Non-Traditional Golf Swing Discussion

Since, there seems some interest in non-traditional methods of the golf swing. Here are 3 that I have tried or used. There are more but these three I feel...

You shamed me into it.

LOL
Unlike candukid, I am not sensitive so your reverse shame attempt is futile

Seriously though, what's the big deal? Our swing is our swing no need to be ashamed of it. I've posted several of mine, I'd love to see other guys post theirs, it's fun to see. It can be an eye opener though. I've been fighting a severe arm overrun for years, developed it when I used to try to hurry to get loose and would swing the driver with headcover on and let the arms collapse at the top to help stretch me out. Anyway, tried the Trahan swing where the club should be straight up and down at the top. Thought I had it nailed. Video'd my swing and I looked like John Daly at the top except he gets his through turn and mine was a collapse at the top. I couldn't believe it! Feel is not real.

It was a triple reverse shaming so you fell for it. 😛

See how I'm looking over my left shoulder before the swing? That's where I intended the ball to go and where it went. My hips and shoulders are aligned way right of that but I had no idea. Fuck........

Maybe if you got some new clubs.............. :o)

sdandrea1 I'd say your feet and hips are lined up right but your shoulders look lined up right where you wanted the ball to go. I've often heard that the ball follows the shoulders and it sure seems true in this swing.

Another long LOL. 😆

Whatever you do - DO NOT ask for swing advice from this bunch!!!😈

Which is why I was hesitant to post the video. I still don't know how I launch the ball with that spasm/seizure I see.

Why not? It's not like you have to take it.

I HATE looking at my swing too......a buddy of mine is into photography and brings his video camera along to the course sometimes. I feel like I'm swinging like Sam Snead, but when he sends me the video of my swing I think, "Who's THAT hacker???" Unbelievable how "feel is not REAL!"

sdandrea1 I'm all for suggestions on my swing, take the good throw out the bad. I once posted my swing on GEA and got better advice then I did from a pro I took a lesson from.

If the ball is going where you are looking, you're golden. Swings are individual - look at
M. Wolff....

How much does your past shoulder issues effect how you swing ?

sdandrea1

Eguller

Thanks! Im happy with my game, just don't like what I saw. I'll get over it. I suspect my repaired shoulder, my repaired back, my repaired knee and my now need-to-be repaired knee affect my swing, yes. Add a stiff neck and 25 extra pounds on the waist and........

Spuzz

sdandrea1 I'll get over it.

Great attitude.
Due to various physical issues, I have had to tweak my swing over the years to accommodate the pain.
Still haven't found the perfect balance but I keep at it.
You strive to find the balance between the swing that doesn't hurt and the one that produces results you can accept ,so you can have some pain free enjoyment.
It may be fugly to look at, but so be it.
IMO, the most important factor is that your swing isn't the cause of the pain but the result of it,
(eg. your licorice twist set up) then don't change it.
🙂

btw, Weirfan has a similar set up to you. ie.OTT pull/fade or straight and he does ok
I could never watch him swing though. It hurt my eyes.
lol

Saw the winner of the 3M Open's swing and thought of this thread.

I won't hang around for the discussion, but figured I would post a link to his non-traditional swing.

KCee

Looks like a professional OTT move! I need to video a regular golfing buddy of mine for everyone here. His backswing is as bad as it gets, but he hits the pretty darn well. The pro at my club is similar. Absolutely horrible looking swing, but he always shoots under par.

garyt1957

sdandrea1 This is the new Junge swing, correct? You should've video'd your old swing to see how different it looked.

garyt1957

I'm inspired. I'm going to see if I can get some video of my swing today. I'm messing with the Ballard swing again.

That was my feeble attempt at a little humor - you don't have to laugh.
