    my 1 cent,

    Not to bad.

    The overswing is fine (not great but workable).

    By changing how you start the down swing you could change that swing easy to a in-in, and you would be going straight.

    How is the swing master going?

    Doesn't look that bad to me. The main issue to my untrained eyes, is that you just need to work on your balance and posture a little. Maybe a little outside-in swing plane too. But that can be managed.

    To be honest I don't think I regularly swing the club as badly as that video. I know I do swing too fast and if I slow it up I get way more consistency out of my shots and surprisingly a bit more distance.

    I was getting lessons for a while then Pennants started and my pro advised not to change anything until that was over, then there was the club Matchplay champs & now the is the Club Championships; when am I supposed to get a new swing in here?

    So I really have a new takeaway and backswing (I still go a little too far) and the rest of the swing is 20 odd years of making it worse.

    So the Worst swing in OzGolf is a works in Progress & I hope you all enjoy my trials and tribulations.

    Grant,

    Good luck with your "work in progress". Funny I said exactly the same thing to Jimandr during our last game ... that my swing is a work in progress. I've been working on swing changes for over a year now, initially with a coach and now on my own.

    We should have a range session again soon and compare our works in progress ...

    Sounds like a good idea jono, I guess Homebush is a good meeting point for most OzGolfers. I will have the tape in the Video cam next time and will be able to put the swings on a proper vid program to break them down a whole lot better than the ones we took on Wed night. Also once we get more I could burn them to either VCD or DVD too.

    Camcorder with high shutter speed is the way to go. You can see the club positions much better. Lot of the camcorders these days have Sports Mode ... which is shutter speed of 800 or greater. To utilize the higher shutter speeds, you really need some sun light. Daylight saving is coming up soon ...

    Like me grant, you like to have a lash at your driver, but i differ in the fact that i control my iron shots by swinging what i feel is 3/4's. With your driver, you need to find a swing that works, but where you will drop that handicap is putting the ball on the green with the irons, and when you do miss, miss by a tiny margin so you can give yourself a good chance of getting up and down.
    Now as other people have said, your dowswing i believe is starting in the wrong place, you need that lower body being smoother and getting into a good position with your hands, coming from the inside a little, especialy with the driver.
    i would say start feeling like your swinging smoother, and working on getting your hands in a good position on the way down.
    my 2c's worth, always up for a range session aswell so let me know if your going somewhere and ill give what ever advice i have.

    Well here is another swing of mine from today @ Shellharbour Links. It was probably my worst swing of the day, trying too hard for the camera!

    It's all my fault, as I was the video taper. Venue is the 10th at Shellharbour Links.

    The shot was a poor drive, fat/skied only about 150m, but it was the first fairway Grant found for the day.

    That was awesome, Grant, you absolutely ripped it!

    Nice little fade back into the fairway, I like it.

    I went to a swing analyser today to see what if any changes need to be made to standard clubs for me. After initial measurements it had me as stock off the shelf clubs would suit me. I then had a few swings and got some reading from other inputs, face stickers & lie stickers on some clubs. 1 club was .5" longer. Out of that came that the 0.5"longer club 2* upright would be the correct configuration for me. The computer then list ed some clubs that would suit me ranging from Titleist 735's to Mizuno mp19's. Had a hit with both the Callaway x-20 and the TM R7 irons, very nice. Will have to save up the funds for new irons. May have to set a goal to pass before I get them.

    I second that, swing within yourself, so that when you have to rip it you can.

    If every shot is a rip it means every shot can be a clanger.

    One afternoon or 9 holes is not going to do it. You will be back to the current -Grunt in no time.

    I reckon 30 days, 2 large buckets each day at a driving range.

    As long as you're practicing the right things! Otherwise you will just be further entrenching bad habits

    Hmm ... That's about $750.

    Just hit 1 large bucket a day and buy yourself a BURNER!
