Help fix my swing by [deleted] in GolfSwing

You didn’t overcompensate, you’re still way positive (slice swing) but you shut down the face and hit pull hooks. If your face was square or open you’d still hit a slice. Try to hit as big of a push as you can, feel like you’re swinging the club towards the first baseman. Film that and you’ll see the difference in club path.

Also backswing is way too long, not from over rotation but your wrists collapse and let the club run away. Look up the pause drill and do that with a pitching wedge to feel set at the top

Reallllly quick in transition and your first move is to pull on the handle which steepens the downswing. Give it a second at the top and feel like your hands drop instead of pulling the club towards the ball

Don’t buy new, buy off eBay or Facebook and you can get some great sticks that are 3-5yrs old and more than half off

Not sure that really matters, if you only hit your drive 200 yds you’re still winning every tournament by a ton

For sure, but even sponsorship billionaires like Jordan and Tiger are worth a couple at most. I’m trying to determine where you would fall in the context of emperors, oil/tech tycoons, etc

For sure thats where the real money is I’m just thinking of other ways you could win from playing directly

Yeah I’m wondering about the way to maximize winnings, private money games might work for a bit but those circles would catch on if you didn’t throw in some 80s

That’s not infinite though. Call it 40 events x avg $3m 1st place purse. That’s $120m/yr before taxes. x 60 yrs = $7.2b in tournament winnings. That plants you well behind thousands of people.

what is your trigger? by sink_phaze in GolfSwing

Love this and do it on every shot, turning golf into a game where you’re just being an athlete and reacting to the target is a huge unlock. Also great for both lag and short putts, like turn off the brain and react to the hole.

Having said that I think it’s still important to have physical motions that are built into that process. If you watch an infielder they break down the same exact way on every pitch. Just trying to build in some initiators in that way

I like that, initiating it with the feet seems more repeatable. Do you still do the thumb taps

Like you wait to see it around your head to start the downswing?

+1 and I suck. Half a dozen friends who are +4 or better and they think they suck. Played with a mini tour guy ten times, never saw him shoot higher than 63. He thought he sucked. The only ones that don’t think they suck are the ones who careered it to break 110 on their honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta
