks Brian!! I will round up some of my older vids. Too bad my own computer is down but there are a few on the net already.

Do you have any thoughts on my downswing? I come out of my waist bend (with a hump of the imaginary woman) then back into it.

I wish the video quality and angles were better...

I think I have video of me putting more weight on the right foot. I'm not sure what you mean with the hips. I do hump lots in the downswing!

My finish is about the only thing I have always liked in my swing.

Thanks Kevin. Keep it comin if you have it.

-Paul :)

Looking pretty good birdie...whats the little move you do at the start of 8 sec., if you pause it right at the point you look like you roll your hands wide open before you really even start to swing? (the first face on vid)
 
OK this is the summary I never wrote last night:

Some quick points:

Camera angles are way off. For the 2 Target View videos the mat is aiming left of the bullseye and I am aiming straight down it.

I didn't hook one that day. I over-drew a few (when I was hitting a draw) and I did push a few. So I still swing too far to the right at times. But misses are pleasantly to the right

No more arched left wrist!!! Anything is possiblllllllllle!! (Kevin Garnett)

I took 47 videos of me doing all different things. Many different patterns and I hit it pretty good with basically all of them, which I'm happy to say. Everything from NHA (performed very well)...to my attempt at Sergio without trying too hard for his release...to NSA without the twistaway in the backswing.

Interesting to note that they all felt very different from each other but mostly didn't look tons different. I am gonna do everything I can to break that trend and if it holds up then that's fine too.

I still have a big To Do list.

I would be lying if I told you I had much of a plan for how I wanted it to work out. I am gonna try a bunch of stuff and see how it works and how it looks on video.

One of these days I am gonna try to get my hands on a better camera for a range session.

Looks like your feet are too far apart at address causing too much striding and less rotation through the ball on the downswing.

What is striding fb? They are pretty far apart.

It is my Sergio "tick."

I really couldn't tell you Matt.

I think it is my body sensing the clubface. It doesn't want to do it smoothly. I even do it when I am making an air golf swing.

It probably also is me being a fidgety bastard. :)

I was wondering today if it's at all like bouncing an object in your hand to get a feel for its weight before you toss it.

Regardless, I eventually will spend some real time trying to oust it and seeing how that goes.

The stance and grip are working together in your swing. Looks good, athletic.

Thanks tobell. Can you elaborate? (stance and grip)

Lots!

I can't really say until this season but I can't see it not being a very good one.

I'll add that the only thing that really held me back from de-Arched (at the top) is shanks. I see now that it has been a big hump to get over.

And it took forever (I just figured it out this fall) even though I probably should have known better.

Brian had talked about it plenty before. (getting underplane and under the sweetspot late in the downswing) I just didn't apply that information very well.

Looks good Paul.

Just curious, it seems you have a "popout" type move to start the backswing. Have you tried starting the swing with no popout?

Again, your swing looks athletic and dynamic, I was just wondering.
