    Looks great. Can't say much beside your clubface looks a little closed at the top of your swing.

    Oh, I've got something better for ol' Larry...



    That's hitting my 8 iron off my back foot and hitting a nice little draw; something Larry has claimed is impossible.

    is that a TM rac or a Cleveland?

    Alan - After seeing both your swing and Larry's, if the two of you played you'd have to give him at least 15-20 strokes. Maybe 25.

    Definitely not impossible to hit a draw with the weight on your back foot. However, someone who is capable of calling a shot like that would have to be a better than average golfer. The "typical" person hitting a shot with weight on their back foot (not on purpose) would have a very difficult time ever hitting a draw.

    Swing looks pretty solid. I'd guess you're probably a sub 5 HDCP. Looks like a swing we'd allow to play in our weekend morning games.

    Oh, I know. I just like rubbing Larry's nose in some of his more outrageous pronouncements.

    I'm not near 5 yet (more like 10.6 at the moment), but I think that if I can just settle down and play this year, I should be able to get down to somewhere in that vicinity before the season is over.

    I was out tonight, and I got to play a couple of balls for the second nine as the sun was going down and my foursome broke up. So I got a lot more golf in than I would have otherwise, and I started to hit some really good shots when I stopped trying to figure out what my swing was doing and just swung.

    I still didn't score well, but I know it's coming.

    You have a nice grip Alan................Most people dont realize but,having a very superb grip on the club is by far the Most Important Thing In the golf swing. If you have a superb grip, in most cases the body will put a great stroke on the ball. You dont see people put good strokes on the ball that have a faulty gripping on the tool being wielded .

    Thanks. I don't know that it being "by far the Most Important Thing In the golf swing", but I know it's very important.

    I try and keep a neutral grip so that I can release the club freely, and not worry about hooking it.

    Sometimes, it even works.

    I won't comment on the swing, but I can say you would fit roght in at my course dress wise. T-shirts and blue jeans without holes in them are considered well to do at my course outisde competition rounds.

    I like the swing. Could anchor the lower body a bit firmer, and torque the midsection a bit more to get to the top... that would give you more power... but overall the pace is great, the impact sounds tight and the finish shows you are within yourself and repeatable..

    nicely done.

    how could i have missed that?

    i also find larry's comment on his youtube channel hilarious:

    You are a sicko. Seek counseling. It will be obvious to any psychiatrist that you have become obsessed with me.

    I am keeping a file of all the stuff you send me and say about me. I think the police will see a common criminal pattern if this escalates.

    Get counseling, Alan.

    This should be a requirement for all future swing videos posted, "That's for you, Larry" must conclude the video

    I'm sorry. Right.

    Thanks!

    That's pretty much my own take on it too. My distance isn't bad, but since more distance means you can use a shorter, inherently more accurate club for any given shot...

    I'm trying to focus on feeling the torque in the torso and starting a swing from the feet up that maintains that torque longer.

    Maybe "impossible" without graphite shafts. Oh, wait...guess not.

    Notice that teaching pros place their camera BEHIND the student? Duh. That is because most of the faults that would made the ball fly off-line occur on the swing plane, which can be viewed only from the back.

    Ah, Larry!

    A little late, but utterly predictable.

    Will this satisfy you:



    And I haven't spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on lessons, as you've claimed to have done.

    Nice swing Alan but a little lacking in the finish. I didn't hear any "That was for you Larry"

    I have taken enough lessons to know what I should be working on-- and how to spot the common faults that I and most amateurs make.

    And as I suspected, you allow the club to flip up over your head on the top of the backswing--WAY over the swing plane. You allow it to go up there instead of keeping it down on plane over your shoulders. You do what Hogan said in "5 Lessons" would break the glass pane.

    Common fault, not that serious, but it does make hitting greens difficult. It causes poor poor contact and erratic ball flight trajectory with irons--especially long irons (which I would expect you avoid). That fault causes VERY poor contact with fairways woods, and makes sand shots difficult.

    Spend some money on lessons---and learn how to fix it.

    Not quite a "nice swing." Lifting the club over the plane on top is seldom done by golfers who break 90. Those who do it must either develop some sort of handsy compensation--or learn to swing on plane. This illustrates the reason we take lessons. Most amateurs have no idea how to fix this common fault without help.

    Hogan's pane of glass swing theory is bunk and has been thrown out incorrect teaching method. Alan has posted a very nice golf swing that works for him. You can only dream of having anything close to that type of swing, and your petty jealousy is transparent. I believe you have owned by Alan, and I'll hereby refer to you as Larry, Alan's ***** (LarryAB for short).

    Please. You're not qualified to assess a complete beginner.

    And as I suspected, you allow the club to flip up over your head on the top of the backswing--WAY over the swing plane. You allow it to go up there instead of keeping it down on plane over your shoulders. You do what Hogan said in "5 Lessons" would break the glass pane.
    Utterly wrong. Stop the video at the top of the swing. My left arm is just slightly above my shoulder. In comparison, the best swing I've ever seen you make -- your latest 6 iron video on YouTube -- has you way steeper.

    Common fault, not that serious, but it does make hitting greens difficult. It causes poor poor contact and erratic ball flight trajectory with irons--especially long irons (which I would expect you avoid). That fault causes VERY poor contact with fairways woods, and makes sand shots difficult.
    Wow. Wrong in every particular.

    Spend some money on lessons---and learn how to fix it.
    After all the money you've spent, why isn't your swing fixed yet?

    Once again, wrong.

    The one thing I don't need to be with my swing is handsy.

    You're batting 0.000, Larry, as I knew you would!

    That much is not true.

    What Larry does is expand whatever drill or technique his current instructor (he's gone through quite a few; I wonder why...) is having him work on to include everyone.

    Larry can't stand the idea that there might be things that he isn't capable of doing that others don't also struggle with as well, and thus must endlessly shrill that "99% of all golfers" share his faults.

    BTW, kudos for actually posting a score (even it is somewhat incredible that a self-described retired person such as yourself would only have played once this month so far), but...

    ...how is it that someone who claims to be a 6 handicap could have shot a 100?

    Then click on "Current month".

    Just curious...

    Hate to correct you there, Alan, but Larry is credited here on GR with the invention of the Tai Chi golf training swing jumping grasshopper thing.

    You aren't going to try and follow me home now, are you?

    Hogan's method of expressing "swing under the setup swing plane" and avoid OTT is NOT bunk and is the basis of all teaching--before and after Hogan. NO PGA pro thinks OTT is better than swinging on-plane.

    This is too silly to debate. The blatant nonsense some people write here is appalling---

    It is not about me personally--or Alan. I would not bother writing about petty nonsense like that. I wrote about correct fundamentals-- that we should be learning from lessons.

    My swing is still "slightly" too steep in this video. But because I have absolute control of the clubface, the ball goes ARROW straight. I have actually improved my backswing plane since then--because I know how. I shot near par Saturday, hit ALL the fairways and half the GIR. Not bad since I am 20+ years older than Alan (who has a big gut).

    And then I posted 100 because I am on a project raise my handicap index. I will continue doing that until my index is consistent with my scoring ability. Sue me if you have problems with that.

I would drop by my club for an hour or so, warm up on the range, then run out and shoot 38. My mistake was posting those scores--because the system put those scores together and killed me with a 6 handicap. Fair is fair, and that is not fair.

    38 for 9 holes from the senior tees would be like 12 handicap, would it not?

    This makes no sense at all. You claim to have shot close to par in your last round on Saturday then post 100??? WTF???

    That's a 30 handicap. A 30 capper can only dream of shooting close to par.

    So what do you consider your 'correct' handicap to be?
    I chose the road less traveled.

    Now where the f#ck am I?

    Thats a 76 and when you post a few of those you become a 6 real fast! The tees don't matter (and I always play the blues because I can hit drives 230ish)

    I usually shoot 42/42-- about 10 over from the blue tees on good courses, for a handicap of 8 or 9. I can play to that. And I would bet on it. But I am NOT going to just give money away with a 6 handicap.

    Shoots a couple over par and posts a 100. FYI Larry...you're supposed to play to your handicap less than 20% of your rounds. Your handicap is supposed to show your POTENTIAL not your average or median. And if you shot within a couple strokes of par, your POTENTIAL is within a couple strokes of par. Sounds to me like a 6 is about right if you're shooting within a couple strokes of par once in a while. Alan is a bit off plane at the top, but not WAY off like I see a lot of people. I'm more impressed with his balance, smooth swing and transitions than worried about him being a bit off-plane.

    There's nothing I can't stand more in golf than a sandbagger with an excuse for doing it. Honestly post your scores and your handicap will be HONEST. You're a cheat for doing what you're doing. No excuses or reasoning. You're a cheater. Just like the people we catch doing the same thing and put their handicaps on "probation" so when they enter tournaments they are capped at a certain level or not allowed to play.

    Not saying others don't do the same thing you do (there are quite a few), but as a human you can make the RIGHT choice or do what everyone else does and sell your soul. Which one improves the world? Why do you think I refuse to play in handicapped tournaments? Because net scores usually come in near the low 60's. What chance do I, an honest +1 to -1 hdcp, have to win in any event? If I shoot a 66 (-6) and round of my life, I'm still not in the money.

    Disgusting.

    Uh, course ratings (used in calculating handicap) are different for different tees Larry. So they DO make a difference. Guess you haven't had a lesson or read a book on that yet.

    I can no longer stand these personal attacks and the hurling of feces and/or fecal-like matter on this forum. You guys have fun. I'm out of here. I am going to quit wasting time on this stupid board and devote more time to meaningful projects, like my Honest Handicap Keeping training aids like the HandicapForIntegrity or the RU Honest.

    So...

    This time when you say "the ball goes ARROW straight"...

    ...this time you mean it, right?

    Unlike the dozen other times you've told us you had it all figured out, right?

    And I love the "big gut" part, Larry. Because you're all about the golf and not personal insults, right?

    LOL

    And then I posted 100 because I am on a project raise my handicap index. I will continue doing that until my index is consistent with my scoring ability. Sue me if you have problems with that.
    Sue you? No. But you realize you're basically admitting that you're a cheat, right?

    I'll say this straight:

    You are flat out lying.

    Your last posted round of 9 was in November 2006 and the earliest score in your 18 hole handicap is from April 2007.

    Anyone who wants to check my facts can click on this:

    You're lying again. You said just the other day that you were playing from the whites.

    And anyone who cares to look can see that all the scores that actually make up your handicap were shot between June 2007 and January 2008, and that among them, there are only two scores that are less than or equal to 76.

    There are a few rounds of 9 posted at 38 or better, but they are from dates long since gone from your handicap.

    That would make your made up handicap pretty much equal to my real one; in fact, a couple of strokes better than mine.

    I'll play you straight up for cash. Are you game?

    Truth to tell, I'm hitting the ball better when my plane is a little higher.

    Actually, the funny thing is that I believe Larry is *now* posting his scores honestly. He's been a vanity capper to this point. There is literally no *way* Larry is even close to a 6.

    Yeah Larry no matter how you look at it, you're cheating. 9 hole rounds do count, I post them to my handicap all the time. Yeah it's nice when I can get two good 9's combined but I'm not gonna jack one up just to keep my handicap at 10.3.

    Yeah, right. Single digits win NOTHING. Check out ANY tournament anywhere in which high handicappers play against single digits. One of the highs ALWAYS wins because they somehow shoot their career best with 22 pops. I have seen 22 handicappers break gross 80 from the blue tees! Ridiculous. So for any single digit it is simply stupid to enter such tournaments with any hope of getting near the win.

    I play in those quite often, but I play only for fun, nothing invested and with zero expectations of winning. I do win "closest to the pin" quite often because I am VERY accurate with middle irons (I hit whole buckets in practice with one iron). Recently I won ALL the skins because of two closest to the pins. I shot 80 from the blues on a slope 138 course--and was killed by several high handicappers shooting net 63 or something. Their only competition was OTHER sandbagging high handcappers.

    So spare me the cheating stuff.

    Funny, Larry. The 80 you claim you shot is not listed among the rounds on your handicap page:

    I suspect cheaters always have a rationalization. The great thing is when you have an open and shut case. Someone who's caught dead at it. Like this instance.

    You don't need a confession. The facts speak for themselves. It's a shame somebody thinks so little of themselves they'd sell their honor so cheaply.

    It's a safe bet he cheats whenever it's possible and convenient and always has a good rationalization for it.

    I won "closest to the pin"-- twice in the same round and that almost guaranteed me the skins game win. I always enter the skins game if they have one-- and I have a great chance to win by getting closest to the pins. The high handicap sandbaggers can't even hit the greens, much less get close.

    I have a real handicap index, Larry; one where I don't pick and choose scores, or embark on "project[s] to raise my handicap". Anyone I know would call that cheating.

    I couldn't imagine someone being able to reach a few par 4's in two from the blue tees, if their longest drives are ~230ish. Anything over 400 yards sounds out of reach for you. What is your course rating, 62? Please tell me its at least 6,000 yards, from the blues....

    You think that losing makes cheating alright?

    I won "closest to the pin"-- twice in the same round and that almost guaranteed me the skins game win. I always enter the skins game if they have one-- and I have a great chance to win by getting closest to the pins. The high handicap sandbaggers can't even hit the greens, much less get close.
    Wait: don't tell me. You hit "all the fairways" nearly all the greens, but your short game -- which you declared deadly and then said you never bothered with before saying you work on it hours each day -- let you down, right?

    LOL

    You are definitely making some memorable contributions here. Why would you hesitate to report him?

    This thread is now a classic.

    I don't even think LarryAB plays golf.
    And LAB, the CC I belong to would ban you from future competition if you pulled any of that 'cap manipulation bullsh!t you're trying to rationalize on here. You'd also be ridiculed and outcast as a lying cheat and would never find a game at the club. Which may be why you spend so many pretend hours practicing at the range.

    Same result at my club. There was one guy and he was universally despised. Ultimately sold him membership.

    You know, any of us can call this one in. Larry owes his handicap committee the explanations he's giving us. Isn't it part of the golfer's code of honor to report cheating?

    The only handicap that matters after a tournament is that of the winner. NOBODY cares about the handicap indexes of the losers. Notice that they don't do drug tests of any horse but the winner. Wise up.

    And you've just admitted to posting scores worse than your actual ability in order to raise your handicap and improve your chances of winning...

    I need to adjust my handicap index to my current ability.

    If I win anything due to handicap index, I would refuse the money, drinks, or whatever.

    My friends and I play even-- regardless of handicap index. Just keep it simple. I usually buy the beer because my golfing friends are mostly scratch-- and as was true in tennis, I find that playing UP is better for our game than playing DOWN- I enjoy the challenge. And regardless of birthdays, I am gaining on those guys.

    You don't need to adjust your handicap to anything, that's what posting normal scores is for. If you've been averaging 80-85 and then all of a sudden you start posting 90-95 scores because you're in a suckfest, the handicap will naturally adjust. You don't need to help it by purposely skanking it around in order to raise your handicap. That's cheating no matter how you look at it.

    You don't have that option. Play your best golf and let the chips fall where they may.

    Or is it that you are, in fact, now playing your best golf and just need to make up all this ******** to avoid admitting your earlier scores were completely bogus?

    You just can't stop with the lies, can you?

    "We play Morgan Run, 2 miles from my home. Handicaps of course."

    You remember that quote, don't you? Let me help:

    From which tees, Larry?

    If you can shoot 80 there, I can break 100. 100% guaranteed.

    "I need to adjust my handicap index to my current ability.

    Ok, ok, ok...I must be missing something. So you need to raise your handicap to your current ability so if you ever win a net tournament you can refuse the winnings? Either I'm a complete moron or that is the most backwards logic I've ever seen in writing. Let me see...you play your buddies straight up (no need for a hdcp). And in a tournament where you will use your hdcp you'll refuse winnings if you win. I always thought I was smart but this is obviously logic above and beyond my reasoning. I don't quite follow why you need to raise your hdcp if you will refuse any tournament you win with a handicap. You've basically just written, "I have a handicap I don't use but I need to raise it so it's accurate." Why? It's not a legit handicap any more (if it ever was) because you're lying, and if you're not going to use it to collect winnings why not just save the $25/year and use it towards more range balls?

    Larry, when you try and convince us you only cheat and lie when you have to, the only fallback position you have is you always cheat and lie. You need to plan these things better.

    A better would excuse would have been "my dog ate it". That would at least shift focus to the possibility that you're insane, and I think most people would rather be viewed as insane than a dirtbag. Maybe we need a poll on this.

    Not easy to stop digging when you play graphite shafted shovels I suppose!

    It doesn't really matter whether he stops digging now. It's too late. This thread has buried any last shred of credibility he might have still had.

    Wouldn't dream of it Edgey!

    You've never dug a hole for yourself now though have you?

    I remember when you first came on GR claiming a bag full of hybrids. Your irons supposedly started at a 7 iron (just to get a bit of flaming going with your old buddy Omen I guess ).

    A couple of weeks later you had Titleist blades in your bag. I called you out on this and you did the honourable thing and immediately came clean rather than digging yourself a deeper hole like ol Larry is currently doing.
