I put a lot of time and effort into it.
Gotta get that handicap down:P0 -
Hope you don't mind me saying and maybe it's just the camera angle, but you look like you've too much weight on your heels at address and you have a very early wrist cock which seems to lead to getting the club too much on the inside, other than that it's a great looking swing;).
great eye is right and why I linked the luke donald video. I'm too handsy right at the start and taking it inside a touch. My next thing for working on is try to get my shoulders turning right from the start and maintain my width. Like i said, get it swinging like Luke Donald and the change will be complete
as regards the heels, I was standing in someone elses divots for that shot so heels were a bit lower, lol 0 -

Had a lesson on Sunday, pro said I was lazy with my hips so he has me using the step through drill now to try getting my bottom half moving.
Played on Monday with it and the strikes I got right I really got right. The bad ones were appalling!!
Finished up par par birdie mind you

Very solid and good looking swing and wouldn't consider there to be too much head movement. Agreed on the lack/delay of hip movement on the follow through (it's something I'm also trying to work on along with a couple of other things) and possibly slightly more flex required in the knees as you appear to be standing a little straight.0 -

Do you pull the ball left alot with the occasional hook? You look to have the club face closed on the back swing as well as swinging around yourself a good deal. In saying that you have very good timing with the hips so could be offsetting and neutralising the closed club face on that front.
One other pointer is that you appear to have little weight transfer through the ball and stand very straight to the shot on set up. With the driver especially I'd be inclined to stand more behind the ball and get your shoulders turning behind it.0 -

Don't know that course Ricky, but the trees fairly guard that fairway in the second by the looks of it
A lot of the holes are tree lined - definitely a course that rewards accuracy over distance , hence why I was hitting 5 wood on both of those shots. There's a good few other holes around the course where I would take 5 wood out over driver, even on 2 of the par 5's :cool:realgolfgeek wrote: »Nice swing.
Maybe one point, your head on the takeaway dips quite significantly.
Put your mouse pointer on the top of your hat at address, and you'll notice the difference.
I've asked my coach about that before, he's happy with it.

He's happy with a large dip on the takeaway ?!
Out of curiousity, what's the reasoning behind that, seems very strange.0 -

Nice swings Ricky, I wouldn't dare offer tips
So..... Have you lost a bit of weight? Even with the horizontal stripes, you look like you've shed a few LBS's 0 -

well, I shouldnt say happy, but not worried about it is what I mean.
I went through a massive swing change this year and I'm still not complete, so maybe that's in his plans for later and why he is telling me not to worry about it.
Maybe he means, "we won't worry about it for now." 0 -

haha - well i didnt have much weight to behind with
It's either the fact I am just wearing less clothing ( possible )
or
The massive amount of stress brought on by doing this Masters has sucked the life out of me and in the process sucked every ounce of fat off me aswell ( far more likely! )0 -

I'm so long, I don't need to
There's about 6 or 7 holes in Athlone where I don't use driver off the tee. It's far better to have good position then be long and in the drink/trees 0 -

Jaysus Ricky, if you were an ice cream you'd lick yourself0 -
matt-dublin wrote: »another note ricky, your head seems very high up at address, because your head is facing forward and your looking down with your eyes I think this may restrict your backswing possibly causing that lunge on takeaway
sorry, tried this and it led to all sorts of problems.
no euros for you 0 -
