Denny,
Your feedback in relation to your previous comment? Not sure I was quite understanding your comment before.

Nice! Love the stability in the right leg angle and the powerful windup.

Here's another swing sequence from hg

hg,
Thanks for your help and work!

Mike O the swing looks great however it may be non automatic but can you explain why you backstroke is so slow and deliberate. As a swinger can you actually load the shaft like that. Appreciate your comments regarding it.

You're welcome...least I can do for all that I have learned from members like you who enjoy sharing their knowledge.

Good Questions
 

Good questions!

Question #1- why so slow and deliberate? We'll it's not a perfect world and as I correct problem areas in my swing - over swinging etc.- it just happened to be the avenue that corrected the most problems the easiest for me. (Who knows - may not look like that next year!)

Question #2-As a swinger can you actually load the shaft like that? No, not at the top/end of the backswing- but downstroke loading YES. At least that's how I would describe it in my movement.

The reason I thought those were good questions is that - I would agree that the backswing is bordering on or is unusually slow- compared to the majority. So while solid- the pace of the backswing does "catch your eye"- at least mine and looks like yours also.

It's a process - so while the slow backswing eliminates alot of issues for me- over time I may find that those issues are gone and the slow backswing causes it's own problem(s) and then at that time I'll speed it up - without having all the old issues from the past. However, as I've right now I'm hitting the ball so well I don't see that happening- only time will tell though.

Thanks for the reply. Glad you thought they were good questions. I know The scots pro who won the British open Paul Lawrie had a very similar backstroke. Not sure if he still does as he is well down the rankings and rarely gets T.V coverage. Only picking at straws as the swing as a whole is awesome with waht looks like very good impact alignments something i don't have. I have managed to play with a bent left wrist through impact and get to 5.3. Hopefully next year with the help of the Gallery i will get down lower.

Paul Lawrie still has that slow and deliberate backswing. I saw him on tv not so long ago and I have to admit its slower than when he won the Open in 99. I think I read somewhere that he and his coach (Adam Hunter I think) are working on speeding it up a bit.
