It's all pretty dark where I'm sitting ie, no can see a picture !!!!

[amanda]

Does the player just say "Connecting..."?

[3oneday]

Forget that, just my impatience

[connico]

i see you didnt go full horizontal with your iron there, wat iron was it mate???

and wa the 3/4 swing on purpose?

[Trung]

Conico (may I shorten your name is Con? sounds Greek but ok right?),

You only need a 3/4 PW to the Par 3 7th at 115m.... a full swing would be OOB for Matt

Nice swing
Jeez you must be flexible to have such a big shoulder turn but no hip turn on the backswing.It actually looks like it restricts your shoulder turn and at the top of your backswing and you have a slight lift.
Might be just me but I'd like to see a little hip turn.

with most of my irons i dont feel like im swinging 100%, only maybe 80%, lets me control it better, and on that 7th hole, i dont need a full wedge, so it was even a bit shorter

your right, i dont turn my hips, but thats what gives me alot of power, so as long as my timing stays in tact, i should be ok, but i might work on it if i become inconsistant, thanks for your input and well spotted.

Just thought i would bump this, anyone want to have a go at it again, swing i dont think has changed since then, but ill try and get a newer vid up soon.

Matt,

Looked at your swing couple of days ago. Comments:

(a) As Gaz noted you have a slight lift at the top of your backswing. Why? Because you are very/quite flat throughtout your backswing. The lift enables you to return the club to plane. How to check this -draw an imaginary line following the club to the ground. It should point at the ball for much of the backswing -your line points well outside of the ball.

(b) Great impact position.

(c) Overswinging with your arms/upper body to compensate for your wrists not setting properly -i.e. not enough wrist action.

There, hows that for some comments -useful or useless is up to you.

Miro you should be a pro!!!!
I went to see steve at bankstown a few months back, but after that video was take, swing changes since then:
1. More upright swing plane, taking divots now, pure iron shots for the last month doing this.
2. More wrist action, sets more power and allows me to attack the ball with my lower half and also get that flush contact.
3. same deal for wedge shots and now my wedge game works!

5 big fat gold stars to you miro, you picked everything up.

Will try and get a new video up soon.

[Ducky]

Where was the grave divot with the wedge?

[Matt 3 Jab]

6 years later its still the same swing

Just for fun

[Yossarian]

What did you play off matty?

[Jono]

5, I think?

[Matt 3 Jab]

Yeah, might have nudged 4 at my prime in 2004 but it always floated around 5.

Then had a blowout

Now id be happy to play off 18

Only playing charity games, and the odd social event

[Matt 3 Jab]

So I've been playing a bit again and the old habits are coming back. Here is a few photos from 2 swings today. Feel free to chime in but I'll also self report

Setup is rounded again, need to fix that posture!

Have stood up during the backswing. Again need to focus on keeping my height the same

Posture way out. The face seems way open but shuts so fast I'm snapping them everywhere or hitting high 50m draws. See next photo

High arms due to coming up in the backswing. Need to keep down!

Not too bad here but then......

WTF am I doing here??? Posture!

Didn't fall over some how. Pushed it a little right. Getting stuck on the inside.

[matty]

A video would be better Matt. Two things, you looked cramped and are you wearing a jet pack in the second last photo?

[timah!]

In a fat podgy chopper but I'd love to have your posture at the top of your swing! Pull that grip straight down onto the ball and unload!
