Just there. Anotherwords, not something that I recall working on- although i think everyone at one time or another might work on not coming over the top.
P.S. careful with the adjectives like "beautiful" on this thread- you're going to start another tear down beat up session by Tongzilla, EDZ and Martee on me!
Seriously, sometimes for any number of reasons "we" don't ask or want feedback on our golf swings- but when you get it - sometimes it can be very helpful. And like i said earlier- the critics are probably the ones that help you the most- I'll SHOW THOSE GUYS- I'LL BE BACK!
Mikey-Straight-Jacket . . . You were once over-the-top? Dude you have ALWAYS been over-the-top . . . . seriously . . . How did YOU fix the over move?
Tell us about the camera position. Where did you place it and why?
Thanks,
The teaching pro at the range video tapes me- all I know is he places a camera behind me and then on a separate swing places one facing me- he may have a system but can't really help you here - not my area of expertise.
Danny,
I think my handicap/index is a 1.5 right now. Although with the progress I'm making on my full swing- and some work on my horrid short game- I'm confident that I'll be a plus 1 or 2 in the next year or two- that might sound a little too cocky or Ya- sure! Dream on! But I'm pretty conservative when it comes to predictions- I see alot of things that make me believe that it's certainly within my ability.
Regarding your second question- i get that question from time to time. It's kind of like a validation question- Does this Golf Machine information work?
Did I read the Golfing Machine and understand the concepts and then apply them and immediately notice a great improvement in my game? NO
Here's my experience and approach- If you don't have the natural ability to hit a golf ball like GOD- then you've gotta figure it out. So you are always looking for better and better information- the more you know the better you are going to be in the long run. I found that the Golfing Machine was a true "Diamond in the Rough"- full of great information- all sorts of tools to help you solve problems. Here's the problem - I don't think it's written in a very good manner for application purposes- it's there but not self evident. The only good thing about that is that it's fertile ground for the necessity of AI's.
My experience with it's application is as follows:
1) I tried to do it strictly by the book- whatever that meant for me- and didn't produce much.
2) However, the overall principles helped me and guided me - i needed lag- that was a good practical guide for me. What does on plane mean and how do you determine it?- That was helpful. You basically want to hit down on the ball- good to know and know why it is important.
3) As far as practical applications like in item number one above- I found more often than not that I would run into something and realize I need to take it more inside or more outside or keep my left arm straight or whatever- and then realize Oh Ya!- That's what he was talking about! Or I'll add a little extensor action- hey that really helps in adding structure and keeping my left arm straight- Again tools to help you along the way!
That's the best I can do in answering your question- in regards to how it worked for me.
With regards to my second question. I didn't really ask it as a validation. I'm sold on TGM and have felt the benefits. Problem is while my good shots are better my bad shots are far worst. Just because i understand the swing so much better these days doesn't make implementing the changes easy. I used to flip it 'for England' when i was younger, but because i played so much i could do it relatively consistantly. I guess i just need to get practicing more and perhaps get some AI guidance...
Anyway thanks for the very comprehensive answer, i'll look forward to your next update when your off +1 or better .
