In a lot of the head on shots of his stance and setup you can see the back shoulder is tilted below the lead shoulder. His body looks like a reverse K. I went to the range today and tried this. It was... surprisingly effective. Not surprising that the ball went higher so much, that's physics. But the fact that I hit it mostly straight given so many changes to my swing -- ball more forward, reverse K with weight on back foot, and avoiding forward sway were the main things. Yeah, I hit a few 25 degree moon shots off to the right, but again, for such radical changes, it went quite well. For some reason, and I hadn't started drinking... I used my Garmin A10 and, while I got a lot of good info, I never put it in the mode where I could see swing speed. My usual driver speed is 95-100. But I feel like the forward sway is more harm than good -- while it adds some speed, it often causes a more downward angle and a Mr. Snappy to the left. I plan to go back and use this mode. I also use a SuperSpeed swing speed knockoff, where I'll try this modified swing in my training. I did put the ball a little more forward than my heel. The instructor advised a wider stance to move the center of his stance back more. Problem with that is, for me, that it overly restricts my rotation. So I moved the ball more forward (which he said he does anyway) and it allowed me to hit up AND get the rotation. Finally, I tried this a little on irons and it was very effective. Not that I was trying to hit up per se, but I think I had the ball too far back. I was very happy with the flight of my W/8/6 irons, particularly the reverse K and keeping the forward sway down.

Alias -12 (-6**, -3, -3) 5. Fumble -10 (-4**, -3, -3) 6. Edjr -7 (-11, +1**, +3**) 7. Dain -4 (-4, -1, +1**) 8. Pat -4 (-3**, -1, E) 9. Cloaca +5 (+1**, +2, +2) Just because I don't know what my or Lager's schedule is like earlier tomorrow. ** indicates a counting score still on the course. Still a number of key players yet to finish so a good chance Jerry will actually be #1 after Benji An finishes, Alias and Lager battling for 3rd, Edjr should pick up a shot or 2... etc. I’m playing in a scramble at 8:00 tomorrow morning.

WhiteWonder 2,202 Posted May 11 1 hour ago, jerryskids said: I went to the range today and tried this Thanks WW! Glad to hear it! admittedly I learned it from another video that I couldn’t quite find that talked specifically about shoulder tilt, but I know you are smart enough to get that in this guys video the shoulder tilt comes from his focus on head and weight back. It’s the same thing. Like I mentioned, my head is behind the ball. my stance is not as wide as his, though I have the flexibility to do it when I want. In the vid I linked, he mentioned how moving the ball up in your stance can accentuate a left miss and this is definitely the case for me. So I have to be extra mindful to rotate my hips through impact and get my belt buckle pointing at my target line 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
