Dazzas Swing

[Dazza]

Hitting 7 Iron.



Hitting Driver. Started out over the tree on the left, but ended up fading into the middle. Could the X-Stiff shaft be contributing to this? Or will a shaft change not help?


All comments/advice welcome & appreciated.
Apologies for the weird angles, still getting used to using the tripod.

I'm no swing guru Dazza, but I like what I see. And I have to say, the landscape in the videos makes me feel extremely homesick. The Aussie countryside really is unique.

Nice shorts

Haha poor white legs don't get much sun!

It's a nice spot Scottt, just wish I could keep it off the beach!

I think Virge will tell you to shorten that back swing.

John Daly lives !!!

Nice swing.. but you rigth you dont need the over swing. The shouler turn stops and the arms just collapse over your neck - this is what we call "not connected."

It is just too hard to recconnect on the way back down.

Focus on keeping your right elbow down and pointing at the ground. Also try to keep it not attached but close to you ribs.

You will hit it just as far - and your fade... cough . .. slice should settle down.

More JB Holmes and less John Daly.

Enjoy

Thanks Virge, I will probably head to the range this arvo so I'll make a change and see how I go.

Played nine holes this morning, and worked on shortening the backswing.
Worked well, still hit the ball just as far.
Still fading a bit, but not as bad. Most straight, with a few fading.

Swing flatter - i hope you know what i mean when i say flatter.

More flatter, much more flatter.

or . . .

Be more agressive with the hips - speed them up and clear them UPWARDS earlier.

Either one of those will kill your fade.

Virge, that comment telling Dazza to stay connected - great timing. Something was rotten in my swing last week and I couldn't place it. A little mirror session after reading your post and I saw it and the "stay connected" shot out from the back of my mind, so thanks, even though your comment wasn't aimed at me.

All good mate - just hit half shots with that right elbow pointing down and glued to the hip. Then loosen it up on the full shots.

Great way to get rid of a slice.

Sensational YouTube link by the way...

thanks. Same guys who did Jizz in my Pants.

I did some pitching practice this morning, the tight lies at my new course have led to a few decel chunks, by keeping my right arm attached to my body and powering the swing with the body and right elbow it's so easy to get through the ball.

More flatter, much more flatter.

I don't.

Rain here has ended any chance of heading to the range this week.

[Dazza]

Went back to the bad old ways there for a few weeks (Swinging right around in the backswing) and sprayed the ball EVERYWHERE.
But I finally got back into the 3/4 today, and it worked well. Slight fade, but nothing I couldn't handle.

Thanks for the help Virge. I will post an updated video when I get a chance.

Wish I could swing half as good as you Dazza....looking good mate!

Thanks for that. Still need to work on a few things, like actually getting out & playing golf.
Biggest problem at present is the occasional fat shot.

Half Speed, just for laughs.

She is a good swing - but the takeaway needs a bit of work.

You're a big bastard so their could be soem flex ability issues but all in all, the shaft has to go AROUND, not as you have it BACK and then Around.

It all comes back to sequence. I would like to see that right elbow of yours folding a lot quicker on the backswing before you start moving your hips back.

in other words - just pick it up, then coil.
