Even from an ASSUMED Square-Square position. And your apparently Outside-In Impacts may actually be fine Pull Shots. Study 2-L.

The Plane Line is the BOSSMAN . . . and he don't care about your feet. I like the open stance. If you hit what are you going to do though? Are you using the Geometric Plane Line and tracing it? Or are you going to use the 10-5-E Visual Equivalent Plane Line Cross-Line to Right Field?

There are PLENTY of the dudes that make enough money to buy and sell me and you and Mike O that play from an Open Stance. So smoke 'em if you got 'em my friend. My favorite of all time Lee Buck does it . . . so make it happen Capt'n.

I'm not smart enough to figure out how to get video of my flickdid move out here. I have an 8mm video camera. I can mail you a tape though.

How big a boy are you? What's your handicap? Do you hit the short irons better than the long irons? Can you hit the driver straight? I was just wondering cause we may have been separated at birf. I of course being much much prettier'n you.

Not really sure how to differentiate between using the true geometric and the 10-5-E cross line. I just know that using an open stance felt great and worked great.

If you wanna mail me a tape I'd be happy to look at it, and I might be able to get it posted for you. Not sure, though.

I'm about 5' 11" and 200 lbs, pretty solid. Played linebacker and left tackle way back in high school. 'Bout a 10 hcp mainly due to not hitting any of my irons extremely well. Little better with my short irons, though. I do drive the ball pretty well. Usually straight, not much fade or draw, and almost always 280-310. And about the prettier part, the ladies luv the Mr. Clean look.

How 'bout you? Build, hcp, drives, irons, etc?

Video your swang from the open stance and see what that does to the forward sway deal? We need Axis Tilt.

PM me and I'll send you a tape.

I suspect in both of your cases the open stance is a compensation for a 'snare' (head motion), brought about due to a faulty pivot (pivot controlled vs hands control). The 10-2-D grip, combined with the open stance line, are reasonable ways to address this - but always keep in mind that the plane line tends to follow the shoulders - and play a fade.

Some daily eyes closed practice swinging a heavy club and holding your finish will help you with the 'snare' (3-F-7D - no teetering) - feet together at first. Also, I would suggest you try not using right anchor, which should help improve Rhythm. In your case(s), what 'feels' like a pause at the top will help you get to a slow start down and help you keep in balance.

EdZ,
Would HITting golf balls with the feet together be a good idea? It would seem to be a good idea if developing a top of the head swing center is the goal.

I have new video up of my swing after 2 days of trying to eliminate my forward sway. Feedback please!!!

Looks like you punched a midget in the face:eyes: :eyes:

The above is my thought of how hitters look through impact.

Your stroke looks better than the first one. Has your ball flight improved?

Hey Big Sexy, (man that sounds wrong)
My ball flight is higher and definitely straighter. My divots are much better as well. They were too deep before. As for the two swings posted on the geocities website, the one on bottom felt like a better swing and the ball was struck more solidly. What do you see in my swing now that you don't like? I'm craving feedback. Thanks.
p.s. what do you mean looks like i punched a midget in the face? is that a good thing?

I don't like how you lay the club off early and then try to get it back on plane...I don't like it because it's one of my biggest problems :) Hitters don't need to swivel the club like that, just pick it up with your right arm and punch it w/ your stump. Looks like you could let that right elbow fly a little, too. Check out the down the line video of Ted in the gallery and compare your down the line view with his.

That looks like my backyard! Boilers? You still in Indiana?

I'm weird and come up with silly phrases like "punch the midget."

The midget is the position of my right hand at impact fix, and I try to reclaim this position on the downswing.

I'm also not qualified, lol! Those were just things I've been told on my swing.
