Thanks mate, thats quite a good wrap after looking at your smooth swing! It was your blog that has inspired me to work towards the goal instead of just mucking around thinking that I should be a better golfer. I don't have a coach as such but I do have a lesson every few months or so just to get the basics sorted again and any bad habits that have crept in identified and fixed.Murph, great looking swing!

Thanks for the advice Charlston. I actually used to have a wider stance but sometimes felt like it restricted my shoulder turn so I narrowed it a bit but I still make sure that I can hold my follow thru til well aftet the ball has gone. Having said that it does look pretty narrow in those vids for a driver swing. As for the tension in the right arm, I don't think that its a problem. I only say that because one of the few conscious thoughts I have before I pull the trigger is to relax my hands, arms and shoulders. You can see this in my routine in the vid before I swing when I "shake" my right arm and waggle. Appreciate the comments though mate.Murph, it seems to me that your balance is not what it should be. Try to widen your stance a bit when swinging that Driver. To the trained eye, your right arm also has some tension in it at address of which should be looked at.

Nice and smooth swing sounds powerful too are you driving with the standard stock Nike SQ Sumo (round) 460 stick ? what loft ? and what's your average distance from the tee ? cheersHere is another view of my swing from side on taken on the next hole. Again solid contact with a nice draw which went about 260m and actually set up a birdie this time.
Once again ignore the gay undertones of my mates!

If Tiger plays Lefty will he be that good ?

Yep all of my clubs at the moment are regular flex. I did not try a stiff shaft in the driver when I bought my set based on the salesman advice - which in hindsight may have been erroneous. I should have at least tried some different combinations but I trusted his advice. You are right though - I hit the driver pretty well and very consistently so I am reluctant to change anything but I do think that I could get a more penetrating ball flight and, perhaps more distance, with a stiffer shaft combination.The driver is actually a tour version Sasquatch – not the Sumo.
similar to Tiger’s … ??
you show good balance, yet able to generate the necessary club speed
have u tried a stiffer shaft….for your club speed…
i guess if the regular is serving u good..why bother…your swing’s tempo may allow for that regular flex anyway
still no harm trialling a stffer shaft if there’s a chance, that should give you a more penetrating flight with less ballooning and may enhance your distance too….
btw, are your other clubs ie 3-wood, Irons in regular flex too ?
36 holes is a marathon indeed esp in the heat of summer ! but good to hear you did well…..
sleep wellIf Tiger plays Lefty will he be that good ?
Square is Good ? Sure is, if it's the right stick !
