The "sledge Adlos swing" thread

[3oneday]

This is what I see

[Yossarian]

It is the rating of the video adlo, just below the title, top left.

Because hitting it onto the garage door is too loud. I was trying to melt it onto JC's truestrike mat. The balls I am hitting wouldn't hurt anyways, but their flight path has been calculated.

[adlo]

I didn't see those rating stars.

Yes, 3, I know what you mean. And yes, I think you are right. I need to coil more and that would bring the club more on that path I think.

[zacdullard]

That is a mad setup you have in the garage.

[adlo]

Sonny, one day you can have a junk filled garage come indoor driving range too.

[haysey]

He's gone somewhere for golf I think i read ?

He's golfing in FNQ. Nice of him to bring the rain with him

Virge, any help with this hip thing? I am struggling to understand.

I had it described to me as like using a hula hoop. And yes. I have no idea....
I'm about to steal my daughters hula hoop so I have some idea how that actually feels

[adlo]

Well according to this... and the headcover thread.... I might as well be hula hoop-ing every day.

So that's what that big crash I just heard was...

[henno]

Your swing's gayer than iron covers.

[adlo]

The only gay thing about my swing is the evil thoughts it puts in your gay mind because if its buttery smoothness.

I think I broke my hip

Why weren't you hitting a hybrid??? Instead of a fridge perhaps

Hands higher (more upright swing), with more wrist hinge (originally tried to write c&%k but it bleeped it out) and body rotation over your right side...then you won't hit it like a homo.

Can you transport that fridge around the course to give you something to aim at??? Will it fit into your new bag coming (or not) from TGW.

By the way, I have ordered more than a few times from TGW and they have been AOK??? Had no problems with them whatsoever...maybe they've read some of the shit you guys post (or even seen the homo swings) and have deemed that you're not really golfers at all...

JC, the Adidas 360s Red White shoes are awesome...just like wearing a pair of slippers (while not looking like you are wearing a pair of slippers - in fact looking super cool!!!). Did you want the cyan (BLUE!!!) ones?

[adlo]

The fridge does not have a home at the moment. Anyone want a nice cheap fridge in Perth????

TGW customer service dept suck. The website changes stock levels with much randomness.

Otherwise, prices are great and shipping was fast last time.

I am not going to worry about the high hands until I work out the coil/rotation thing. And I agree about more wrist ****. But one thing at a time.

[ParMaster]

OK, here is a 5 iron swing from today.

Swinging slow.... I know. Trying to keep the head down a bit and get the hips into the downswing a bit more. I feel like the swing looks a bit better. I can see that the same problems are there but I welcome thoughts from Razaar and Virge. Thanks.

Special credit goes to JC's truestrike mat and the free fridge we just scored for acting as a net. Excuse the state of the junk room- the garage.

Couldn't the ball easily come back and hit you in the chin like another WA we know of?

I think balls on chin is just slightly wrong.



Or not

[Eag's]

Oh my god!! I hope there was no beer in the fridge

[virge666]

Much better - I like it.

[TourFit]

Maybe the higher hands & more hinge WILL help the coil/rotation at the same time...

The centre of your upper body core (think chin or sternum) should move over your right leg on the backswing (...rotating against a firm right side) and on the downswing weight should be transferring to a firm left side...

I know you know this etc, but use the higher hands and more wrist hinge to get the feeling of pulling your LEFT shoulder at the top to more or less where your RIGHT shoulder was address (without dipping down toward your right hip). The hands are helping the coil by coiling you more efficiently...

That angle of arm to wrist at the top stays as long as possible in the downswing (lag & power) and all you are doing early on is transferring that weight gradually from your right foot to left and letting the upper body follow

[SeldomEagles]

Fire truck sake I ducked when that SOB came back off the fridge! If you were aiming for the door seal your only about an inch off. What has the fridge ever done to you?

[idgolfguy]

Don't the neighbors complain about the noise?

JC still hasn't got his mat?

Go to Bunnings and pick up some shade cloth. Two layers that hang off the roof struts or curtain rail across walls to the ground will do you fine for about $20. Easy to take down and then you can belt the 'truck' out of the ball without fear of injuring yourself or any passer bys.

[Courty]

Hmmm, this guy looks familiar.

Adlo about town

[razaar]

Somebody should teach him to tie a windsor knot. JC would be the man.

[adlo]

OK, sure, sledge the lack of shade cloth.

Courty, weird video.

Raz, any thoughts on the swing? You know the purpose of this thread?

[adlo]

Much better - I like it.

Thanks Virge.

I hope I can translate what you and Raz said into the driver swing.

Is there anything else you would change straight away?
