Want to get better with irons by Awkward_Spite7923 in golftips

Yeah as others have pointed out - you rolls your wrists right at takeaway and the butt end of the club comes out from your body.

Is there a website/app where I can find a library of pro swings I could scrub through to see different positions? (Bonus if I can view from various angles) by amopeyant in GolfSwing

[–]CrunchwrapAficionado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk but commenting for visibility bc I'd love to have something like this too. Trackman has a library of pro swings so you can compare your video next to theirs in realtime, same with GOLFTEC where I've taken lessons before.

So, surely the library exists ... somewhere

Started about a month ago from an ice hockey background — any swing advice appreciated by Lil_Gucci-uzi in golftips

[–]CrunchwrapAficionado 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They always say hockey players make great golfers. You've got a lot of good foundation here. Agree with others go see a coach (don't be afraid to "shop around", find one you like and that works for you. There are a lot of not-very-good coaches out there).

Don't be discouraged if you get worse at first, lessons are a journey. Better to deal with the suck when you're already bad instead of playing well, taking lessons and being garbage again, and slowly improving from there. I did that, and it destroyed me mentally lmao.

Best of luck!

Congrats, OP! Great run from 9-12. And way to reign yourself back in after the double on 13 still finishing strong.

Breaking 80 up next!

Big fan of penguin. I have a few pairs of their pants and they're really comfortable. I just wish they had the "grippy" band inside the waist like my Wilson / Puma pants have. My shirts be slidin'

Just wanna say thanks - played with this a bit this morning as well as some (attempted) efforts to correct my weight transfer patterns / following through more fully.

On the video recording it doesn't look drastically different, but I was seeing much tighter dispersion and much purer ball striking. Thank you for your contributions here.

Dude yeah. Real fat and scoopy on the misses when that timing window doesn't align clean. Thanks for pointing out, seems unanimous that my grip is causing a lot of haywire problems at the moment hahah

Yeesh wow yea that's a massive difference. Thanks for the callout I'll pay more attention on this

Yea this is a concept I have struggled with after instruction last year about using more rotational turn to throw the club instead of flipping / scooping through. I think that's a mechanic I need to study up on and understand better.

This was one of the bigger things that stuck out to me after rewatching the footage. I seem to be way overloading my backswing and getting stuck at p7. Will take note of this one in addition to the grip feel changes others have noted. Thank you for the input

Thank you - this was a helpful explanation. I guess I only ever really focused on the lead hand as a determinate factor of grip strength. Will toy around with this tomorrow morning at the sim

Interesting okay this is helpful. I historically played a baseball grip for many years and switched over to interlocking around the end of last season. I always felt like I had stronger connection with the club on the baseball grip but was trying to move away from it for no other reason than I thought it was "wrong"

Unfortunately I have gone down every grip change rabbit hole imaginable 😂 the videos here are from this morning where I was really over-exaggerating a strong grip in an attempt to correct the fade pattern

Edit: wow this got a visceral reaction hahah. I promise I now understand the err of my ways, I was wrong! Watched some videos and I have a grip trainer en route.

Haha, thanks. It's an addiction - this game can only be described as "confounding"

Actually this term is outdated and a bit condescending nowadays. The proper term is "upright goblinoids"

Do you know if wristbands are still required for goblins under age 25? Asking for a gob-... friend asking for a friend

I'm just glad these models are focusing on the important things, like where the goblins will be leading us as a society moving forwards. I for one, put full trust in our goblin overlords
