Lets hope so, I want to break 90 at my home course this week, but I'm feeling really weird right now, sore, achey, tired.. Might be getting sick or something.

[J_D]

If anybody would like to have a pretty fresh and nice 910D3 PM me, I kinda want a VR LTD or R11s... Or i20, or G20... I'm such a ho.

How much for the head NG? I'm not hitting this 8.5* high enough, unfortunately.

One thing that really bothers me is how you handle your weight shift. It looks like you set up with too much weight on your front foot so that on your backswing, your upper body moves back but your lower body doesn't. As a result, your lower body is way ahead of your upper body on the downswing and you add too much loft to the club.

Try setting up with your weight 5/50 or even 60/40 on your back foot, and that should help reduce your upper body sway.

Adding loft you say?

[J_D]

Looks like I have a buyer for my 910D3, So I'm looking at the 300 dollar driver range right now, I'm thinking RBZ Tour 9, with RIP Phenom 60-X, G20 8.5 with PX Black 6.5, or a used i20 if I can find one on here tomorrow.

[driverwedge3putt]

doesn't  look like enough forward lean for an iron shot.

[J_D]

There's not a single hair of loft added, it's leaning forward a bit and that's after impact so I've released it a bit, the ball has left the clubface. So no, that is not adding loft, adding loft would mean that the club is ahead of my hands and would then actually add loft, I might not de-loft it as much as some people but I've seen alot of my swing and that's the best exampel I could find of me not adding loft..


So lets say that this " / " is a very lagged shaft angle, and " \ " is a flipped club that adds loft, I am here " I "



My swing coach has looked at my swing on the computer and he says that one of the things I do well is lag it all the way to the ball.

I wouldn't challenge anything that was true, there is no defined amount of forward shaft lean to hit a good iron shot, and I don't add loft at all.

I'm discussing my swing, don't expect to say something about someone's swing that is not correct and have them agree with you, yes I could use a degree or two more of forward lean but it's not something I am worried about as of right now.

I posted swing vids because I want to share my swing that I work hard to develop with an instructor that is known for taking a JR Golfer and turning him into a competitive player, I never once asked for anyone's thoughts or tips on my swing, sure some people are trying to be helpful but I don't change anything unless my swing coach tells me to.

I was just being as polite as possible without using the phrase that is known as "I didn't ask"

I enjoy discussing swings and different techniques but you are not correct in saying that I add loft, nor am I mad or frustrated I am just simply defending my swing. Every golfer has his own swing that he has to be confident in even if he's going through changes, I am just sticking with what I know about my swing, I am pretty sure that I know what's going on in my swing more than you, no offense, but I'm not trying to tell you about your swing.

[baseballfrk8998]

He's just saying to not to get so defensive. There are guys on here that are just as, if not more, qualified than your current swing coach. You have to be able to accept criticism because your swing isn't perfect. If it was then you wouldn't be shooting in the 90's still. That's the point we're trying to make.

That may have came across a bit harsh but that wasn't my intention at all. Just listen to what some guys have to say as it may benefit you.

I obviously am not going to get anywhere trying to argue here, I am trying to say as kindly as possible, no thank you, I have a swing coach for that.

tell your swing coach you are flipping see if he can help you.

Then don't post pictures, videos etc. Unless you're showing them to "brag" or something, there is no point unless you're looking for constructive criticism. Perhaps keeping this a WITB about your bag (and not having 9000000 posts in your thread being your own) will draw less attention. JAT

Def Adding loft. Your hands should be far more forward, thus creating more shaft lean at impact.

Solid bag, you got some nice clubs and with some hard work your scores will be dropping fast. It's all short game and course management bro. You got a solid swing to build on!

Draw a line straight down from your right thumb to where the ball was sitting. That line will show that you are adding loft and your hands are not, in fact, creating any forward shaft lean.

[J_D]

The club has moved forward from where the ball was originally sitting and it driving into the ground, and I might not be de-lofting, I am not adding loft. Adding loft would mean the clubhead is ahead of my hands at impact, and it was not, if I was adding loft I would have heard it from my swing coach, and if I added loft I wouldn't take divots like I do..
I'd like for this thread to be cleaned up by a mod, because I feel there are some people just spouting false information, look at the ground, and look at the shaft angle, it's about 90* after impact, it's impossible to add loft if the club isn't ahead of my hands after impact.

[driverwedge3putt]

ok Tiger sorry your swing is perfect.

I liked checking this thread and your progress but you really don't play nice with others so I'll unsubscribe now.  Good luck with the golf game.

Swing is far from perfect but I don't flip my hands, I don't have anything against you or anyone aside from the fact that I don't flip my hands and it's bothering me that ya'll are saying I do. I'm about to get a sick PING WRX driver though and review it so that might be cool..
I'm not tiger, I probably don't play well with others though when they're just flaming me (seems to be a trend here)

But I'll post these pics just to help people understand some things better.. I might not be a great player (yet) but I'm confident that I'm correct in what I'm talking about in this case..

That picture is the model that my swing coach uses alot to keep me in check, I try to look similar to this but I have a little less lag usually, notice he is at impact, and I am after impact, so I do lag the club at the ball, and release it afterwards, so that might lead to the "flipping" and "adding loft" thoughts. Luke has a ton of release after the ball in his swing pretty quickly, I really like his swing and I use it very much to keep myself in check. My swing has been a little off this past week because I hadn't had a lesson in a little while, and had to re-correct some things, but I'm going to get it back to where it needs to be when I get over this upper respiritory infection.

So luke=lots of lag at impact.



This is some random picture I found, just an amateur with alot of flip in his swing, "adding loft". This is clearly after impact but I'm pretty sure he was already flipped at impact because his hands haven't moved forward and his right hand is released with the club a good bit in front of his hands.



This is Tiger Woods just after impact, with a shaft angle similar to mine after impact for all I can see.




And this, is me just after impact, with a shaft angle that is not "flipped" and not seriously lagged either, I could use a little more lag no doubt, but I am definitely not adding loft or flipping my hands.

[ilikegolf26]

Alright, whatever.

I'm not trying to be a dick....just pointing out the obvious. Your swing is as good as Tiger Woods and Luke Donald, my bad, yet you struggle to break 50 consistently....

[J_D]

Golf is a hard game, and no I don't struggle to break 50, not at all.. My swing isn't as good as Tiger's and Luke's but those pictures show what I'm trying to say, I don't flip at impact..

I never said my swing was as good as Tiger's or Luke's either, this is about adding loft, which I was accused of, and in fact do not.

So all of the "You're adding loft" people can stop saying that please.

[707linkster]

Think if you would have spent all the time you just argued about "shaft angle" and "flipping" on your short game.  Flipping or not, too solid of a golf swing for the scores you have posted.

[Thaddy]

11 pages of boring chatter about your swing.  Go practice you game instead of worrying about what other people think.  Also, stop sharing so much information, you're bringing this on yourself.
