Compare to the 04-16-2010 videos. I’m happy with how far things have come in a month considering I was in San Francisco for 10 days. The back swing is a lot shorter and just about where I want it. Still need to work on correcting the over the top move. This drive hit the fairway. […]
I’ve made great progress with the swing changes I mentioned last week. I stepped through a couple of videos frame by frame to see a comparison of the longest part of my back swing.
The club head is stopping a good 2-3 feet short of where is used to. It looks like I’m still crossing the target line a little, but I’ll take it because the shaft is stopping short of parallel for the first time in my life. With a shorter back swing, my head only moves a bit and so many other things are in a better position. My timing is off on the woods and driver, but has gotten better after a couple of sessions on the range. Iron shots feel great. I can’t wait to take the new swing to the course tomorrow for the first night of golf league.
Things to work on: Make a shorter back swing (stop at parallel) which will prevent the club from crossing the target line at the top. Eliminate forward hand movement before the back swing starts. Less rotation on the back swing. Start swing with hands and shoulders at the same time.
I don’t care what anyone says, Ken Griffey Jr. still has the sweetest looking swing in baseball.
