The "sledge Adlos swing" thread

[adlo]

OK, the driver thread seemed to lose its way. So here is a thread where can all sledge me for not swinging hard enough.

The swing:

Adlo melting one

I have these comments from the other thread:

Razaar: Coming out of the shot too early and not staying behind the ball. Everything has gone too early...

Virge: Right side has collapsed and left leg is straight. Pretty much standard hi flip draw.

Get your right hip higher through impact.

Razaar, are you coming back to the 1/4 drill you mentioned earlier? I seem to struggle a bit with that drill.

Virge, can you explain your comments at all?

I have had lessons in the past, but have struggled to really "click" with what coaches have said about the full swing. I'd appreciate any help.

OK, moved to this thread......

'Course.

on your downswing your hips are going UNDER your shoulder instead of staying level and ROTATING AROUND. Your posture changes about 4 times on you backswing and down to impact.

Repeat to yourself on a backswing - ARMS, SHOULDERS, HIPS
Then for a downswing HIPS, SHOULDERS, ARMS.

Do this whilest keeping your spine angle and posture. You need to swing around your spine, not move your upper body around to suit what your legs are doing.

Just rotate around your spine.... nothing more

Thanks Virge, I will see how that feels and come back to you.

Won't this make him hit big blocks/cuts ?

Shouldn't the arms start the downswing ?

Good question.

No mate. Something much more simple. Keep the left side of your face to the right of the ball position until the ball is well on its way (a common fundamental of all good golfers). On the backswing have only forward swing thoughts i.e the path the clubhead should take through and past the ball (to hip height). Pretty hard to think backswing and then forwards swing thoughts in 1.6 secs - the forward thoughts should take care of the backswing and is the more important part of the swing. (All great ball strikers have great forward swings). Swing at 75% pace until you can do it. The aim is to get that clinging contact out of the sweet spot. Have fun.

I got nothing to say about your swing as i know squat.

75% of his current swing!
c'mon he already gets laughed at enough even Jim in our group last week laughed at his girlish swing and he's pushing 80.

simmsy, I was getting it down there as far as Yossarian and Rebjon at the range, even with the collapsed right side and the relaxed swing. Imagine what will happen when I learn how to store some power???? I will only be 2 clubs shorter than JC instead of 4

Edit: Thanks Ray.

[simmsy]

yep i reckon you're about spot on mate.
when you are able to unleash the beast within you, you will be knockin it down 260+ no problems.

and i will be 4 clubs behind you.

[adlo]

OK, had a few swings messing around with what Razaar and Virge have said.

Raz, what you are saying makes absolute sense and I feel like I can implement it.

Virge, what you are saying makes sense but I have NFI how to implement it.

I will take some more video in a few days time when I get a chance to hit some balls and get some more feedback.

Thanks again.

Homo

lmao...

[parlyboy]

Honestly...not bad...well not as bad as yoss' swing. He did look like a homo.

[zigwah]

Adlo, try firing your hips as fast as you can, it will give you a feeling of leaving your hands behind. This helped me lots.

[TourFit]

The problem as I see it is that you are a bit cramped...

...you hardly fit into the picture at all ya freak !!!! Any chance we can get the camera moved back???

[Scottt]

Adlo, it looks to me like you asre sequencing wrong on the way back. It looks as if you are breaking your wrists and hingeing in the right arm before you even really start your shoulder turn.

Virge, Raz, do you agree?

[Scottt]

Oh, and cut those sideburns, hippy!

[just]

Oh, and cut those sideburns, hippy!

They are a sign of the profligate latte lifestyle he leads, Scottt, robs him of his strength hence the girly swing.

Awesome stuff.

Scottt, I know exactly what you are trying to say, and it bugs the hell out of me looking at my swing. Believe it or not, it is a lot better than is used to be.

[adlo]

And Just, who you calling girly?
