Links not working mate.... :(

[peter_rs]

Follow the mans advice alo-> "file->save as" an view them on your computer.

[andylo]

Ahh! Ok :D :lol:

[andylo]

Wow!! What a beautiful swing.

You have shorten your back swing too :D

Do you think the club was a little under plane when it's on top of back swing?

[Toolish]

Do you think the club was a little under plane when it's on top of back swing?

I am not 100% sure what you mean here? At the top of the swing I feel like I am now in a pretty good position plane wise. My older swings were flat but I am getting closer now. I hope that is what you were asking.

Thanks for the compliment too :)

More changes...still a bit flat on backswing, but improving!

[Ona]

argggg! now your using putfile as well? damn.

[AndyP]

I can't comment on the swing, but that's an interesting place to be hitting balls from. Do you do that often?

[Toolish]

Pretty rarely...only if I want the mrs to tape my swing.

[Jono]

Nice swing.

If you want to get your hands a bit higher at the top, you might want to let your right elbow "fly" a bit. I'd personally leave it as it is though ...

[Toolish]

Cheers Jono...I am a bit flat on the way back, which leads to the low hands at the top...not my major concern at this stage though.

[Trung]

Toolish, great swing, what is your hcp?

[Trung]

just saw your golflink... oooooooops.. sorry

[Toolish]

Swing and handicap have never seemed to match that well...gotta get some short game happening!!

[Toolish]

Updates...mainly working on keeping my head more still through impact instead of the down and back dip!

[AndyP]

Oooooo, music track added.

Toolish, do you have a plan to start taking the club back more at any stage, or is it good as is?

[Toolish]

Pretty good as is, swing tends to get longer over time, then I reign it in again, maybe go a bit too far. Then repeat the process!

As it gets longer I get very wristy at the top, and inconsistent, so this length keeps it all under control a bit more.

[Ona]

mate I saw your post on the other site. with that grip, isn't your left wrist meant to be somewhat bent at the top? are you Hitting it now? if you are and you weren't before, how has the change been and do you think it'll be for keeps? If your swinging, looks like a 10-2-D grip, are you using single wrist action and angled hinging? did guru/willow sugest using impact address and the top position, or is that what you naturally leaned towards yourself? why do you get wristy and inconsistant when you go to the End? thanks for the update, nice swing Brendan.

Ona, the set up is from Willow, still swinging it, you are right on the grip call and the flat wrist at the top is something I have picked myself.

When I get too long I lose extensor action at the top which is where the wristy and inconsitent bit comes in!

Way overdue for an update here...aesthetically about as good as I have ever swung it, results have been less than great for a while but I think it is mostly mental

[Toolish]

I have signed up for some online lessons and as such had to record my swing. Thought I may as well post it here too.

Unreal how the same habits keep re-appearing! Looking forward to some direction.

Who's doing your online lessions? I had some swing analysis done by Eric @ Impact Golf MY (from the golf sidekick videos, if you're familar). Was very happy with the feedback.

Nice swing, sensational lawn.

Adam Young is doing the lesson and a practice plan as well. Followed him up after hearing him on Chasing Scratch podcast.

That is the good patch of lawn, other side has a lot to be desired. There are a lot of faults with the swing too!

Pretty easy to see the issue, what did they come back with to fix it ?

[markTHEblake]

Great to see another lunatic prepared to put dings in his shed. Mine looks like a house in Beirut.

That is exactly what I was saying regarding old habits. Hang back, pivot stall, flip! Have not had lesson feedback yet but hoping there will be a new thought process to address this as I have fought it for 20 years!

I have only one issue, sent one through an old net and my shed is now less waterproof than it once was...prompted a net upgrade!

[dee cee]

Adam Young is top notch…

[Toolish]

Adam Young is top notch… Have you had lessons from him mate?

[Toolish]

So Adam has come back with the details on what he sees as the issues. Laid a lot out but said he expects this to be a years worth of work. There are drills I have to do for each fault.

1. Setup. Too bent over and too far from the ball. Right hand grip is a bit weak.
2. Transition. need to learn to use the ground more, squat and get into the left side more. This just feels bizarre to me!
3. Clubface control. Get the clubface more closed half way down so there is no need to close it so hard through impact.
4. Hand path. Need to get hand path going more left and up through impact.

He sent me a 20 minute YouTube lesson, if there is interest I can ask if he would be ok with me sharing it.

[AndyP]

No "recall the feeling" tips?

[Toolish]

No nail hammering...no recalling the feeling...not sure how I feel about that.

[virge666]

Do it.

Setup, Grip and first move will cure most of what you have wrong there. The problem you are going to fight is that the new swing is going to feel SO WEAK, and you wont know how to apply speed on the downswing. that straight right arm at setup is death to a flipper.

Just go with it and keep checking with video. Allow the swing to be feel weak and slow and be amazed how far it goes with such a shit feeling swing.

[Toolish]

Have asked Adam if lesson is ok to share.

Did some work, this was from a drill, getting into the right position half way down, make sure to squat and get weight left, pump club a couple of times then go. Full swing isn't as good, but happy to work with this drill a bit.

Left in new obviously.

Looks much better - right hand still too weak and posture too hunched.

you will see what i mean from behind, get those wonderful titties out in front and swing around your legs .. not using them, get those lats in in the action.

[markTHEblake]

There are drills I have to do . All of that sounds like George Gankas? All the cool kids doing that. If you dont know, hit up IG @Georgegankasgolf

As for one of those drills, as hands return to waist high, get the feeling of right palm facing the ground ( as if there is a table behind you and you put your hand flat on the table) This will result in left wrist nicely in flexion at that point

You might think this will result in hooks, but the other stuff he is saying means you wont.

This just works for me, and its freaky how far the ball goes.

How did things go with Adam Young, Toolish? I'm considering doing his 8 week online course: 8-Week Course - Adam Young Golf (https://www.adamyounggolf.com/8-week-course/)

I just did a one off lesson and to be honest I have not put in the work I should have so progress has been slow. I revisit the drills and feels over time and they get me back on track. The lack of progress is a reflection on me, not Adam.
