Does This Make Sense?


Recommended Posts

So, I noticed something today... when I swing like an absolute animal with the driver it goes straight.  If I baby it at all who knows where it is going.  
 

I’m talking 110% full out and some swing gets the best launch and performance.  
 

my guess is the ill fitted 460cc bubble attached to a stick... so I’m just going to step on it full time now.  All gas.

What gives?

My guess would be timing and sequencing all work correctly when swinging full. 

The question I would ask is why try to go less than full?   Driver is a distance club.

A “controlled” swing as they say.  Coming out of my shoes isn’t something I normally practice. Haha.

Planning on it.  I’ll be touching the 120+ on course that way... hopefully I don’t ever have to say... “shouldn’t have been standing there...”

Sometimes that what I need to get back in sync. Take a fell full out swings and then go back to my normal “full” which is a slightly more balanced all out sing. Haha

Well it isn't "controlled" based on what you have indicated.  Guess you need to tighten up those shoe laces!

^^^^
This!@shankster I’m in the same boat; driver only goes straight if I’ve got the throttle opened up! As soon as my swing speed drops below 113, I start spraying it everywhere. Save the controlled swings for the rest of your sticks, let the big dog eat...

probably a tempo thing - ratio of backswing to downswing. once you change that the face/path can get all over the place.

(imagine a basketball player shooting a free throw who takes 3 dribbles, deep breath and shoots, now imagine him taking 1 hard dribble and shooting....rhythm, tempo and timing are all critical)

Growing up that was the #1 thing my dad taught me... 1,2,3 (to top of backswing) - 1 (to impact), 2 (to finish).

I think I saw a video comparing Bryson's old and new swings and while he's much faster now and goes from start to finish as quickly  as he used to get to impact, the tempo is still the same, just quicker back and quicker through so he's still in sync.

This.  I'd hazard a guess that "all out swing" is a better single swing thought than the thirty different thoughts that jump in your head during a more deliberate swing.

That settles it.  I’m swinging for the fences every time I step on the course...

Just to pile on, in a Hack it Out Golf podcast from a little while ago, I think the subject was how far tour players really hit it or something to that effect, Scott Fawcett (with full agreement from Mark Crossfield) opined that Greg Norman saying he scaled his swing back to 90% effort or DJ saying he scales it back to 85% effort was kind of BS in his opinion...that at the end of the day your playing speed is your playing speed and it's really not possible to effectively take something off your speed for the sake of control.  In other words, it might feel like you've lessened your intent a bit but the actual playing speed that you produce is still going to be remarkably close to an all-out effort.  

Hack it Out Golf is really good but that particular episode was very informative.  (I'll come back with an edit later when I find the episode number.)

Whether you agree or not, all the more reason to swing away!

EDIT:  It was episode #2, Dec 8, "How Far Do Tour Players Really Hit the Golf Ball?"

A video clip of the swing and valid ID please... still operating on the "trust but verify" from the recent abduction attempt 🙂

Makes no sense to me based on my "swing out of my shoes" attempts and results.  Tempo is the absolute key to my best ball striking, throughout the bag.  Like most, I do tend to lean into drives for that extra distance but try hard to focus on tempo. But if swinging all out works for you, stay with it until the results or your body dictates otherwise.

I’ll get a video next while I’m in Florida.  Just have to find a course without any nearby homes with lots of windows... 😂😂

My pro from years ago gave me sage advice on my swing. There is not swing fault you can’t fix by swinging harder.

In a serious note I had the same issue hitting a bunt cut driver. I starter just choking down on the driver and still going after it. Too many issues when I try and steer it.
