Any chance you can fix this swing before tomorrows round? I am certainly not doing what I thought I was :0( An exercise in how to keep your score above 100! All criticism accepted humbly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRTihFCSKCY Rog

I prefer to think that there is no single technique that can garrantee any result whatsoever. On the other hand, if this one specific thing is not achieved, the ball will certainly not go straight and long and it is not an aspect of production of speed, instead it is the inherent quality of the transmission of speed from the club to the ball. Just by looking at the diversity of the methods used by all the successful players, it is immediately obvious that no single technique can garrantee any result. But there must be something that they're doing that brings them this success so what is it? As soon as we stop looking at production of speed and start looking at transmission of speed, it becomes so obvious it's a shame the amount of time and effort we've been putting in everything else. I think there's production of speed and transmission of speed. In other words, there's swinging the club and striking the ball. I also think it's more important to transmit the speed properly to the ball than anything else. I think that you can lose more speed through faulty transmission that any other way. If there's only one thing you do right and it's transmit speed from the club to the ball, then everything you must do right, you do it right.

It is not that mysterious or difficult. All we need to do is propel the clubhead along or slightly from the inside of the target line for an inch or so through the ball position-- and keep the clubhead accelerating for distance. All we need to do is avoid decelerating before impact and swiping across the ball from out-to-in. It is really that simple. The problem amateurs encounter is that in order to do those things--and avoid those faults-- he must be "posted" on his front leg at impact. He must either stand on his front leg, stand with feet together, or learn to start his downswing with a weight shift forward-- a hip turn toward the target. Larry >

There is on single technique that garrantees any result >whatsoever. Agreed. But it is absolutely guaranteed that if you DO NOT get your weight posted on your front foot at impact you will decelerate and your clubhead path will be from out-to-in. That unless you are built differently than other humans. You will be obliged to fight slice by closing the clubhead before every shot! If you become able to score while doing that-- you will join the legion of middle handicappers who can never drop lower. Most amateur rounds are ruined by erratic sideways shots-- caused by their inability to consistently time the closing of the clubhead to prevent slice. Why not learn a fundamentally correct golf swing? Just tell the pro you will persist as necessary and he will show you the drills and exercises necessary to get your butt off your back foot!!! If you do them and do them and do them, you can learn how the big boys hit golf balls. I thought the shortcut was TPI-- the combination of top level instruction with golf biomechanics-- They show you how to teach your body to maintain posture and flexibility for a good golf swing. See http://www.mytpi.com for a certified instructor near you. You can be ready by Summer! Larry

Since at least 99% amateurs do not decelerate every swing, I infer that your stat means that 99% amateurs occasionally don't shift their weight completely. Although I purposefully do not shift my weight in some shots that are beyond my ability to do so well (when I am standing in a bunker and the ball is waist height on the grass, for instance). But that doesn't guarantee deceleration for that shot. But inference that doesn't work with your explanation that *no* pros do this.

Wishful thinking. Actually 99% of amateurs fail to shift their weight to their front leg at impact and as a consequence they do indeed decelerate before impact. And because their right hip remains in the way of their arms, their clubhead path crosses the target line before it reaches the ball. They swipe across the ball from out-to-in. They would slice every shot if they didn't close the clubface to compensate. Simply look at your or nearly any amateur's divots to verify.

How, exactly, does "their right hip remain in the way of their arms"? If you're talking about the usual, right-handed golfer, and early transition/weight-shift would have the right hip rotated out towards the ball more than a swing in which one hung back, making it *more* likely that one would have to come from outside to inside to make contact. Thus it would *promote* a slice, wouldn't it? Hanging back with one's lower body would have the right hip most out of the way of an inside to outside swing path. -- "The iPhone doesn't have a speaker phone" -- "I checked very carefully" -- "I checked Apple's web pages" -- Edwin on the iPhone and how he missed the demo of the iPhone speakerphone.

I'm sorry, but I am not going to take a minute to explain "golf 101" to someone who should know the fundamentals. Read a book. Start with "Bobby Jones on Golf"-- see the chapter on "The Magic Line."

The difference between let's say, your grip method and mine, makes the "fundamentals" more peculiar than otherwise. Peculiar to you and peculiar to me. As soon as I began to distinguish between production of speed and transmission of speed, I was able to distinguish between fundamental and peculiar as well. Let's say I use the baseball grip while you use the overlap grip. I could then say that I have a peculiar method to grip the club. I could say that you have a peculiar method to grip the club as well. Here we both have the same fundamental method to grip the club "grip club with both hands" but we each have a slightly different, thus peculiar method to grip the club: Me the baseball way, you the overlap way. The same can be said of any other specific technique in the production of speed. The same can _not_ be said for the transmisson of speed. Here with transmission of speed, there is only one correct method and this method does garrantee the intended result. Transmission of speed is ruled by the laws of the universe, thus it is fundamental in nature and will remain so no matter how we look at it. From any peculiar method used in the production of speed, we can arrive at the same specific method of transmission of speed. If we only look at the diversity of the methods used by all the successful players, it becomes obvious. For example, Jim Furyk versus Ernie Els. Both have wildly different swings i.e. methods to produce speed but according to each player's results, it's obvious that both methods will arrive at the correct fundamental aspect of the golf swing which is ultimately proper contact. Granted, through extensive analysis, we find common details in most successful players' methods. I say most because there are still some that have defied this commonality and still produced a level of success that can't just be denied and dismissed as luck. But perhaps this commonality isn't so much related to the technique in the production of speed. Instead, perhaps it's much more closely related to the intended result: Proper contact. Working our way forward, we could analyse one specific player's method for example Ben Hogan's, devise a way to teach this method and ultimately arrive at the intended result of proper contact. Or, we could work our way backwards by first knowing exactly what contact produces what ball flight, practice it extensively, try everything, keep what works, discard what doesn't, and ultimately arrive at this commonality anyway. I prefer the second. The question that begs to be asked is how did we, how did anybody learn the "fundamentals" in the first place? Here I make the distinction between proper contact and improper contact with these two simple logic statements: Proper contact is what will produce the intended result while any other contact that produces any other result is improper contact. Granted, there is a great range of acceptable results (depending on your skill level and expectations) when compared to the intended result, nevertheless these acceptable results were caused by improper contact however slight. It is my firm conviction that focusing on making proper contact and nothing else will lead one to arrive at those "fundamentals" that are considered common to every great player. Even if one doesn't arrive at those fundamentals, he'll still have achieved proper contact in the process. I'm not convinced of the same thing about any other specific technique.

Hogan said it is futile and silly to go for more than "functional" in a golf swing. We know his name because he boiled his swing down to the basics, just the bare minimum necessary to propel the ball straight consistently. TPI and many other authorities recognize that 99% of amateurs hit every ball with weight retained on their back foot. As a consequence, they fight slice every swing. Their clubhead path is necessarily from out to in as it strikes the ball and their clubhead decelerates before it gets there--unless they play the ball far back in their stance. They groove a fundamental fault deeper every time they swing. ERGO, if TPI is to help a golfer break out of that cycle, the first hurdle is to make us get our weight off our back foot at impact. THAT is my goal right now-- and I am getting close. Post your swing-- Larry

Looks like you should be shooting in the 80s. I don't mind the lateral head movement on the backswing. Some pros slide their heads quite a bit, others don't do it much at all. However, very few pros lift their heads in the backswing (I can only think of Kenny Perry), which is what you do. You need to turn the whole upper part of your back when you turn your shoulders. Your left shoulder needs to move downward slightly on the backswing, it can't slide flat. Otherwise, you head will lift. Also make sure you keep your right knee flexed on the backswing. Straightening it can cause your head to raise, too. The pictures are small, and the camera placement is poor, expecially for the down-the-line and face-on views. This makes it tough to see details of the swing plane and impact. But I agree with Ben's comment that the swing looks a little flat (but only just a little if you are trying for a Hardy 1P swing). You do a lot of things very well, though.

This I will work on first. I have a tape of 'Golf my way' by Nicklaus and notice that when using his five iron the club is nowhere near parallel on his backswing, when I have the club in a similar position it feels like a 3/4 swing.

I thought that too-- but it is AS you post your weight. look at any video swing sequence of a top player to verify. Not early and not late for the best accuracy and distance. One of the drills to get the correct feeling is hitting balls while on our front foot only --the other behind us for balance. Amazing how soon you can hit them straight and decently long like that.

Fitness & health - golf specific >excercise. Highly recommended. Larry is on the right track with >this. > >You may have seen the Golf Fitness Academy on the Golf Channel. > >(It doesn't teach Larry how to analyse swing video's, however.) Actually it does. Since we study the psysiology of the body vis-a-vis the golf swing, we must know the movements in a good golf swing. TPI gives us drills to correct specific (and very common) faults. We know what most amateurs do --and fail to do. Obviously we recognize those faults in ourselves and others. I immediately noticed that the poster failed to get his weight off his back foot before impact-- by far the most common fault of amateurs--and a fault that NO pro makes. In fact "lagging back" is the ubiquitious fault of all but the elite among golfers. When we finally learn to hit every ball with weight totally on our front foot like the pros do-- we are ready to hit fairways and greens, and with a short game, shoot par most times out. TPI came about because essentially all amateurs get tired and lose the ability to hold their posture during their swings-- So rather than just educating them about the swing, rather than provide more lessons or clinics, TPI endeavors to make amateurs flexible and strong enough to make all good swings for a whole round of golf--and create a habit of fitness that will change their life. This is not trivial. It is relatively expensive (about the cost of a top driver), requires months of 3/week stretching and strengthening sessions, which are accompanied and followed by unlimited guidance from the teaching pros who become TPI Certified Instructors. I strongly recommend TPI for anyone who is serious about improving his golf-- and his fitness! I did my 1 hour stretching/strengthening session this morning and then walked up and down 10 flights of stairs--10 times! I am building up my legs big time! See http://www.mytpi.com for more details and to find a certified instructor near you. Titieist is selecting only the top pros in each area, usually the head pro or Director of Golf at area clubs. He will be both knowledgeable on fitness as well as a top teaching pro. Larry

Pretty conclusive evidence that that alone defines the difference. And because lagging back always includes deceleration and an out-to-in clubhead path at impact, those who do that cannot score consistently--seldom break 80--even with a great short game. If they swing hard enough to get distance, they play the treeline and hit OB quite often. So yes, odds are quite good that essentially everyone on RSG lags back--unless they play scratch or ++ level golf. Larry

You mastered that last year... ...oh, wait... ...since TPI is giving you drills, I guess when you told us you had it mastered you were just making it up. -- "The iPhone doesn't have a speaker phone" -- "I checked very carefully" -- "I checked Apple's web pages" -- Edwin on the iPhone and how he missed the demo of the iPhone speakerphone.

Damn LLLLLLarrrry, that's a given. YOU said 99%, and then published the link above. Well, I read that link and the only thing said in it about weight shift was: "The elite players at impact were very light on their feet, because they had transferred 75 percent of their body weight into the hit; amateurs transferred only 50 percent". Notice that it says "elite" players, not pros or amateurs. Plus, nowhere does it say 99%. Again, you've pulled a stat out of your ass and can't back it up. >Amateurs lag back--with weight retained on their back foot-- which is >very likely what is wrong with your golf swing. > Some amateurs do, some pros do. You have a lot of balls to even guess what is wrong with anyone else's swing. Look at that joke of yours on You Tube. -- ___, \o

It is certainly not the holy grail of golf wisdom...especially when it comes to the swing. Just the same instruction that we've all heard, and read, for years. Incidentally, I don't recall reading that 99% of amateurs don't transfer to their left side. That TPI, but it certainly is not stressed as much as LLLLLLarrrrry would have you believe. There are some pretty good players at my club, and very, very few of them end up on their right side (for right handed golfers).

Yours is hyperbole-- and actually dishonest misreading of my posts. I said that 99% of amateurs do not transfer ALL of their weight to their front foot at impact-- Their fault is that they do not completely unweight their back foot as all pros (even Davis Love III) does. Getting fully "posted" at impacat is the is the priy difference between a top golfer's swing and all the others who lag back. Larry

I think your swing plane is too flat. If you pause the bottom left frame at the top of your backswing you will see that your arms are below the height of your right shoulder. You will find most pros arms at this position will be more upright, esp. with a short iron, most likely the arm position will be midway between head and shoulder (IMHO) Ben "seveniron" <rog@repairman.com > wrote in message news:460ee251.0@entanet... > Any chance you can fix this swing before tomorrows round? > I am certainly not doing what I thought I was :0( > An exercise in how to keep your score above 100! > All criticism accepted humbly. > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRTihFCSKCY > > Rog > >

Pic at bottom left- head bent down too much. Try to have your head more upright. It's bent over too much and can throw your balance off. Just bend it back a little at address, enough so you can still see the ball, and I agree with Mitch, try to keep your head back (or more upright, in other words) and STILL.
