Calling BS is the same as saying that the OP is a liar.  Besides using obscenity.  To me it's just someone trying to show how incredibly knowledgeable that they are about the golf swing and how they can look at a video and know another persons game.  LOL I have seen some golfers with low handicaps who look like they are trying to kill snakes with what they call there golf swing.  It does not matter what it looks like if it repeats and the golfer has a short game.  Nobody can tell from a video what another persons handicap is.

Seriously. I mean, have you flown to the UK and followed this gentleman on a golf course?

OP, I was the first person to question your claims re your driver swing, and I apologise for that. Sometimes my neurospicy brain leads me to post without a filter. I hope that amongst the noise you’ve received some help from the more knowledgeable people in this thread.

Yeah, I don't know the OP and I have no first hand knowledge of what kind of game he has.  I will simply take him on his word and go from there.

Partially agree......but, someone that knows what they're looking at can do a pretty good job discerning the general functionality of a swing just by looking at 2D video. Hdcp level is more murky because it doesn't directly and precisely corelate with swing functionality.

Yeah, but after 25 years on the interwebs, I thought that I’d pretty much reprogrammed that tendency.

We've all done it.

 

The miraculous thing you did, which included an apology and self-reflection, truly made you an outlier...and is extremely Un-WRX-like.

 

(it makes me think you are a pod person trying to impersonate a WRX poster....and made a serious misstep...)

yes that was just a quick lash demonstrating my swing speed to whatshisface that was doubting me, previous page is more representative. 
 

Understood, but I'm the guy that said the same thing about your non-half-hearted swings...so same thing, just more apparent, which is to be expected.

 

The good news is that now that R2L has set up shop here, your thread stands a chance to be one of the great ones. By the time it gets locked 3 months from now, we will have long forgotten about your actual swing issues, but you'll still be a small part of legendary Golf Wrx mythology.

@stevesteven1 you can take what you will from my posts and ask, or don't ask any questions as I will not respond to anyone else's posts within your thread except you.  I was asking you certain questions for a reason and I assure that if you go out and test what I posted that you will come back with some interesting findings. The ball flight  you create on a given shot should be the information you use to correct / alter the next shot.  First you find strike, then you control the clubface, then you control the curvature, in that order. Take care.  R to L

Okay I can't stay away so I'm back because you just provided the proof that the ball is too far forward,

I swear you could watch people fleeing a burning building and concoct an argument for why being *inside* is actually safer.

My response is to the thread title...  Didn't watch vids or read the thread.

 

Most people spend inordinate amounts of time at the range banging Driver, some on woods, last of all, irons, and think they are a plus with this, and not so with that.  They focus on what they like hitting, NOT so much on what they need to practice to be a better golfer.  Sadly, after range focus, you'd think those people would have tour like FIR numbers, but alas, that doesn't happen either.

 

LOL  I hope if the OP's brain has melted, after it reforms, and he can type, he shares his process.  😂

I only read the first sentence of this post, but I assume the information that followed was relatively unhelpful, if not completely useless.

I agree and glad you didn't read the post.  It wasn't meant for you in hopes of making you smarter or more courteous.

All good

 

as I was trying to say, I’ve been a one at my home course a couple of times, but I’m now a traveling 4. Definitely not exceptional and don’t claim to be 

 

have joined a new course but it’s been an appalling winter spring so haven’t got out yet

I’ll hit 20 balls with driver hard as I can since I do need more speed. Then roughly 2-300 mostly with short irons, mostly three quarter and or slow speed working on drills as per advised on page 1. Film a lot of it. Then plenty of chipping since mine is pathetic.

 

so basically hardly anything with a wood. I don’t miss fairways.

I just love how R to L is claiming he hangs back because the ball is too far forward and pros shouldn't be used for reference. 

 

1. Pros are a great reference tool assuming you ARE using what most do and AREN'T using their idiosyncrasies as the reference point such as DJ's bent wrist at the top, Koepka's lack of hip rotation going back, etc.  

 

2.  Whenever I have struggled with staying on the right side too long, my first thing to check is ball position....and if I need to work on getting left more, the first thing I do is play it way forward as a drill. 

 

When a bunch of instructors and good players all say the same thing, and someone comes in with the same old tired, incorrect, terrible stuff… I hope the OP knows who to listen to. I mean, I'd think that choice is pretty easy, but…

Yeah, that's SOP for you: you don't respond when people point out the many ways in which you're misguided, wrong, relying on a "feel" that isn't remotely real, etc.

Your advice is often worse than what many would call a "band-aid," because at least a band-aid prevents more dirt from getting into the wound.

 

Anyway, if @stevesteven1 has the faintest clue, he'll ignore your posts as you've ignored all of those posts pointing out how far and how frequently you're way, way off base with your swing "instruction."

@stevesteven1, don't overlook the tendencies you exhibited in your "fast" swing just because it was a one-off type swing. You still have the same tendencies in your actual, "regular" swing.

posting my driver as it shows up my faults clearly anything else stick out? (Seem to have some sort of ‘late extension’)??

[iacas]

Same stuff:

 

[Lefthook]

Lower head at impact is quite coming among top players these days

[stevesteven1]

Two new vids I ‘think’ closer to what you guys asked me to do.. 

 

hips are sooo slow and sure I need more knee flex ?

[Lefthook]

You are a better golfer than I’ve ever been, but ideally you should shift pivot point faster to the front foot during transition. Now you’re doing it gradually as the down swing progresses. And it’s costing you swing speed … and if you get dialled in precision will improve as well.

 

with a driver you can simply lift your trail heel early, and sort of just stay back. With an iron your better off creating a leaning forward feel after transition …!where you’re really loading into your front foot.
