Re: SWING NEEDS HELP

Your back swing has two good things to remark about:

1. You are holding a golf club instead of a tennis racket or a hockey stick
2. You have both hands gripping the club and not one waiving or blowing your nose.

Seriously, I think a couple of lessons will be exactly what you need to correct posture and aligment.




P.S. Use a ball for your swing. That is like trying to figure out your throwing mechanics mistakes without a football... Most beginners have a very different mechanic when in front of a ball...

Come on. Kids these days need to earn respect, by keeping their traps shut and do more listening.

Your new, so I'm bustin' your chops. Take it, and realise your wrong.

No one's swing is the same with a ball as it is without.

I wonder, if you know so much about your swing, why bother and ask strangers?

We all have lots of flaws, and that's the reason why we are here trying to improve, asking advice from people who know more than we do (and believe me, this forum has A LOT of people who do know about this sport who I admire very much).

The first step to fix up your swing is the hardest one: LISTEN.

Buddha said:
"If you ask for an opinion be ready to receive an answer you won't like/share; because asking has two objectives: to assure your point or to break it up. Its on you to LISTEN WISELY and take whichever you want/need from it"

Two people are telling you here to use a ball for your swing. You an either reject such advice or try and find a ball to film your swing.

If you reject it, I can assure you your swing will stay exactly the same since it hasn't had any intervention.

If you show some humbleness and try and film yourself with a ball, actually hitting it and following trajectory, it can either go two ways:

1. You realize you were right and your swing looks exactly the same with a ball and 295yards and I are just a pair of terrible golfers (I am terrible for sure ) who wanted to bother you with awkward advice to make your swing get worst everytime

or

2. You discover your swing changes when you have a ball and you actually hit it, and realize there are a lot more things to correct from that posture and we can start working in them step by step.


Its your choice anyway mate.....


Cheers...

Re: SWING NEEDS HELP

Oh! One other piece of advice. Try to check your spelling before posting; it becomes very difficult to understand what you're trying to say sometimes.

Re: SWING NEEDS HELP

If your swing is the same, humor these guys and hit a ball.

Chances are you swing differently with a ball. If your PRACTICE swings aren't consistent, there's no help for you. If your practice swings are consistent, then your ball striking would be consistent.

Re: SWING NEEDS HELP

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you post about 5 months ago with the exact same question?

You received some great advise from Twofast who even recommended you some drills. Have you tried any of those? Or have you discarded the advice with the same stubbornness? Cause I don't see any purpose in posting the exact same thing if you've done nothing to improve with the advice given, won't you agree?

The great difference is you did use golf balls in the previous video...

Anyway mate, do what ever you think its right. Just dn't ask for advice if you're not willing to hear any...

Re: SWING NEEDS HELP

i am willing to take advice and i will listen. i did what he has showed and told me and it works but now im doing something else wrong and i cant figure it out. I have a 10 to 15 foot pull with about every 3rd iron shot. But what im not willing to do is listen to someone who doesnt know what their talking about
