Another Swingvid

[ezra76]

So here's the Superquad with the V2. I loosened my grip a ton, aligned with my back foot and flared the front slightly. Pounding drives one after the other. These 2 were about a 2-3 yd. draw and about as long as I'm capable of hitting a drive. I wanted to show the alingment and plane on the first, I'm set up slight draw and it's exactly what it did. The second I slowed down the takeaway for a clip to show the one-piece I've been working on. Then I added a little 3 pulled downswing clips, those are normal speed, no speed up. Man I'm getting throught the ball well. Still getting past parallel but not going OTT. If I can shorten up that backswing I think I might have something here.

But, can you do it? Phil can't.

That reminds me, I need to take my video cam to the range the next time I go.

It's gonna take some work. Twofast let me borrow his Momentus Powerhitter, so that should help me groove it a bit I hope. I broke the videos I got down frame by frame. I go a good 2-3 frames longer than I should. Basically the wristcock/lag is being wasted way up top. If I can shorten it and get it further down into the swing I'll have much more efficient power. I got a nice "Bubba Watson" backswing going there though. :laugh: Yeah right. I was nailing them with a slight draw though, such a sigh of relief after all the high fading, short drives I've gotten lately. It was like Zen to me.

I have a fear that you are a tinkerer with the club buying and selection that your golf swing will always be the same, a bit picked from one place, a little gleaned from there. if you are geniunely serious about improving your game i would find a teacher you have faith in and stick steadfast to what he says.

For real? You got me then. 280-285 with a 2-3 yd. draw works for me. That swing is about 90% done IMO.

I'd really like to actually hear what you see as major flaws there? IMO the takeaway is perfection, I'll go as far to say I'd put it against any swingvid from anyone on the planet I've gotten it so perfected. I go across the line at the top but I still am maintaining the flex of the right knee, my torso is probably a lot more flexible than most guys. I am delivering the club well on the inside, right elbow is dropping well. At impact all is nearly exactly where it started, I extend my right arm while turning the head over and follow through to a balanced finish.

EZ,

you still have the reverse pivot going on and are way to steep coming down, bordering on OTT.
You seem to be lifting and lunging instead of rotaing around your trunk.
Man, I am shitty at explaing what I am trying to say about a golf swing.

And how the hell do you do a screen capture?

 

[ezra76]

I'd have to disagree. My right leg is not straightening as is the case with an OTT. My weight is entirely on my right side, it has to be, my left leg is collasped inward. I'll grab a few clips out of there to debate with... Don't ask me why I'm doing this when I just had the best range session with a driver ever. If I took that to the course I'd shoot 74-78 everytime out hitting 5yd. draw, straight, fade on command 285yds.

 

[ezra76]

OK. I can only do 4 at a time but these 4 show no lift, no way. Also at this point my weight is nearly entirely on my right side. I do go further past parallel but I'd like to simply work on stopping and intiating the downswing at around this point. IMO if I can do that it will be a very good swing, not something to mess with after that, just hit 50,000 balls and groove it. From everything I've ever read or heard that K in the 4th picture is perfect position?

Where the club is at the top is okay (if you could stop there) but that spine tilt toward the target is going to kill you long term. Timing impact is going to be a crap shoot. As long as your swing is, I would guess that you need to think "half swing" to get to that top of swing position that you have posted here.

 

[LyleG]

Ez,

In pic 4 your front shoulder needs to be back more, it should be over your back leg. Your body in that pic forms a letter K, meaning your upper body has tilted towards the target, when it should be rotating around your core, not leaning.

I know its a bad pic but it shows the proper location of all your parts LOL.

Also if you at the view from the back. When you are about half way down notice how steep your swing plane has become. This is because your are taking the club back too far inside and hinging the wrists too early. Instead of bringing the club back low and square to (or even outside) the target line, you are yanking it back and up to the inside. This will cause you to have to compensate at the top and get steep or OTT.

At least this is what I see.

Are you talking about a tilt in the pics? I see actually the same as I started with, just a shoulder turn. I know the stopping of the swing will take some work. I have Twofast's Momentus and I've already been doing hundreds of backswings in my living room. I'll just keep working on it and taking more video to make sure I'm progressing I guess.

Lol. I like that drill I see there but I'd outdrive that dude with my 6iron.

 

[LyleG]

I saw that guy on the golf channel and he was actually busting it out there pretty nice.

 

[ezra76]

Huh. He's got a huge bend in his left arm. Looks god-awful. I spent months last year working on keeping that left arm straight. I'll need to utulize that again to help stop that swing from going overboard. I was looking at that last 3W swing I posted and I actuall do stop at parallel and drop right in the slot. Maybe the 45 1/2" driver is getting to my head.
