Virge's Swing.

[virge666]

Surely it shouldn't matter as it extends on the downswings and into impact. Isn't that a stylistic attribute.Some can keep the arm straight and others can't.

I attribute my slide into impact to this bent left arm... It has to straighten somewhere on the way down... the easiest way is to slide the left shoulder away from the grip.

just a guess though.

That's not the 1st hole at Bayview, is it?

Yep - our new practice tee.

[idgolfguy]

Doesn't coming down, with righ arm straightening push the left arm out and straight.

Does Bayview have reciprocal with the Vines here in Perth?

[Jono]

Doesn't coming down, with righ arm straightening push the left arm out and straight.

Yep, but it causes the club to cast as well.

The feeling I like is to push the butt end of the club away from me with my left hand and keep the right elbow bent and travelling towards the ball with right shoulder externally rotated. This causes good lag during the first half of the downswing.

Gents,

I got it.

Book me into tour school - I am dead set flushing it. I have no idea how I did it, but I played like shit until Punter got his tonne and then it all freed up. I have NEVER hit it this good. EVER. 6 under for the last 10 holes.

I have no idea how I get to the top of the backswing, no idea how to control the trajectory, and no idea how it clicked... but it is just bullet like and straight. Doesn't go longer or shorter, but just no effort.

Will get video tomorrow @ Narrabeen to put on display, if of course it is still with me tomorrow, if not, I will just lie and fake something.

Enjoy !

I need you to do a vid while your pissed, sitting on the edge of a pool table, explaining things about golf swings.

That's the only way i can comprehend what you say about swing mechanics

You're i Golf disguised as the mild mannered club fitter and swing advisor virge666??????

In all seriousness, well done. But did you get gazumped by a 20-something capper who shot the lights out better than you did?

[idgolfguy]

Well done. The bit about not knowing how it's happening will be the problem if it doesn't happen tomorrow.

Hopefully lightning does strike twice so that you can be prepared to catch it.

Awesomeness

Shall I assume that you lost it based on this?

[markTHEblake]

if of course it is still with me tomorrow

whenever I got it, it lasted two rounds tops - as long as it was the weekend. I still remember the flushingest weekend ever, I'd do anything to get that back.

[PeteyD]

sounds like your recent trip to SE Asia, all that flushing.

I just saw a new golf video of your swing, seems it wasnt on this thread? awesome copycat by the way, can you do Peter Jacobson too (and copy everyone)?

It was 34 waggles that really did it.

A few of the OzGolfers were there and we did a little contructive manipulation.

[markTHEblake]

It was 34 waggles that really did it.

the first thing I noticed was the Golfer69 likeness. 90 seconds of swing video, 88 seconds of waggling.

yep, even put an extra one in there for dramatic pause...

[TS]

Virge worked very hard to groove that swing, took him at least 10 minutes to stop the body rotation so it become more of arm swing only.

Virge probably won't break 80 for the next couple of weeks until he get his old swing back.

[virge666]

Just call me Mr Flushy Flusher from Flushville, Flushland, Postcode 0059

1st one is normal - 2nd is the Stinger.



7-Iron Front on.



3 Wood front on.

I've never seen you getting into this position before in your practice waggle/swing. Is it something new you are doing? You seem to be getting bit more lag in the downswing too.

Just a by product of the new downswing and how I use the left wrist more. All that Supernation stuff in Hogans 5 lessons.

Im heading to the gym for the next couple of weeks to do nothing but Core and back training... I need to find a away to rotate the hips without the slide... the slide is better, but it is still a leg drive and that is not good enough in the accuracy front.

In simple terms... I really dont have any control of the extra power i am creating - so it is not hitting the golf course.

[Zeusgolf]

Virge i saw this guy playing on Euro Tour last week....I got to ask what do you think of his swing....

Make me think I would like to be 4 inches taller and 15kg heavier.

Looks fine - looks a bit "leggy" on the downswing and the pivot isn't working that hard, what does it look like from in front ?

I would be sending him to those bio kinetic guys, his lower half could be better.

[Zeusgolf]

Thanks for your thoughts...his swing looks way more balanced now.....which made me think of RSS.

He was flushing it all week and damn long....big leavers....

[Puji]

fk me.

his swing looks brilliant. shows how much i know.

It is pretty easy to see problems in a swing when the guy is off 20 mate.

As the golfers get better, it becomes a preference thing also more biomechanical tuning. Watch his right foot and right knee through impact, it is not stable - it is sort of lost and following. When you are at that level - your connection with the ground is very important. Some people will call it ballance, some will call it kinetic chain and some will call it rhythm.

it is all the same shit, with differing degrees of technicality.
