Best 2 seconds of my life !

[markTHEblake]

[Jono]

Were you hitting your Topflites?

[Iain]

Why isn't it going left??

[Courty]

Fore left!

[dc68]

Where was the hook?


Did it happen once the ball got out of the light?

[Jono]

Too much lag ...

[Jono]

Best 2 seconds of my life !

Actually, your swing was over in half a second. You were just posing for the other 1.5 ...

[3oneday]

who would know, it was May last year !

[haysey]

Jeez, I had a picture in my head of what the "hofather" looked like.

I wasn't even close.....

[Toolish]

Would love to see a fornt on. From that angle it apears you never really got to both arms straight...can't imagine the 30 deg right divot from that.

I concur.

I agree - that is a cut swing.

[Jono]

I couldn't resist. I have to draw some lines.



Notice how 3oneday's hands are at the same height both at address and impact. Also, his shaft angles are the same. Not many people can do this, even pros. Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, and Moe Norman come to mind ... So it baffles me, Mr and 3duckhooksinoneday, as to why your shots are so crooked ...

Agreed... 3's ability to get the shaft back to its address plane at impact is amazing. He's also got an incredibly steady head position throughout the swing.

Driver swing posted by the way.

A swing that will last into old age. Love it.

Assorted experts,

How is 3's weight transfer. My extremely uneducated eyes think they can see more weight than is ideal on his right foot at impact and are thinking that might be tied to the massive hooks.

As I said, I truly don't know s**t about the golf swing, so I'm probably wrong.

[3oneday]

I need to save this link to my favourites, it's amazing that I keep tinkering when I had one that did the job (mostly).

Crooked is from head space issues...

Thanks T, I hit 100 pills this morning with that vid in my head

[3oneday]

I agree - that is a cut swing.

very active hands, my cut swing is my slight draw

Not at all. This feature in 3's swing prevents the right side from coming in too early. The right foot only comes up when pulled up by the uncoiling of the left side around the centre. Not everybody can do it but it is a feature in many advanced swings. IMO this swing is what I call a "togetherness swing" where the hip turn and arm swing are very much together, in sync; this type of swing promotes a draw shape. The other swing type I call the "separation swing" where the hips turn very quickly and the arms go straight ahead; this swing promotes a fade, the spinning hips dragging the clubface ever so slightly across the ball. 3's swing needs to have the ball back a bit in the stance, even with the driver, and keep the left side coiling around the centre to the finish. Any thing or thought that interferes with the uncoiling flow will result in a hook; as will a set up where the trunk is too upright or to the left. The trunk has to tilt to the right.

I thought that was him in his avatar?

Is that really something to aim for. To me it appears the left wrist isn't really uncocking through the ball....

Would love to see one of your hooks swings to see how things change.

Geez you come up with some weird crap at times . . . he comes back to the same position as nothing else moves.

He hits hooks because his body stops moving. he is completely reliant on his hands keeping the club face open to stop it going left. If 3 releases correctly or gets out of sync - it is going way left.

See photo - without lines to see what is pretty standard stuff.

3 you need to get that right shoulder to the target earlier. And stop that BS pose - cause your follow through is rubbish. If you are interest - i can describe some drills.

EDIT: It seems that Scott and Toolish has picked the problem, IMHO, Raz and Jono have missed it completely. Raz is unusually off the mark and Jono is looking at something a little left field.

Toolish - just remember if his body was releasing the club head - his hands could still look like this. 3 is doing neither.

[Scottt]

That is the exact fram I was going to post, Virge. I pressed pause to answer the phone, came back and it was staring at me.

Just like what you told me about getting my right hip and shoulder over my left foot
