Firstly - thanks to Haysey and Tomsen for their FINE hospitality. Here are some swing captures for all 5 of us from Paradise Palms.

The main work in progress is Haysey, though once Tommo get his putting and chipping going - he will be dropping strokes quicksmart.

Nice of you to go to all that work for the boys Virge. It is handy to see yourself swing.

Only one comment from me and it relates to Haysey's swing. I was taught that the only way to correct a habitual over the top swing was to change the club face at address to very closed. The player has to go through a period of pain on the course, hitting the golf ball left and it staying left until he fully realises that a change of swing path is the only way to keep the ball in play. The golden rule being club face first, swing path second with the goal of getting the club face and swing path aligned in the same direction at the target.
Sorry Haysey, there is no other way mate. Use old balls for 3 months until you have a very real fear of the left side of the golf course and alter your swing path out to the right not into the left. Have fun.:)

Virge.. remind me at the champs to give you some stretches that will increase the X factor between shoulder turn and hip turn. These you will enjoy.

Thanks for this Virge, good to see what other swings are like and what I need to get to - becoming clearer especially Tommo's virtually no hip movement (takeaway).

Virge, nice job as per usual. i really look forward to your video's ;)

Tomo's stance with driver seems very narrow. I've been trying to get my feet a bit closer together, especially with the irons, but I feel like I would almost fall over if I stood with my feet that close together with driver.

I guess it all comes back to control and balance, of which my swing has neither.

s12raider
15th September 2009, 11:15 AM
Henno, that's what I thought too but felt my issues were so bad I would not make this point knowing Virge will let fly on my takeaway!

haysey
15th September 2009, 11:44 AM
Cheers Virge, was a pleasure to have you visit.

Horrific to look at myself on video. I knew it was bad but jeezus:oops:

It's kind of fun to practice with Tommo at the moment. Lots of "slap the ground you ****ing idiot", "you're not retaining that wrist angle ya big gay gorilla" and "**** it, I'll never get this, I ****ing quit" going on:wink:

Oh yes I have made up new words to describe me putting and chipping.. but I can't repeat them.

All I need to buy is two big stakes for hayseys feet...;)

I used to have a wide stance but for some reason and I'm not to sure why it just started to come in alittle...

Is it okay to have a narrow stance??

Try it - see what happens.

If you don't like it - don't do it. It really ain't that important. You have legs like tree trunks and you are not that tall.

It isn't a fundemental - it is a preference.

henno
15th September 2009, 02:22 PM
So it's fine with someone tall with chicken legs to have a wider stance?

Goodie.

My knowledge of the golf swing is questionable. Non existent really.
Interesting viewing. Very quiet swing, Tom. Everybody says you hit it a mile. It's hard to tell from that vid.
Anton gets some serious club head speed happening, I'd love to see that at full speed.
Courty's position at impact is just superb.
Haysey's swing is ... unique. But hey it works. He's a better golfer than me that's for sure.

Thanks heaps for the analysis, Virge.

I haven't swung a club since the day after that one, so I'll bear in mind what you were saying when I start again tomorrow with the boys.

As far as the lack of coil thing, it's something I've been aware of for some time. It's no doubt caused by my lack of truck flexibility & core strength thanks to my dodgy lower back. However, I think in recent weeks/ months, it's perhaps gotten a bit worse as I have been noticeably losing power/distance.

I've just discovered that my camera does 640x480 at 30fps, so I'll be taking to the range and recording my attempts at regaining some power/ ball-striking.

You need core muscles - as much as you can get. The core is what allows you to load you arms - the stronger the core the more load your arms can hold. Tis that simple.

When you get some vids - post em up or email them - otherwise we can have a look at the champs.

Life is good.

That is as weak as your core muscles Courty.

I don't know much about the swing, nor am I that interested in the mechanics of the swing, but as I said, that impact position is very nice.

24th September 2009, 10:11 PM
I've always said it. I still believe it. Your putting the day of our matchplay was superhuman. If you hadn't had, what, 19 putts in 18 holes I would have wupped you ass.

The 80 footer you sunk on the practice putting green before we hit off (witnessed by all) was the end of my chances that day.

I'm still having therapy.

Courty
24th September 2009, 10:13 PM
That was probably a career putting day. And I recall 2 x 3-putts in that round as well (6th & 7th hole) so it must have been at least 22 putts. ;)

Amazing that its been so long since Virge was in town. Tommo reminded me of this thread today and having rewatched the video I'm thinking I'd like to have a look at myself on video again.

Courty, do you still own this camera? Or do I have to remove the homemade porn off mine so we can use that.:D

What sludge?

Just a simple side by side to see how much he has improved his swing. Hard yards and great improvement equals great scores.

haysey

Don't go filling your head with sludge.


What sludge?



I've so much sludge in my head my mind is permanently in the gutter anyway:D. Its more just to see how things have changed, or even if they have.

The scores I'm shooting would suggest things have changed considerably.
But I'm not so sure whether the swing has changed that much. And I'm stupidly curious:oops:



Yes, yes I do. Please don't expose us to that sort of material. :(

Tomson's swing was nowhere near as violent as I was expecting, given the rumours. Pretty impressive. Must be those massive guns putting it way out there.

I'll be impressed if anyone watches both these right through

At The Bank nightclub in Townsville around 1984, one of the TGC guys bought along a video of some sports highlights, like crashes, tackles, hits etc to play on the screen. But he bought the wrong video and it was just like this one, a few blokes hitting balls on the practice fairway, probably Reggie and Ollie if you know them.

Once they figured out it was the wrong video and took at off, they were snowed under with requests by the patrons to put it back on, for some reason they thought it was hilarious.

(no i did not watch it right through - either one)
