    Default Kristian's swing

    Finally got the chance to record my swing - apologies for the night time visual quality, but I hope you can see enough of what I'm doing. I'll try and get some day time vision tomorrow. 3 wood in hand.

    Cheers Zac...I clicked on the little Youtube button in the advanced post editor and pasted in the URL, but didn't want to work. And thanks for the comment - I'm not too unhappy with how it looks, even in the low light that I had to "work with".

    Looks like you got some distance on you.

    If I was you I'd stand up a bit more upright to create a better posture.

    Yeah, if anything that's what I'd like to improve the most, and not look so much like I'm slouching. I thought I bent my knees a little more than the vid indicates, so that's something I might think about tomorrow.

    And jarro, staying down a bit longer through impact is something that I'm working on constantly, but there's the odd one where the head wants to come up before it should...

    For sure mate, it's a hard habit to break

    Good luck with it all

    Get your right elbow in front of you right hip on the downswing.

    Tis a good place to start.

    My uneducated golf eyes see the same thing but that doesn't mean squat. My best advice... listen to virge, razaar etc! I concur with ParMaster in that the posture could be straightened out a fraction but it looks pretty good already - not sure if more knee flex is necessary but won't hurt to experiment I guess.

    All in all it looks a pretty nice swing to me, particularly getting to the top. Then I think something happens in the transition - maybe you could get the gurus to have a look at a side view.

    Just out of interest, what distance do you get with the big dog... you look like you give it some

    I'll be getting a side view soon...especialy so I can see where my right elbow is on the downswing

    I'd probably say I average 250 after the ball's finished rolling with the driver, with the odd really sweet hit maybe getting 270. I've had one tee shot that went 280 without any tailwind, but the fairway was about 10m lower down where it landed than the tee.

    I remembered to take my point and shoot with me to the range today (which I found has a 60fps setting, which should be very beneficial) - got some side view video which I'll edit and upload tomorrow, plus some more from behind. Still not quite happy with how my spine angle looks, and my shoulder turn after impact could be more pronounced, but I'll leave the rest up to the viewing audience to decide.

    Might take a little while for the videos to be ready to view. I can pick out a few quirks stand out that I think I could work on - will see if you guys can spot them. Also I think I'm beng a little harsh on my spine angle...looks better in the 2nd video than the earlier video.

    Use some golf shoes and work on your balance. Your left foot does a left turn mid swing and you're finishing with a reverse C.

    I do wear my golf shoes most of the time at the range - just left them at home yesterday, that's all. The mats at this particular one aren't the most grippy, so that might help explain the left foot movement. I do try and turn my left foot forward at address though - just picked the wrong time to not do so here.

    Reading through Virge's thread and seeing the work Jono's done with Peppas has inspired me to do some work of my own. I'll try and get to the range today and see how much things have changed since I uploaded these couple of vids...then get to work from there.

    Hell no. Although there's no doubt that it is on call every time I head out for a round.

    But it's what your namesake KJ Choi uses

    I've played with Kristian and he has a powerful swing. However, I think that he can make his swing more efficient.

    Let me show you 2 gifs I made ...

    Here is KJ vs DJ.

    animated gif how to

    animated gif how to

    Your's is not a bad move but I don't think you are using your lower body efficiently and as a result you lose your posture through impact.

    Once you have moved your left leg targetward at the start of the downswing, you keep your left knee flexed through impact and basically move the right hip and leg around it. As a result, your hips stall and you right elbow gets stuck behind you.

    Attachment 14991

    Looks at Dustin. He moves his left hip BEHIND him using his powerful posterior chain muscles (ie glutes, hams etc). His head goes down (common in long hitters) where as your head moves away from the ball. With the pelvis moving towards the ball, if you didn't move your head away, you'd fall forward!

    Looks at Dustin's preimpact position and compare to yours.

    Attachment 14992

    See the difference? Left leg is straightening and his left glutes are pulling his left hip behind him. His right arm is externally rotated with the right elbow IN FRONT of him.

    Yep, looks pretty clear to me.

    I was hoping to get some more up to date video (given that the vids above are 18 months old or so) today, but forgot to take my camera to the range with me.

    My lower body movement is something I've been more conscious of since then, and I feel that I have come a little way when it comes to bracing my left leg at impact and getting my hips to do more work. But still a few bits and pieces that need work (getting good compression on the ball at impact and having my head not move away, for example).

    I don't know what the groupings will be like on Tuesday at Long Reef, but I'll bring my camera and see if there's time to do some sort of videoing - either that, or we can get some dialogue going as the day goes.

    Hehe...maybe. More a case of me becoming a student of the golf swing and thinking a bit more about what goes into it.

    Been doing a little bit of swing analysis this morning and watching a fair few slow mo vids, especially of Charl Schwartzel. Lots to like in terms of the posture and overall efficiency in his movement.

    Also found this super slow mo vid of DJ from side on...really does accentuate the position of that right elbow and how early he gets it there in front of him!

    It's not how early he does it. More important is how far into the downswing he does it. Love his swing.
