    I'll host them if anyone still has the files. I have terabytes of bandwidth to kill.

    Indeed there is, and with what's been eeking out my rear lately the signature is appropriate too.

    Actually I'm interested in this and how it relates to the over the top move.

    I've been experimenting with trying to "block the tits out of the ball" with a reasonable amount of success. It seems that doing that has gone a long way towards stopping the whole body lunge that makes me look like I'm chopping down trees.

    I'm guessing that it starts with controlling the lower body cause I can't see how you can block the ball if your throwing the lower body at it, or have I got it bass ackwards and it's actually the upper body that causes over the top swings?

    Or should I just give up now and go play lawn bowls, cause all this crap is way to complicated for my simple brain

    Virge, to give the punters full enjoyment of your swing, you need to turn up the volume on the mic on future swing vids so they can hear you doing the "imaginary bluetooth" thing at address

    Haysey imho from what i noticed at Brookwater, put a driver in your hands and you have a totally different swing - yep the woodchop! try not hitting it so hard with the driver. swing thinking that it's an 8 iron. also, to not be so geared up for hitting that fade, no, it's a slice, off the tee - at the range - aim your body (feet, hips & shoulders) way right of your target and then try to move the ball right to left, back onto the target. just to get a feel for it. then gradually aim less and less right, while still trying to move the ball right to left. if you can, video your swing so you can get feedback looking at your swing rather than just what you feel.

    It is a lot easier than that... and I would not start TRYING to stop something... if you try to stop something, it is the first thing to come back when you get out of sync. (me as the prime example)

    You have serious, serious plane issues, and it has to do with your posture and how you turn.

    To fix it up, you need to understand one thing. The golf swing flows. so if you go way inside on the backswing - naturally you are going to go way outside on the downswing. Don't ask me why . . . but it is true. This is what you do and practice.

    So to Fix Haysey... all you need to do is go way outside on the backswing... and you will naturally come back inside on the downswing.

    Sounds too easy doesn't it... don't believe me ? Try it on the range. easiest way int he world to hit hooks and fades.

    Enjoy

    It looks like I will be playing Haysey first up in the matchplay, so keep filling his head with all this crap.

    Not required mate - he has too much handicap as it is. as long as he gets it near the golf course... the 3 pointers will kill you.

    Hey. Like I can't fill it with all my own crap anyway. It actually helps to block it all out and just think about one thing

    The bolded one is the key, if I can keep it near the golf course I'll do fine

    Can't believe I only get one shot off Courty anyway

    Alrighty Gents here are some swings from over the years.

    Before children hit - 2005 from behind.

    Still a bit active in the legs and hips - not too flippy. Quite liked it. I stayed over the ball well and knew where it was going.

    and really giving the 7 iron a rip.

    So - 2 years later it had degraded to this rubbish.

    The only thing not moving was my bowels...

    So I threw a tantrum after losing EVERY one of my pennant matches, thought I should get my act together.

    and

    http://happybandits.com/virge/Virge/VirgeStep2.avi

    then did some work on weight shift with thanks to Jono.

    and it still wasn't very good away from a driving range . . .
