Uncle Bob! Advice on a swing please

[Heidi]

Hi Bob - this swing belongs to my lovely old friend Deek and he just wondered if you could give him a quick critique and a drill or two to improve his swing

he says he hits the ball about 200 yards with this swing - straight down the middle. He's getting on a bit and just wants to keep hitting the ball a reasonable distance

thanks
Heidi

I will leave the tips etc. To Bob. But I would be very surprised if he hits it 200yrds to be honest.

indeed! he claims that one went 210 yards...!

If he can hit the ball 200yds with that swing then I should be hitting mine 350yds at least...and I don't.

we think he might mean 200 feet

Shoulders are working OK-ish, but hips and knees look pretty stiff.

A tad S&T-ish!

I have played with old boys like that. 100 yards of carry, and another 100 yards of run. Not bad for someone 98 though.

He has the problem of many Seniors. He loses his forward tilt, as he comes through impact his spine tilt rotates and pushes his head past the ball. This normally produces very low shots.

Silly though, he does not do it in his practice swing. Tell him to keep his head behind the ball.

I put you in the middle aged category like me Roger.





Your carry is at least 120 yards as well.
