PlaidJacket Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 That's right guys. At the age of 62 I've realized I'm swinging like a Tour Pro. I'll bet a lot of you do too.... but didn't know it. I've always wanted to have one of those pretty long flowing swings like the Pros. Picture Adam Scott for example. However, I've seen videos of my swing many times and that's when reality sets in. That is until today. I'm sure you've seen Jon Rahm's swing. Hmmm? That's not a Pro swing is it? Short and through is his method/style. Like me! Who would have thought a Tour Pro would be copying old Plaids swing? So which Pro swing is yours? Adam Scott or PlaidJacket?

jlew2144 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I've shortened my backswing tremendously in the off season and thus far it's come with good success. I just could never get all the pieces parts to go together as fluently as I thought they should. I take mine back about as far as Rahm does and it's working fairly well for me thus far.

mnfats95 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 John Daly. I wish i didn't take it back so far. Its what causes most of my swing problems. Me too, when my instructor asked me to shorten my back swing I asked by how much, he said 50% and told me I was still too long, he said 30% and that was perfect. So either my idea of the percentages of a swing is way off or I was going so far past the stopping point I was almost at address again. "I'd play a ladies set of clubs if it allowed me to break par."
