Matt's swing

[Matt 3 Jab]

Thanks mate for the reply, so what you're saying is on the backswing, get the arms going back, then once they pass my leg turn my upper body and shift the weight and it'll help the backswing plane and will help reduce the "getting stuck behind"?

So start backswing with arms, then turn and shift weight?

Seems very flat, club pointing at the tree behind you on the swing at 3:40.

Longest 4 minutes of my life

The correct sequence is to shift the weight during the takeaway which is straight back along the plane line (ball/target line). This raises the right hip and the right shoulder allowing the hands to pass underneath and stay parallel to the plane line. The hands haven't lifted when they reach the right leg nor have the shoulders turned. Past this point the left wrist breaks with the thumb up. Your swing is missing this wrist element. The hands follow the clubhead as it goes up with the elbows together and the right elbow staying inside the right hip. The upper body has to turn to keep the relationship of the right elbow and right hip to the top. In transition we need the right elbow to move ahead of the hands and remain there until just before impact. This can only happen if the elbows have a clear path on the downswing. When the hands pass the right elbow the right shoulder internally rotates. This is a power move which should occur immediately before impact not further back in the downswing. With your present swing the danger is there for getting stuck and fireing early rotation of the right shoulder and a flip.

Im a bit confused by it all but hopefully it'll work out until i can be shown in person

There is nothing simple about the golf swing. I have found it to be a very complex discipline to understand.
I learned the correct elbow technique by strapping the right upper arm to my waist and practicing the takeaway and half swings. Eventually I could
hit 3/4 irons strapped up. This drill brings to our attention how much we need to turn the upper body to keep the right elbow down and in during the backswing.

Time to work on the swing.

Yes, back to RSS aka Edwin. Not as a result of P. Senior winning, but more a feeling that #1 im a puncher / hitter of the ball, and #2 i used to get coached by a guy who taught me this method and i hit it well but never stuck with it.

First range session was good. Hit the fade for once in my life. Will lose distance at the start with driver but felt my ball striking was great as was the consistent flight.

This was a good 9 iron, fade. Will be working hard to be consistent on both distance and direction. Making the bad shots better than now.

Always loved Pamps and Lonards swing. A long way to go.....

Just disregard the damn grass in front of the camera, going to need a small tripod or the like for the phone.

I get a please sign in error when trying to view the video.

Worked it out! Try again

Nothing too much wrong with that Matty. A touch flat at the top perhaps, but that might be the camera angle.

[mrbluu]

I like it a lot mate. Keep up the good work.

I think it might be the shortened backswing, but i do drop it a bit on the inside which im working on so i dont push it

[Lucasto23]

Oh teach me that swing please

[kiwitown]

Mate after seeing you inaction you have the ability to hit all the shots..

[Hatchman]

Bit hard to hit really poor shots swinging like that.

[oncewasagolfer]

That looks solid nice work.

[Matt 3 Jab]

Happy to post that the swing held up pretty well in the wind for a +1, 72, 40 points.

Go the RSS!

Cant tell much from that 1511 vid, but the driver vids are great, great swing and tempo, loads of lag and power and great camera work. Rays posts contain all the good stuff. Disagree with others you are too flat. I have the same issue with flying right elbow and can now control it on the range. Its a relatively easy change to make once you feel it because suddenly you feel both arms working together and pulling down the plane. It also helps stop the arms disconnecting and club getting behind. Its a bit of a light bulb moment when you feel it. By the looks you dont need any more power but this will add it as well as control. You can also use a robe tie around your body and right elbow, or hold a soft toy or medium sized ball between your forearms while you swing to feel it. As soon as it drops out you are flying the elbow. Also as others have said it does look like the club gets behind you at times, 3:40ish on the super slow driver swing you can see the perfectly timed flip to catch up (no way you are a flipper), I also battle with this but the simple fix is to not to let the darn things get behind you to start with, just keep em out in front! Feel where that is and dont let em behind. Much easier to do when your right arm is connected.

RSS has me playing a fade all day and loving it.

Social round at the springs with a mate today. Had Even Par 72.

Hitting the ball solid and my bad shots are still good. So its happy days.
