      I think their distances (230-250 carry with driver ) also relate to the distances a good amateur can obtain as opposed to the top male players such as Rory carrying 325+ with driver

    i notice that her club face literally points upwards to the sky (or parallel to the ground) at the top of her backswing. I do this too, and ive been told this is bad and promotes hooking (which is my miss). Is it not as bad as i thought then? you can work with it? im not sure how i do that, and i just can't seem to fix it.

  • @glennsmith8390

    Great driver and excellent player-but last week she couldn't make a putt. I really felt sorry for her. She went from -8 to -2 in about 9 holes-missed tons of short putts. But I was glad to see she came out on the 18th green and helped the winner celebrate-great sportsmanship on her part. I really became a fan of hers for doing that.

    It would be so nice to hear a pro say, "I have not idea what exactly I do. I only know how to do it." Asking a pro about the swing is like asking a formula 1 driver to explain how the car works. They'll probably try and say a bunch of smart sounding stuff while the mechanic and engineer are rolling their eyes.

    Mainly, try and emulate their tempo...you look at an Inbee Park and think, I could do
    that...in fact, her swing is kinda funky. But 6 or 7 majors later, I guess her swing was just fine.

      @viggypops1183 Місяць тому

      @@meandmygolf. Thank you for the response gents. Oh I see now. It's tilting the spine (left shoulder higher than right shoulder) and fully twisting or rotating (with a club held by crossed arms as shown in the video) so your chin is pointing to the right foot, I think? I'll give it a try, although I'm not as flexible due being much older than Grace.

      @@viggypops1183 TBH just "feel" like your taking the club back to left arm parallel with a good pivot, for most amateurs you can generate much faster speed from that position compared to a long backswing. Padraig Harrington talks about this, check out his channel. We as amateurs dont need to go shaft parallel for most clubs in the backswing like the pros other than maybe a driver.

Her sweet spot is obviously 97 but you want her to do something different..it's like stupid pet tricks, give it up boys or UA-cam golf equipment and leave the pros to their craft. She was obviously professional and polite as well as a great driver.
