It's 50F and cloudy here so I went out and play 18 holes at a VERY nice course here... have not played for 2 months so I know it's a torture with a new 3/4 swing.... Shitttt, not working well with driver and woods, OK for short irons (7i-LW)... ball tends to slice with driver and 3-w (indication that I did not rotate my body enough) and hit more fat shots .... Oh well. not comfortable with 3/4 swing yet... back to the drawing board... Saw only 3 more players out there, got it done in just over 3 hrs, so that's a plus
Why in the world would you take a 3/4 swing with your driver?
Because your misses are only 3/4 as bad as before. I was reading Harbey Pennick's Little Red Book yesterday evening and decided to try one of his tips. He was talking about how "casting" is the most common swing error and that one way to partially combat the problem is to keep your left knee bent through the downswing. I tried this and it forced me to come from the inside instead of OTT. It also put less tension on my left hip that has been bothering me. Oh, and one more thing, take dead aim.

maybe you should just grow a pair and get some game... you clearly have no understanding of the golf swing, or what should occur in order to make a good stroke... learn some stuff before you post this stuff....
In some cases, larry is right... Maybe take lessons from a REPUTABLE local PGA pro and learn how to swing a club the right way. Inventing new swings won't help your game. Some of you are too far gone and have engrained turd swings into your mind, please learn how the components and the components you need before you invent retarded theories. Seriously.
I've used a 3/4 swing in various situations for awhile, but lately I've been messing around with a 33/47 swing that seems to work a little better for me.

You may need to fill us in on who that Pro actually is at the moment. Larry seems to go through 'reputable' pros who know the 'secret' to the golf swing at a pretty fair clip, it's a bit hard to keep up.

So your hitting at 70% versus 75%? Glad that works!

Interesting...I was reading his book yesterday, picked it up in the library last week. Havent read it in quite some time.
I find the "weed cutting" section interesting. I am trying to envision what a week cutter is to be honest, as I presume Mr. Penick isnt talking about a 17" gas powered Ryobi weed eater that I use.
I have a vast collection of old swing training videos, you name it ..igot it. Leadbetter, Wally Armstrong, Harvey Penick, this guy ,that guy...some from tour players like Nicklaus etc...I even have one from Trevino (my buddy was his pilot for years) There are so many different swings in there that you have to know YOUR swing in order not to confuse yourself. That is why I never take a lesson from anyone (sorry pingman) I like him because he is a conservative though. I do not know why they do not market training media anymore I guess its a pro marketing thing now. It may be that it costs pros $$$ "if you try this at home".
The reason the 3/4 swing does not work for some people is that they do not start as a one piece take away and thus do not turn. They swing their arms instead. These are the people that swing their arms first and turn their body later towards the top. In a 3/4 swing these people never get to the "turn the body point" and thus have just made a ARM ONLY swing over the top.
When my shwing gets off, I practice "connected" (one piece take-away) 1/2 and 3/4 swings until I get it back in just a few swings. One other thing that helps me is to go on you tube and watch that short Hogan clip with that key move bit.

What is a weed cutter?
A weed cutter looks similar to a scythe (one of the oldest tools of farming and a weapon used in ancient combat). I have attached a photo demonstrating the use of a weedcutter and how it can improve your swing. No need for a tour pro when you've got a weed cutter. I wouldn't suggest teaching a child to swing with a weed cutter.

Golf is not my life and I don't plan to earn my incomes via golf... so, I don't take golf seriously , everything GRs talked here is just for fun and BS, just trash internet golf talk... I don't take lessons, never did never will, the fun part for me is to analyse my own game and have fun with it, I will never shoot 70s again, I will be happy with 85+/- , 3/4 swing or not
No worries. I now know what a weed cutter is, thanks!
Yes I guess I do get to trivialize and/or dismiss pretty much anything I want. Ha. Never realized that...but thanks! (Im watching you son - behave)
You do realize Im kidding.
You don't kid about things like the 33/47 swing.
And you need to stop going to the library. Libraries effectively piss all over copyright laws. Going to the library makes you part of a long-term giant consipiracy to steal from those who've put forth creative effort in producing something valuable enough for you and others to want to read. The only exception is if you're in grade school.
Now that you represent authority on GR, you can expect this kind of thing. I don't blame you for wanting to be anonymous.
I've used a 3/4 swing in various situations for awhile, but lately I've been messing around with a 33/47 swing that seems to work a little better for me.
Your problem is the 33 is not a prime number (11*3). If you performed a 31/47 swing you'd have a better chance. That's why I perform a d 3/5 swing and not a 3/4 swing. (who said A.D.D. never helped anyone?)

If you can make it through the circuitous labyrinth imposed by ADD to where you can function productively, then you've also built capabilities and mental pathways that give you perception and skills superior to those who aren't similarly "handicapped." So it definitely helps alot of people.
I figured if the fraction can't be reduced, I'd be ok. But it has bothered me 33 isn't prime. Now it's really bothering me. Thanks.

I don't take lessons either and I normally shoot somewhere around 76 to 82. You don't need to continue to take lessons. You need to take lessons from a good pro and then go practice what they have taught you. Eventually, you will know how to correct your own swing...just like Tiger. The other day I played and was hitting lasers at the hole most of the day. On #3 I hit it 6 inches from the hole. One of my playing parters said "that almost went in!". I replied "that was tighter than an Englishman's cricket shoes".

One thing you probably know by now is that I'm not one to gloat or to brag about myself. Sooner and NAH do that but I don't. Sure, I beat Dave on the 13th hole and sure I drove the middle of the fairway everytime. Toward the end of the round I was striping it at the hole and looked like a pro. Again, I would never brag about such things.
A full swing. Watch McDowell or Stricker hit the driver, they are making just as full of a turn as everyone else, they just don't let their hands go past the top like Daly and Bubba do. I think of a 3/4 swing as the left arm just going a little past past parallel to the ground in order to intentionally take distance off, for example a 70 yard pitch or low punch shot. When McDowell hits driver, he ain't just trying to bunt one out there 190 yards, it's a full swing.

I gave him 4 strokes a side. At least the homeless guy played with some real clubs instead of something he found in the bargain barrel at Kmart. Come on, when are you going to man up and play in a GR tourney?

If you are ever in Sydney Australia I'd be more than happy to school you and your hacker chop sticks. My local course is undergoing some renovations so if you bring your clubs the greens keepers could borrow them for excavation (digging holes).

Renovations? Are they trying to add a few yards to that 4,800 yard course you play with those Ping clones? I actually saw a House Hunters International episode of a couple buying a place in Sydney. Pretty incredible looking place. Expensive too. Well, if I'm every in Sydney (which I doubt I ever will be) I'll take you up on that bet.

Over the years, I've gathered an almost endless supply of golf lessons from the top teaching pros and lots of tour players. My wife gave me a subscription to Golf Magazine for Christmas a decade ago and I've managed to save a lot of them through several moves and threats to toss them by the original gift giver who, none the less, renews the subscription annually automatically. At any one time, there are maybe 10-20 of them in my personal lavatory in the basement. During every satisfying dump, I will peruse past issues and invariably find lessons and tips that pertain to my then current golfing dilemma. Take the 3/4 swing concept, for example. In the July 2008 issue, a teaching pro from some club somewhere gives to perfect drill for a player to figure out his maximum backswing which varies depending on your build, fitness, flexibility, age etc. So I finished up, wiped off, belted up and went outside with club in hand and figured out that I was taking the freaking club way too far back--loosing my angle and bending my left arm just to try to get into what I thought was a powerful position. So I followed the drill and the result was that I could rotate my shoulders back 90* but my left arm was only 20 or so degrees above parallel with the ground but my wrists were locked real good with the club at 90* from my straight left arm. So I was good to go. Later I figured out that it is a lot easier to make that swing with clubs that have lighter weight and more flexible shafts. Plus the old magazines have reviews of new clubs that are now old and readily available real cheap on the used market.

Sheite... I dump my best reading and swing lessons in that way. I find it quite rewarding when I eat some rasin bran the day before. I only have a few old golf magazines but it is nice to read the adds for all the "new " equipment that I have in abundance it helps and requires very little imagination.

I thought raisins were constipating. Costco has a really good rasin bran cereal and it's like $4.99 for this huge box. That's a lot of loads dumped for $4.99...and a lot of golf digests read.

I've dumped the Ping knockoffs FD. They were a bit too close ot the real ting for my liking, I'l stick with the Powerbilts.
Sydney house prices are utterly ridiculous. There are plenty of stupid 10 million plus houses that are out of everybody's reach, but everything is expensive. I live in a unit/villa in western Sydney (a nice part of western Sydney but still nothing to brag about), but even that would set you back 320,000 plus these days. A house in anything that even resembled a decent suburb would be 550,00 basement entry, but probably 600,000 plus. Not sure what that would buy in San Diego, but I'm thinking something better than this over priced place, and most of San Diego would be the equivalent of the 1.5 million plus Sydney suburbs.

I wouldn't suggest teaching a child to swing with a weed cutter.
The only things a scythe and a weed cutter have in common is the handles and the blades. A scythe has a longer curved handle and a long curved blade that resembles a scimitar. Modern scythes (made after the 17th century) typically have two wooden handles attached about halfway up from the blade for hand-holds. My father tasked me with clearing light brush and 4 foot tall native grasses in the areas around the pond when I was about 8 years old. When the blade is razor sharp, the scythe is a very efficient mowing tool but its use requires a sweeping swing with a slight upwards angle of attack at the bottom of the stroke. Similar to using a belly putter and a lob wedge at the same time.
maybe you should just grow a pair and get some game... you clearly have no understanding of the golf swing, or what should occur in order to make a good stroke... learn some stuff before you post this stuff....
PM bringing the hardball!! I like it!
In Pky's defense though, PM, he got confused in his basic swing plane knowledge on whether he needed to load the 2nd accumulator before the 3rd or whether his sphincter needed to be open or closed during the downswing in order to unload the full force of his energy. It's hard to keep up with all the intricacies of the golf swing that seems to come so natural to you teacher types.

I think I envy Pkwy for his simple, carefree grip on life. I get the feeling he just doesn't stress over anything and sleeps like a baby.
Only thing that I care for is my family... other than that nothing is important... Don't sweat a little thing , life would be much simpler... If it's beyond my control then who gives a fuuuuccckkk , right?

Trust me, I fully understand ... It took me awhile to apply that concept, most of us worry about things that we can't control (death, illness, losing jobs, ... golf... hahahaha), some worries about what he/she CAN control (eat too much and worry about gaining wt, spend money that we don't have and worry about debt etc....)... Stress kills, it's proven...
No handwashing? After a dump? Holding a club in your sh!t hands?
Washing hands after a dump, yes. Washing hands after a piss, no...unless I'm at a public restroom and only if I touch a handle or door knob...my shaft is clean.

When I went to grad school our class went on this 3-day trip to Santa Barbara to get to know each other and bond. We roomed with one other person. One of the guys I became friends with told me that the guy he roomed with didn't flush the toilet after taking a dump. When he asked the guy about it he said that it was to conserve water. Needless to say the guy was wierd and didn't have any friends in the program.
My question is this: How do you get to a point where you wouldn't flush the toilet when rooming with someone you just met? Do you just assume they won't mind if you leave a giant sh.it in the toilet? Do you expect them to just take another sh.it on top of the one that you left there? How do people like this exist?
Really? I understood what he was talking about. I think you have to take it into context with some of his other posts. Sounds you me like PK is trying to change swing style from a 2 plane to the 1 plane with the swing staying a bit flatter and not letting his hands travel above the shoulder line. To do this you need to feel like you are taking the club back 3/4 of the way and fully load the body with a good full shoulder turn. When I made the conversion my instructor said to make a 3/4 back swing with my arms but the turn, pivot, etc are the same.

Some people take a lot of pride in the their bowel movements. One morning in my fraternity house, we found the largest log of poo any of us had ever seen just laying in the middle of one of the doorways...It had to be two foot long and the diameter was so thick it couldn't have passed through the center of a roll of duck tape. That log was a genuine trophy specimen and the owner knew it. Reconstructing the scene, he obviously had to hold onto the door jambs to support himself through what must have been a painful process. Later, the pledge that had to scoop it up with a shovel remarked on its considerable "heft."

Wow! I have to admit that I really like the way the guy swings as well as his movement into the ball. He really uses his legs to creat torque and resistence. Top notch.

Have I just been insulted? If that is your intent you need to be more direct.
That guy's swing looks a lot like Moe Norman's swing! More of the Same!
I sent that clip to my teaching pro and then discussed it with him today during my lesson. We agreed that even though he exaggerates the weight shift with the raised foot, his fundamentals are perfect. He makes a good backswing and gets himself in a perfect top position--and then he makes an aggressive hips first downswing. Notice his club is right on plane, the shaft is aligned with his right forearm during the downswing. he hits it to the end of the range and beyond.
So that swing is verification that solid fundamentals work!

One must use caution when evaluating a swing demonstrated at a practice facility. A swing in practice doth not equate to a swing in play.

That guy is my age. I am as athletic as he is. I can very likely serve a tennis ball faster than he can! I would bet I can kill a handball off the back wall lower and faster than he can! So why can't I learn to hit a golf ball as far and straight as he can? Answer, no reason! All I need to do is get myself in the correct positions at the correct time. So I take lessons and do drills to ingrain the correct swing movements.
I will persist because that is the way I am, and I have the time and money to see it through.

You misunderstood. You could make his moves. You could also swing like moe Norman. I was refering to other videos you've posted of young pro's with comments and advice about the swing.

His drills consist of bouncing golf balls on sledgehammers. He seems like a real wing-nut. Do us a favor. Post video of your drills and a slo-mo vid of you practicing that retarded looking swing. Please.

One must use caution when evaluating a swing demonstrated at a practice facility. A swing in practice doth not equate to a swing in play.
I certainly don't recall seeing that guy on TV playing the Tour, hitting his 300 yard drives in the fairway. If he could play he would be on tour, not trying to impress non golfers at a driving range. That letting go of the right hand is just a gimmick too.
Larry, you are nowhere near the athlete that this guy is. He would out hit you in any sport, just on natural talent. You may be as old as him, but that's where the physical similarities start and end. This guy is an athlete, you are a feeble old man.

Yes, but Larry could beat him in Handball. LOL. Who the hell plays handball anymore?

We used to play handball at the lunch break at primary school, is that hwat Larry is talking about? I can picture Larry getting off by dominating 9 year olds on the handball courts.
In all seriousness I think Larry's handball credentials are probably about as real as his engineering credentials. I'm sure if Larry really did play handball he would be too busy bombarding handball forums with slow motion videos to spend time here.

We're treading on dangerous ground here. If memory serves Spank used to play handball. I played handball in 6th grade during break as well. Shoot, I was the handball master!

But Spank wasn't full of BS. I doubt Larry has the faintest idea of how to play real handball, if his golf is anything to go on.

I think Horshack from "Welcome Back Kotter" still does.
Last time I saw Horshack he was flat out on the Canvas during a celebrity boxing match with Screech from "Saved by the Bell". Screech was a pretty big guy and could handle himself well, Horshack was a middle aged scrawny nerd with no skills and less punching power. It was a disgraceful mismatch really, Screech was 50 pounds heavier and about 20 years younger, and had much more skill than Horshack, who had none and wouldn't bruise a grape. It was a worse beating than Greg Brady got off Danny Boniducci.

Start it fully clothed but, gradually, by the third round they should both be naked. Not by stripping but as a natural result of hair pulling and clothes ripping. Of course by the third, Paris Hilton will be kind of bloody but she'll still be fixing make-up between rounds.

I think Hilton would be a great lay (assuming you don't care about things like crabs, the clap, etc.), but she doesn't have a great body.

The only problem with that is if somebody goes down in the 1st round (fully clothed) it would be terribly disappointing.

She's great at packaging herself, working it and she's alot better looking in person. Saw her at a Laker game and there were a bunch of guys sharing her box. And different guys kept going in and out.

If I was at a Laker game, I'd probably go into her box too, but I sure as hell wouldn't eat there.

It'd be worse than the floor of the last stall in the men's room at the Reproductive Health Clinic in Buffalo, NY.
Let me try this again, but this time I'll drop the innuendos.
I would have sex with Paris Hilton, but I would not eat her out. See Zo, here in the States, the word box also means "pusssy."

They're normal sized women. What could happen? Keep a fully equipped nail salon attendant in each corner in case tragedy strikes.
What could happen?
They could both still be fully clothed at the conclusion of the match that's what. At least if they start topless we are guaranteed some nudity regardless of the outcome.

Real handball was played on the concrete playgrounds in big city neighborhoods like the Bronx or Hell's Kitchen. No gloves were worn. The winner kept the court until he lost. I was schooled in handball at college in New York state decades ago by a native. Real men don't take up raquets-- except for squash raquets.

I grew up at the 5 points. I was part of the Dead Rabbits gang and fought against Bill the Butcher. I beat him at handball 5 times in a row and then stole his girl. You don't joke about handball from where I come from.

But I have a computer and an internet connection. Hell, I have an iphone and an unlimited data account, I can see nudity anytime, just about anywhere. I haven't seen nude boxing but I'm sure there's a site if your into that kind of stuff. Not exactly what I check out when I go looking but I'm sure it's there.
To expand your idea Zo, if the winner could strap one on and and have a go with the loser, then you'd have something. (Would that help with the conclusion Kiwi?) But that's already been done.... Basically I don't think you can actually imagine any legal sexually fantasy that isn't on the internet somewhere....

Good idea. Loser suffers a penalty is one of my favorite sex games. It has to be something she doesn't like to do or she'll try to lose. Sometimes that disqualifies the back door, but there are other things.

I played handball in the old Rowing Club, the Downtown Y, and Mel Goram's in PB. I was pals with Paul Haber, 5 times National Champ.

What about a midget in a clown suit banging a donkey? I've been searching dilligently for awhile and haven't found it.

I remember seeing that and totally agree. A stroppy little old man against a big young guy.
Ridiculous!!!
Every celebrity boxing match I've seen has been horribly mismatched. Greg Brady took an awful beating from Danny Bonaduce and had nothign to offer in return, nd the Tonya Harding/Paula Jones was nothing more tha a beating of a defenceless victim, and the ref just stood there and let it happen long after he should have stepped in a stopped it. It almost reminded me of Ausralian boxing promotions it was so one sided. The exception of course wsa Todd Bridges (Willis from Different Strokes) against Rob Van Winkle (Vanilla Ice). Todd gave him a good whooping but I would have loved to see him lay even mores mack on that white bread's arse.

Can anyone actually envision that as something Larry would be good at?
No? Me either.

I thought the handball that Larry is always bragging about is like the UK/Australian/NZ sport known as squash except instead of playing it with a racket you play it with a handball glove:
That other game looks pretty cool though. Love the soundtrack. Prodigy - Breath - great song. Basically The Sex Pistols with sampling. Gotta love that!
