Watch the shot tracker that shows the path of ball. Dead straight.

Thanks Ship, I appreciate your help alot and don't say it enough!

The initial trajectory is what makes it seem like it goes right based on camera angle not being right behind the player. Camera men stand off line to not be in peripheral vision.

If your swing produces a big ball movement either way it will be tough to make it go the other way as need be. Most shots should start off and simply fall one way or the other

He might not be responding for a bit.

It looks good...only thing I could say is that the club should be a little more behind you still on the downswing i.e. on top of your forearm)...but that may just be the angle.

wednesday played with my buddy who is a ~35 handicap, and i suggested we play the senior tees (2950, blacks are 3550) and i shot 32! Sure i had a LW into a par 5 (after a "quick hook(not quite ducky i was trying to draw and over cooked it just round the OB)) and then the next day shot 34 (made eagle from 180 on the same par 5 i had LW into the day before) from the blacks. Shot 37 today. kind of stupid really. bogeyed the first hole (EASIEST par 4 on course) and came right back birdying above par 5. But then second par 5 had 40 yards to green for 3rd shot after a poor drive airmailed the back pin

I would upload some vids but they look pretty similiar to the above ones....i think at this poitn i need to make my swing really repeatable by shortening it. Ship and JT and i think tfg have said my face is too shut at the top, but that seems like a tough undertaking as my misses now are right so i shutter when i think about trying to fix that. Also my short gameis pretty atrocious. I need to have my 52 56 and 60 bent. They are more upright and shorter than my old wedges, and i literally slice them lol. But i honestly believe when i get back to CA i will possibly be on the plus side of the handicap spectrum. Idont want to say for sure, but i think my lowest cap ever i was about a .3 or so. In the last 4 weeks since i got my fh 25 i have never gone from feeling lost in my swing to so good so quickly.

Ship and JT thank you so much fo r your help! PM me your FTP PS or UB names, and i can send a little present for your analyses

oh dem, ialso get good info from here xd

So i am officially bad again. After a month of not playing but 2 times and practicing about 4 times. I am pretty bad. The driving is terrible. At the range today, hit the irons at like a B-. Some analysis would be nice.


Heres two drives. Typical of my sessions. The slice felt likea very good swing, it was about 80 yards right. The hook felt real loose and wasnt suprirsed to see it hook. Here was a typical iron.

driver good i remember

this is a pretty big push from what i remember.

any thoughts would be great!


am i too steep at the top?

I looked at your channel to find a few face on videos b/c after looking at those dtl shots I had a feeling your grip was just way too strong.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yPgkE2ZaQo

and it is, left hand is significantly too strong, results in the club not setting properly going away. I haven't really read this thread but I hope my post is just reinforcing what everyone else has told you.

so i weakened my grip quite a bit on the advice of spenda.

here you can see the 'difference'

I really like a lot of your motion and wouldn't mess with much unless I could sit on the range and watch your ball flight more

in the grip video the 2nd time you gripped the club looked pretty much perfect to me, and yes, subtle grip changes can feel incredibly different, just keep that in mind. If it starts feeling comfortable you're more than likely reverting back to the stronger grip.

in the future try to include as many face-on (what you call "side") videos as you can, I like the lines of your swing but I'm interested in seeing how the hands/club are setting/breaking/hinging going back.

so first off...thanks spenda for the hint....

this weekend wow...what a great one....

I made the grip change early last week. It felt really foreign, but i was striping it even better than when i was in nc this summer playing 6 times a week. i was hitting off a artificial turf range which a lot of you discount but wow.

So friday afternoon after work (im a marine, we cannot wear our cammies out on town like air force/army) i decide since i had put in already 65 hours by firday at 3 pm, i would call it a day. I give my Marines a safety brief, and am out of hte office by 330. since it gets dark here by 530, and the course is right near base, i will go play. I have some clothes in my car right? Especially since i am a slob and may as well live out of my car....ISHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have a pair of shorts but no collared shirt....and think i have a pair of sneaks in the trunk....So i go into the PX (department store on base tax free) and buy a 8 dollar collared shirt. get to the course, realize i have no spikes, so i ask the pro to borrow his, but since i am about 6'2" and he is about 5 ' 8 he is hesistant cuz he doesnt want me to stretch out his 8.5s...fair enough, though i woulda worn them. Well i have a pair of ghetto timbs that i wear, they are the light tan boots you see a lot of black guys wear. I go out and rip it around in about 42, which i hit it well, just dint score, also i played 9 holes with a guy in about an hour looking like a jackass.

well i say to tyler, the guy iw as palying with, he is about a 8 who says he is a +1 or something " you know anyone that wants to play for money, ill play for anything really...." he goes yea....he immediately gets on teh phone with his buddy,

"mark here is saying he wants to play you for money tommorow for any amount you want"....im like ****...this is not good but whatever, i am going to afghanland soon, and whatever, im a gamer. tyler says to me...tee time 1230.

i get back home on friday after drinking, watch a few tin cup clips online, and decide i should get drunk the night before my biggest golf match (money wise ) of my career...
trip report on that night sometime???

i finally get out of bed at 1140 , and course is 20 mins from my house. I shower, and hit up 7 11 for coffee.... get to course at 1229. we are on teh tee. Me and Mike decide on 25/hole. i realize i am screwed. luckily at 711 i pulled out 250, however, tyler already paid my greens fee, and i owe him 65 cash...uggg....i hope i don't have to havehim come with me to the atm after the round...

oh great, i am on the first tee, and i have no balls... i have to run in and get some balls from the shop.. . prov1's uggg 16 bucks (rip off)...at this point my friend who works in the pro shop says, You are playing Mike? hes damn good! He s a struggling mini tour pro....ugggggggggg i am a dumy


first hole: I just try to bunt a drive out there somewhat straight, miss it a bit right, andabout 255 off the tee... hole is 400 downhill, i end up in fairway bunker...from there, i hit a fatish 9 iron about 50 feet short of pin in the rough, and have a idfficult chip. mike is about 12 feet for bird....

i hit a great chip about 6 feet for par. Mike putts.... goes about 4 feet by....I slide mine in....he misses....i am 1 up...wow golf is cruel..

next hole i hit left of green on par 3, he hits 20 feet two putts...he wins after i miss my 5 footer for par.

next hole is like 420 par 4, he hits perfect 3 wood, i hit perfect 3 iron, we are same in spot, we both hit to about 12-15 feet from 170. we both two putt nice. next hole 560 par 5 uphill both have pretty bad pars......next hole is a 410 par 4 downhill...

we both smoke drives....we get to the fairway, mike has 95 yards, hits deep about 25 feet over in the intermediate cut, my ball is about 65 yardsfrom green, i hit to 4 inches. he misses putt, i win, back to 1 up!


next hole is 195 par 3. I hit a great 7 iron off the middle teir, and it rolls back to 20 feet. He hits a prettier shot, but is about 25 feet, he putts to about 2 feet, i dont' concede....roll my putt in, nice! 2 up! i par the next 2 holes. we come to 9, which is a par 4 i make a crazy up and in for par, to shoot 1 under, he makes par, i am still 2 up.

number 10, we both hit bad drives, but he hacks his out to about 15 feet, and i was in fairway bunker, and plop into a teriibble greenside bunker, crap, he will win this hole.

well, i hit out of greenside bunker, one hop, and in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he proceeds to curse at me calling me the luckiest M Fer in the world.

long stroy short, i beathim 3/2. He hands me 75$ on 17...i was gonnan call him out cuz it is a 25/holematch, but i electo not be greedy ....

turns out, every one at the course was sayign how messed up it was i called him out ( i had no idea who it was) but really surprised i beat him...


sunday i played, and just played amazing, played 36 holes, and was 7 over with 2 triples....but i didnt have any matches....just played for funl.....yay!
