Swinging opposite handed


Kor.A.Door

Recommended Posts

Haven't seen anything like this, I went to the golfsmith today, they never have a left handed sim set up, and today I was just goofing around, I has the kids with me, and they didn't want to swing, so I just kept the sim set up for right handed, and grabbed a LH 6 iron, and flipped it over, nothing new for me, I enjoy doing this, then I grabbed a RH 4 iron, and hit a few, the actually hit one past 200 yards, I also grabbed a 3 hybrid that was there, and have a video of that, I must say the RH swing doesn't look half bad.

So let's see who can do it or who can't, and post videos for all to see.

I holed out a 60 degree I flipped over and hit left handed out of a bunker during the Ryder Cup at my home course several years ago.  There were 25-30 people watching on the porch of the clubhouse too. So I've got that... Was just trying to get it on the green and it went in. My opponent was on in 2 and had a 30 footer for eagle and when that went in he 3 putted and I won the hole with a 3. LOL.

Have a ton of back-ups in all categories, but there are always 14 clubs in the bag that differ depending on the course and set-up. Bomb and gouge. Yes, I'm a club gigolo.

I actually learned to play the game left handed and then switched to playing right handed when I was about 11 years old since my parents did not want to buy me new clubs.  My wife plays left handed and so do my two little girls so I still hit balls left handed a bit.  I can move a driver out about 245 and fairly straight and can hit full shots pretty well but struggle a lot from inside of 100 yards.  

 

I also think that Mac O'Grady was the guy that wanted to play the Pebble Beach Pro Am as his own partner.  Playing right handed as a pro and left handed as a scratch amateur, but sadly the Tour would not let him do it.

I will work on the video when I get s chance with the computer. Iam assuming they won't open and play. I can hit a flipped over 8 iron out to about 135 yards. I was goofing around one time and hit my regular shot to about 20 feet, and then followed that up with the flipped 8 iron to about 15 feet. Do t want this to be just about bragging and saying that we can do it, I want to see some videos.

I can hit a baseball opposite hand extremely well but haven't practiced or tried it much in golf... Damn you for peaking my interest

I had a friend give me a left handed 8 iron to try this.  I'd just like to be able to move the ball well enough to get it out of trouble and to a fairway occasionally

 

It's not pretty...  Maybe I'd have better luck with a hybrid... :(
