I didn’t hit a ball for three weeks, working instead on something that was bothering me about the setup and grip.
I was to have gone back to the range after a week following the last session but weather and life intervened, but I made it back out today, and what a change!
This is an absolutely massive development for me – I have only ever done my work outdoors, with the exception of having visited an indoor golf dome in Toronto, which was not the best place in the world to shoot video, and which was ridiculously expensive by the hour.
There is also of course the TXG analysis facility in the same city, which is very busy and usually booked for weeks ahead, to which I’ve been a couple of times, but I’ve always wished there was a place close to me that didn’t require the cost of a house down payment per hour.
I will be making a site formatting change shortly.
The blog site will no longer remain here, however the static website format will still have a blog roll to which I will continue to post, and to which you can link if you wish to go straight to the blog roll instead of the new home page.
I’ve had some exciting breakthroughs in the 10 sessions swinging this season, but I don’t think I’m at the end of the line yet when it comes to leverage.
Basically, I’ve been reducing my left-side impulses, bit by gradual bit, to where I have crossed from swinging left-armed to more right-dominant, but I’m still seeing too much left side influence in both the back pivot and down swing.
It’s amazing how everyone in the Modern Golf Swing industry seems to be unable to analyze golf swings except for results-driven praise or condemnation of said motion.
When is the first or last time you actually heard a golf analyst or instructor say that a certain pro’s golf swing was problematic or an injury risk?
Again, I am reacting to the Tweet and do not know or care who the person posting it is.
I’m sure he is not the only one doing this, so let’s just look at the content, shall we?
If you’ve never looked closely at the great recently departed Tom Weiskopf’s golf swing, or haven’t in a while, you’ll be very pleased to look at it.
In fact, other than one nit-pick, I would be hard-pressed to find anything in this man’s swing action or setup.
First off, this is not a personal attack on anyone featured below, whether it be golfer, analyst or instructor. My beef is with the entire industry.
I’ve been seeing a lot of Tweets regarding young Will Zalatoris after his maiden PGA Tour win.
I also got a look at his swing today, because as you all know, I almost never watch Tour golf on the television anymore due to heartburn and mental health hazards.
There are some nice things I see in one particular face-on driver swing I shot on Tuesday, with regards to setup and pivot action.
Of course, because I got so many things right, it was a blast, and I would have thought it was close to perfect from the face-on angle of it.
The reason you have seen mostly driver swing videos on the blog for some time is because of my work finishing the modeling and my own swing action regarding the MCS Classic Golf Swing model.
The driver is (for most) the most difficult club to control, so for me, while working on either the model or my own swing, I know where I am by how I’m hitting the driver.
