Free swing tips - new app called "Golfspace"

[bobmac]

That's the old method, nowadays it's central ball position, upright shaft and use the bounce. Your method is fine if you can chip but if you can chip why would you need to watch a video to show you how.

I would say it's harder to hit a low running shot using your technique, especially in the summer.

What do you mean? The OP joined in March and this is his fist post....seems legit to me

H'mm. A plug for an App - one of the many communications that can come under the umbrella of 'spam'.

Not really, just use a longer club for a low running shot.

And slide the club under the ball

Do you slide the club under the ball to play a low running shot?

No, I hit down on the ball, taking loft off the club

We have some guy with his first post trying to sell something and we have Bob, ‘our resident professional“. Your choice but for me it is a no brainer.

As I said in post no.9...

Who's to say who's right or wrong as there are many ways to play this shot, I just prefer to use one technique and I vary the club to suit the situation.

Do whatever works for you

For me I re-found a much better technique (from another instructor) by understanding & using the bounce of the clubs, doing what they are designed to do. For me getting the feeling the hands and the head arrive to the ball at the same time gives me so much more margin for error and the ability to play lots of different styles of chipping and pitching.

That would indicate to me that your head has moved away from the ball at some point during your swing, presumably on your backswing.
That would be the point at which my shot starts to go so horribly wrong.
Surely, you should keep your head as still as possible during the shot?

From what I can see the OP isn't trying to offer any swing advice, just highlighting a service.

Or maybe the 'head' that was being refered to was 'clubhead'?

Ah, it's still too early in the morning for me to function correctly!
It's all a bit obvious now you mention it .................... doh!

I know the problem. I missed a reference to 'best 8' (it only mentioned '8') in another thread.

Hi all, have you seen the app "Golfspace" on AppStore? You can upload your swing in the app and get free swing advice from other golfers. Do you think this will work?

Subtle Jacob…

I’ve seen the shitshow that can unfold when you get crowdsourced advice about a swing. Just go and have a look on Reddit etc.

Even seen some choppers who had just taken up the game critiqueing the latest Tiger Woods swing and giving opinions on how he could improve it.

And - surprise, surprise - zilch follow-up from him after his first post.
