how's my swing?

[Jimbooo]

Spent a few hours with JO today... have come away tired and achy and hands covered in blisters, but all was worth it - very happy with where things are headed and I sure did learn a lot (many thanks James).

Anyway, here are some of my swings... all 8-iron DTL. Comments welcome.

Looks good mate and you didn't end up with JO's push fade!!

And I'm not giving you any shots next time we play!

Very consistent. It really doesn't matter how you swing the club as long as you know where the ball is going to go and your dispersion on those shots looked very tight.

 

[SocketRocket]

Very nice. Looks from the back you are stack & tilting. Did you work on this?

Finally: Would you like some of us to beat up your barber

 

[Scottjd1]

Errrr ... Nice ! :whoo:

 

[Alex1975]

Looks like you give it a good thump. Mind if I ask what you play off?

 

[upsidedown]

Nice. Is that the uphill range JO ?

He hasn't got a h/cap yet.

Is that the uphill range

It is, the camera doesn't do it justice... you wouldn't want to walk up it

 

[chrisd]

He hasn't got a h/cap yet.

Well - he has made me give him shots when we have played AND he has said that its like playing with his dad!!!

I wouldn't mind but I've got much more hair than him

 

[Jimbooo]

right. that's it. i'm getting a wig.

 

[chrisd]

right. that's it. i'm getting a wig.

I hope you spend more on it than you did on the current one!

The plan is to put in 3 shonky cards....... then win the Trilby Tour in 2014

NICE!!!
does your teacher say anything else[smile]
does your normal shot go left of your intended target.
I only ask because you set up like me,and i do go left of my intended target.

Thought I saw a pull draw myself but was waiting for others to see if they noticed it too.

 

[Jimbooo]

Thanks all, some pretty hair-raising comments guys!

Sometimes I pull-draw, yeah, but I think its usually when I turn my hands over at impact (a long-standing habit I'm trying to break). If I don't do that, it goes pretty straight.

 

[CMAC]

i saw 1 pull and 1 slight fade

when are you posting the vids after JO gave you some help?









kidding, nice rhythm and tempo:thup:

Jimbooo's swingpath (HSP) looks like it's a couple of degrees to the left which is ideal for straight ball flight... I'd rather he got a fraction more to the inside and guaranteed a small push to the right (with draw) on every shot, hopefully that'll come when he shifts his weight a bit better to the left in transition, work in progress.

Would like to see those hands a little further from the thighs at address and the club go up a little steeper so the clubhead is closer to the HSP at P2 (it goes up under the plane and comes down slightly over it, which is the WRONG WAY ROUND. The hands then get high and start moving away from the body = shank recipe). It's better to go up a little steeper and drop the club than go shallow then loop the club up and over. Again it's work in progress and will hopefully refine itself. Don't be scared to go left... it's meant to happen in ALL swings.

Here's a picture of Pieman.. he bombs it 280 without trying... check out how he's got his left hip to move to the left BEFORE he even gets the club to start down

(look at the tree to the right of his left hip...)



and as promised here's a picture of Bubba hitting a push-fade with the picture flipped over to make him a 'righty'... (I believe he hits this one 360yds)

Glad you guys hit that range, farleigh would have been hell in that weather
