Hello everyone!
I have a question for anyone that would like to respond. I got a new gadget recently, it's called a Flip Video HD. (Meant to film the kids, but can pull double duty at the golf range!) It has taken some excellent video and I have pulled frames from the videos of my shots. After looking at these frames, some questions have arisen.
I play about a 14-15 handicap, I have stiff flex irons (steel) and x-stiff (graphite)on driver. I have a natural draw (I'm left-handed on everything I do except golf). If I miss a shot, it is a hook.
In the frames from the video it appears the golf shaft is unloading just before impact. Should this be happening? (I have had my golf swing analyzed, I swing in the 105+mph with the driver) The video is not good enough to catch impact on anything I have shot, but shutter speed shows shaft clearly.
It seems like I have read somewhere that I shouldn't be too concerned about what the club shaft is doing right around the ball at impact. Is that true? I have looked at Golf Digest online and their swing sequences of various players. I noticed most of the pictures have a start of downswing, impact and follow-thru (when club is pointing down shot line) shot. Nothing of which where I'm seeing the flex in the shaft in my shots.
I am happy with my directional control. I'm addicted to this game and want to learn more. I'm just wondering if I have a swing flaw, if I have the right shafts or is that what a club normally does? (All the shots I took on the video were directionally accurate.)
Thanks, Buck
