That actually looks a bit like my older swing, right down to the closed stance as the way to counteract the slight OOT. I know the pull cut well. Do you miss on the heel much?

The sequencing from the top seems to be the biggest issue leading to the hips being way too closed at impact.

I will take a look at the videos, thanks.

I used to miss on the heel quite a bit it hardly ever appears now. My miss is always out on the toe (due to being so vertical in my swing). Dropping the back foot is a band-aid for sure. Our assistant pro didn't want to do it but it was a fix that was needed to make any progress in the short term.

Slap shot - yes! I have been accused of that before.

If I add any more distance I'm going to have to find another club as I will lose golf balls off the end of the range non-stop (it already happens quite a bit now)!

very interesting

Huge ongoing thread on the Waldron arm swing illusion over on golfwrx. He chimes in quite often, seems like a great guy. Definitely a "light bulb" concept that helps you see the swing in a different way.

Ping really has great customer service. Finally got around to calling them today to set up repair and it couldn't have been easier. Had the same good experience the other time I had to send a club in.

They had a demo day yesterday kinda in the vicinity, but I couldn't make it due to having to play golf. One of these days I'll get out and test their new stuff.

Outstanding. Love stuff like this.

I was thing king of the closed stance band aid. It really can work for a while and if the misses are on the toe that is playable.

I am working really hard on setting up square with feet together the opening the front foot and not letting my back foot drop back. I had no choice as my driver went to hell and hit nothing but heel pull cuts that went nowhere.

I feel like I have turned a corner as I can o hard with driver and not worry about where the ball is on the face. I am learning I get some odd giant blocks dead right pushes when the clubs drops way below the plane but that isn't a huge deal.

Not even saying you have to fix the issue or anything just relating on my issues with that same set up. My arms weren't as extended as much as yours but the rest is oddly the same.

Oddly enough my low point control on irons has gotten better with irons as well. Nice bonus.

I will try to get a video of my newish swing tomorrow and get a side by side with my old one.

Stop aiming way right. Fix your balance.

I think I had 10 or 11 eagles last year. The wheel of randomness has not hit me yet this year though. Have had 5 2-putt birdies in the last 2 weeks, no eagles.

Och laddie, ye gie her ferr th' lashing dinnae ye?

Rules thing that always bugs me. So on no. 1 at my course, there is trees and a creek all down the left side. To the left of the creek is a spot where you can play from...(just chip it back in the fairway), then to the left of that spot is backyard fences. It's all marked hazard up to the fence line. Most of the time when you snap hook one, you never find it because there are cliffs and all sorts of awfulness down there. But sometimes you do.

Can you ever actually be out of bounds? or are you always just in the hazard? I mean, you can't get to the out of bounds without going through the hazard and once your ball crosses a hazard, it doesn't matter where it ends up I thought.

Incorrect. You can be out of bounds after crossing a lateral hazard. What happens here, and happened to me in an event once, the opposite side of the pond where there are yards, is considered out of bounds. If you stay in the hazard, then use that. If you clear the water and go into someones yard, you are out of bounds.

Basic reason for that is you don't want someone to play out of someone's yard because it was just marked as a lateral hazard.

They actually print that on the rules sheet for FSGA events now. Still wonder if I'm the reason.

I'm surprised I've never seen this rule come up given all the tournament golf I played in Florida growing up.

What happens in a case where you aren't sure whether it ended up OB or in the hazard? Suppose the ball rattled around the trees near the fence but you don't know where it came down?

What is the best website to track your handicap and scores?

used to use oobgolf but they seem to have been bought out

This.

You have to be reasonably sure the ball is in the hazard, otherwise it's OB. Basically if you're not at all sure then you're forced to take the worst of the possibilities.

as an inexperienced golfer this vid seems like the holy grail or a major magic bullet. idk seems super important, thanks for sharing

For those who liked that video, the book "The keys to the effortless golf swing" by Michael McTeigue does a very good job of describing the same thing, as well as the rest of the swing.

It's a really good book that helped my swing a lot. It cuts out all the fluff so it's short and focused on explaining step by step how to train for a solid golf swing. It was the first place I saw this 'arms go up and down, not across'-thing and it was a real eye opener. It's available both on kindle and as an audiobook from audible.

I am driving the struggle bus this year. Can't break 80 thru 6 rounds where I was consistently shooting 76 or better all last year. Suicide watch shifts are available. Apply in person.

scott...was wondering if you've tried out the Waldron ideas yet. i rewatched your video and those little wrist flips as you're hovering over the ball were what led me to post his video. everything you're doing is about taking the club backwards instead of away from your body. it looks like you have more than enough turn to make this work.

Not yet. I have a state am qualifier on Thursday and didn't want to cloud the head before that. Planning to watch this Thursday evening though.

Would also like to know the answer to this. Used to use oobgolf and then it got kind of weird and I think you had to pay for any sort of advanced metric tracking, I dunno. Now I've resorted to a homebrew spreadsheet.

The Grint is great app for tracking and HC

Well I wanted to go play 9 this morning before work but a downpour says no.

State am qualifier tomorrow.

This is what I went to after oobgolf died
