Goal: +3 Next Summer

Recommended Posts

Looked back in and surprised to see the thread is still "alive" - really no reason to believe much of it at all. Throwing back out, wrists now hurt, lol, and emailing some random golf mechanics expert. Just trolling the Skytrak thing and enjoying it - PGA is over so it is golf's silly season, except for the Ryder Cup.

 

Post up some real stuff - swing vids, handicap index data, competition results - if the wrists can handle it. ;-)

 

I do wish it was April 1 - then we could be starting golf season again.

(even though I hit my long irons well) What club is this? It is just short of my 6iron ball speed but has half the spin........also - turn on the 50shot tracer if you gonna post up, infact better still, dump the export of the shot history

 

If I want to improve 6-8 strokes in a year, I'm not sure I want to listen to the guy who improved 2 strokes in 4 years.

 

Well, it was clear before you posted this thread that you had no intentions to listen to anyone unless they boarded your Delusion Train since you were already offered advice from people who have done what you think you can do by playing with sky track.

Why do you refuse to post your swing?

 

Too many negative people. I hit the ball well, my swing's not pretty but I may have solved my injury issue today. I don't see it going well.

 

People post swing videos all the time and overwhelmingly the responses are positive and instructive.

So my back either comes down to using my arms too much and pulling the handle, or following through too low twisting my back. Making sure to not do either one of those seems to consistently not hurt my upper left back, even when it's already sore. When I make my normal swing it pretty much always feels sketchy.

I'll consider it. Mostly worried that even with positive and instructive replies I'll start overthinking.

 

That's a fair concern (at least for me it is as well). If you have access to a good teaching pro then go that route. If not, take some online lessons from iTeach or Monte.

Ways to give good advice according to buckeye:

 

- Offer advice to someone not asking for it.

- If he's tried and failed with your advice, ignore and offer the same advice.

- No encouragement, tell him everything he's doing is wrong.

- Wonder why he's not listening.

 

Classic. I could not possibly care less if you listen it not but you had quite a few people who have done what you are trying to do and your mental and verbal response is

 

Nope

Nope

Nope

 

You are destroying your body through arrogance and yet somehow pretend you are a victim. People are trying to lessen your suffering by sharing experience but somehow, having never been there, you know better.

 

Aiming high is one thing but wanting to be an astronaut when you failed math, have a fear of flying and are claustrophobic is not aiming high it a fools errand.

 

No one said you had to follow an exact path but there are things you need to do that you have said you don't need to do which is just arrogance and ignorance at it's finest.

 

I invite everyone to read your other thread you linked in the first post as it explains it better than I ever could.

 

Again, put away your ego and try to realize people are trying to help and stop pretending they are raining on your parade.

My swing is clicking now. Can't hit 100% strength but at least my new changes are not aggravating my back.. Got in my head a little bit after 10 in a row. I think hitting a lot of balls, things will be so automatic that my mind will get used to hitting a ton in a row, it will be like brushing teeth. Good progress but need to get a lot better, the difference between 80% in practice and 95% in practice is huge. Dwight Howard makes 80% of his free throws in practice, good shooters 99% probably, but in games it drops to 55% and 85%.

You should do and post some SkyTrak combo tests which measure your "Dynamic Index" with each club. Due to the lack of standard deviation numbers from the data table above, it's very hard to determine how consistently you're hitting it other than eyeballing numbers.

 

For example, your Offline average is 0, but that tells us nothing (other than you miss left just as much as right). I see it gives your Dispersion above, which is 32.1 yds L-R and 36.2 yds front-back... that hints that your standard deviation is higher than it should be with a 7i, but again, no way to know without calculating it or letting SkyTrak do it in the combo test.

I'll check it out, I've only been using the practice range. How do they calculate dispersion? Left-to-right seems correct but front-to-back, my shortest was 153 and longest was 175. Still pretty big but quality of strike should improve with more practice.

 

I'll post swing video...eventually.

two of my friends are +1 and +3. They play 5-6x a week. They don't even know what golfwrx is.

There are Tour players on here, so I’m not sure what your point is.

I play at a +1.2... I have good rounds and bad rounds. My only advice I can give to you is that you need to play and play often. I wouldn’t worry about how well you hit irons as long as they’re in play. Off the tee you need to be in play. You cannot penalties from tee shots or irons that leave you in bad places.

 

Short game plays a big part. You need to be absolutely dialed from 100 and in. If you’re not, forget about scoring.

 

Putting too. I usually spend at least an hour working on speed control. Set up a ladder drill. I set mine up with the first string 18 feet away, each tile after that being 3 feet away. Hit 3 balls into the first tile, then second, 3rd, 4th, 5th then work back. If you miss one long or short start over. Our club champion who plays off a +1, much better golfer and more consistent than myself, usually takes upwards of an hour on just this drill.

 

Then hit 100 3 footers in a row. Don’t leave until you are done with that

I am using a divotaction insert inside a regular range mat. Are those my numbers from that session, and what would that mean?

 

According to statistics, you would be within 1 standard deviation of your average 68% of the time.

 

Meaning, you hit within + or - 8.3 yards of your average dispersion 68% of the time.

 

Or to say it another way... if you are shooting at a pin at 155 yards, you’d hit within a circle that is 16.6 yards (50 feet) in diameter around that pin 2 out of 3 shots.

 

... based on those 25 shots

OP, I suggest ignoring this practical, real world advice and go shoot 1000 jimbos a day instead
