My Swing....

[Rooter]

Into the lions den i go...

I put myself forward to GM to consumer test a new iphone app, was lucky enough to get picked. I wont go into detail of the app now, i still need to write my findings for Nick @ GM.

Anyhoo, to my swing! I straight away can see i am back to my old ways of being too steep.. but will let the mob destroy my game.. let me know what you think, i am thick skinned, so go on...

Below should be 3 videos with real time and slow motion, along with a still for each club and each part of the swing. Lighting was rubbish and i need to play with the app more as there are light balance settings!!

Anyhoo:

dunno about the swing but that app looks good

That is a nice App. Would be good to see some face ons.

Good setup and It sounds like you are aware of your issues: Very steep in the transition, Swinging outside, having to lift up (early extension) as you cut back across the ball.

You could improve lots by dropping the club down onto a lower plane from the top. Can't see how your hips are working from this view but I guess they are not bumping back to the left as a first move down, this would help get your arms dropping more on plane.

I see you lift your left heel in the backswing. Nothing wrong with this as long as you plant it back down at the start of the transition.

I hope this is helpful to you.

Thanks SR, I think my hips are working to a degree, probably not enough! I do try and make left hip the first move, but most likely is the left knee and the left heel planting back down... Just need to get back to a flatter take away, I thought I had it sorted, then saw these videos!! Amazing what can sneak in when you don't see it for yourself!

Rooter, out of interest how did you post that sequence on here? I have now finally got a video of my swing on the app and want to get it on here etc.

Thanks

Looks good, I wish I could swing back a bit more steeply like that.

Montgomerie-esque.

Well i have just got back from a lunch time range session, and i have had the EUREKA moment.. consciously flattened my swing and only made a 3/4 swing, and oh my god what a difference... now have a really nice controllable draw and the feel from the club, ball flight "effortless-ness" of it it all is truly amazing!! on review of my pictures and video from my app, it doesnt look a whole amount different, but the feel certainly does..

Apologies, i still need to mess about with light settings... and a black coat didnt help, but it was brass monkies!!

Good improvement there, well done and glad to hear you are getting better results. Could go a little flatter still in the downswing but looking good..

Thanks SR! the ball flight improvement is huge, i couldn't believe it! need to change my alignment slightly now as missing my target left for the first time in my life!!!!

Just got to keep at it now, thanks for your input!!
