hey guys I'm having a little problem this year with my swing. it feels different and I'm a little off as while. but i have lost 40 pounds since i played last. how can this effect my swing thanks:bang:

It affects you big time. I'm down about 35 pounds and had a hard time getting my timing down. Go to the range... pound balls... it'll come. It doesn't take as much effort to get your body through the ball.

Good job to both of you! Now, how'd you do it?

It's this super-secret new fad. It's called diet and exercise

My exercise routine:

As far as diet goes just eat 6 times a day and eat healthy... there's no big trick to it.

i lost 30 of mine by runing and getting ready for a 10k. then i had the flu and lost the other 10 hoping to lose more id like to be 220 as i started out at 310.

 

[slickpitt]

Running at 310? Ouch! Your poor knees and back. I've never been able to run.. it just kills my joints.

 

[extremeVFT03]

i have bad knees as well but i still keep active.

That is an achievement!

It could be that you just need to get used to the range of movement that your core is now capable of!

Would suggest your try doing 20 mins of core and balance exercises, 3 times a week. This will help your coordination. Your neuro connections need time to adjust to their new dimensions, especially with previously routine movements.

Core exercises to help you develope a new feel for your body combined with driving range practice should get your swing back. Should even be better than it was before!

PM zaphod!! He had the same problem after he lost a ton of weight and had to adjust for it.

Or the stock market last year--lost half my net worth but didn't manage to get rid of my husband. :wow:

Well done guys.

As others have said, losing that amount of weight will absolutely have a serious affect on your swing. While you may struggle in the short term, the horizon looks good. There is no doubt that the improvement in your range of motion and stamina will lead to hitting the ball further with more control longer into the round!

thanks guys i'll try some core exercises and some more range time.
