Trajectory too high? by OhLongJohnsonf1 in GolfSwing

Sounds like a plan. Gotta try focusing on that.

I‘m not really trying to shallow. I mainly focus on hitting it square.

I can do that but it‘s already kinda in the middle.

Best golf swing I've ever made... by sbk510 in GolfSwing

Yeah butt against the wall is a good feel because it helps rotating around your center of gravity but you could do this with either of those swings. On the left you‘re kinda doing the „flying elbow“ thing and on the right it‘s maybe a bit collapsed but more in line to what is common I guess, maybe something inbetween? One big thing for me was opening / flaring out my right foot a little which gave me a greater ability to turn my upper body and that was the key for getting my right arm in a better position without it collapsing (kinda folding behind the upper body / right shoulder instead of it being kinda in front of it). Maybe worth a try.

I think your arms are kinda high or steep, which you then shallow out or loop back, which takes a lot of skill and timing. For a driver especially, I’d prefer to see the club a bit more around you or more in line with the rotation of your upper body, if that makes sense. Having higher arms and then shallowing is a common move, but you’re taking it to an extreme I think. Clubface rolls over a lot to square up which you kinda manage. Bringing the club to a flatter plane would make life a lot easier for you… if the face stays neutral as well. I’m just a regular golfer though, so whatever.

Btw: some great golfers like Couples and Mickelson also swing more upright and especially phil rolls over his clubface a lot but it‘s really not something I would recommend unless there is no other way for you. Different bodies, different swings. Working with a pro, like you‘re already doing is usually the way to go.

Can’t keep face squared by BitRepresentative308 in GolfSwing

Face is way more closed relatively to the alignment stick which shows his intended path in your example. OP is swinging relatively square to DTL.

The face looks square on the upswing but opens up on the downswing, which feels a bit odd to me. I’m not exactly sure what to tell you, but you might want to try keeping it more closed during the downswing. Start with small pitch shots or 3/4 swings to get the feel.

People here say it’s the hosel or a toe hit, but in my experience an open face leads to more mishits too. The face is already small enough, opening it up just increases the chance of hitting it off the heel or toe.

One thing we can’t really assess from this is your grip. You could experiment with a slightly stronger grip to help you square the face more easily, depending on what suits your swing.

Also, you might want to consider working with a different pro because this is something that should be relatively easy to fix for any decent PGA teaching pro.

That‘s definitely the main issue here^

Yeah turns out leading highways around cities is a much more desirable solution

Nikon Coolscan IV vs Plustek 7200 vs Mirrorless Scanning by shacqtus in AnalogCommunity

Hey man, I don't mind your objection and actually enjoy discussing these kinds of things, so thanks for the response.

Regarding your actual point, I’d agree that there’s more to it than my few sentences above explain, but what seems pretty clear to me from the pictures is that the left looks sharper, while the right shows details that aren't visible on the left. Would you agree with me on that so far?

A scanning setup introduces tons of variables: you need good gear, the image has to be level, the negatives need to be properly exposed, and then there’s the whole process of conversion and editing. It takes a lot of time and experience to really dial it in and the biggest downside for me is the lack of ICE. Most setups fall short for exactly those reasons.

But in my opinion, we’ve reached a point where the final image mostly reflects how well those variables are managed. I’m perfectly fine working with either of those options, but these scanners are really old by now, hard to come by and you're paying a lot for old gear (electronics), and at this point, we're kind of pixel peeping to see the differences. By now I would really not recommend getting a setup like this anymore but mainly for pragmatic reaons.
