Title: No-Backswing golf swing Post by: dystopia on August 13, 2007, 01:19:15 PM This is the cover story on September's Golf Magazine. The technique where you start with the club already back like a baseball batter.
Anyone ever try to swing this way before, even just messing around in the backyard or at the range? Video here: http://www.golf.com/golf/video/article/0,28224,1651955,00.html (yeah I know it's a bad idea to read too much into tips from the golf magazines, but I'm curious if anyone has tried this) Title: Re: No-Backswing golf swing Post by: tdcoly on August 13, 2007, 05:22:06 PM Uuummmmm, that's kinda my punch shot from under trees.
Of course, I sukk at golf. ;D Really. Title: Re: No-Backswing golf swing Post by: Uisce Beatha on August 13, 2007, 05:29:21 PM Who's the pro who has a funky setup with the club pointed straight out in front of him at waist level?
That's goofy too. Title: Re: No-Backswing golf swing Post by: Clive on August 13, 2007, 07:49:21 PM I've done the swing like whatever-Adam-Sandler-was-called-in-that-movie. We used to goof around with it in high school in the late 70s and early 80s. We could hit the ball surprisingly well with that technique, although I did eventually crack the neck of my driver.
Dave Pelz also describes a technique where one pre-c0cks the wrists (club in front, I guess), then takes the arms back and swings as normal from there. Used when the backswing is restricted. I tried it once on the course when jammed ... and it worked just like my regular swings. And I mean the good ones!

This is actually a drill poularized by Seve Ballesteros and Jim Flick. It helps teach proper wrist c*ck and helps with swing plane. Both of the pros I've taken lessons with approve of it highly and told me to 'keep it in the bag'.
