🤣 ASKING CHAT GPT TO ANALYSE MY SWING 🤣

I’ve gone through the swing frame-by-frame. Based on this swing alone, I’d estimate the player is around a 7–12 handicap, with roughly a 9 handicap being my best single estimate. Obviously, handicap can’t be accurately determined from swing mechanics alone—short game, putting, course management and strike quality matter enormously.

Overall assessment

This is a competent, athletic golf swing with several things that I would not want to change unnecessarily.

The player has:

* A good starting posture
* Reasonable balance throughout
* Good rotation through the ball
* Strong lower-body involvement
* A good finish position
* Good weight transfer onto the lead side
* No major obvious casting/release problem
* A repeatable-looking overall motion

The biggest opportunity is not rebuilding the swing. It’s making the existing movement more efficient and predictable.

Decided to grind my TM (SB Grind) 60* to match closer to my Vokey K* that I’ve been using.

Feel like I’ve got it pretty close. 🙏🏼

Between lessons messing around with some shot shaping. I think I like the L-R

I keep a simple “feeling”

Try to keep the clubhead outside the hands in the takeaway with an open face and maintain that feeling into the downswing.

Tell me how YOU hit your fade! What’s your swing thought/feel?

Do you struggle with getting too steep in the downswing?

Hit big slices or block cuts?

Been there and suffered through it myself.

This one swing "feel" changed everything for me.

You see, steep is a relative notion and is dependant on what your backswing is doing.
If you have a flat rounded backswing with little wrist hinge then the downswing is far more likely to be steep by comparison.

So what I did was place an alignement stick behind me sticking up out of the ground, positioned far enpigh back that I couldn't hit it with a club, but inline wth my right side hip. This gave me a good visual.

I would make 3x Dummy swings, where I would swing the club to hip high and then instantly bend my wrist so the shaft was matching the angle of the alignment stick.

This was me trying to force myself into an uncomfortable position so that in the swing, the movement would be less extreme and feel more natural.

Over time the shots improved, my backswing looked stronger and I was begining to become less steep.

The best lesson I ever learned happened without me even knowing it.

A training habit of 3 UK Golfer: Steve, Gary and Martin. They did this every time I saw them on the range.

The worked tirelessly on clubface control, 3 vastly different styles of swing but end result was approach shots hit stone dead more times than I can possibly remember.

🧀 Control the clubface and control the ball.

20 years ago I was a young golfer wasting hours on a range with no sense of purpose.

No roadmap and no baseline.

I made a decision that day that I needed a starting point.

I chose to focus on having a solid set of foundations.
Alignment
Stance Width
Ball Position

Having these elements of the setup repeatable made all the difference.

🧀 It’s easy to be consistent when you do consistent things!

As a junior golfer, I would find myself training not so much practising.

🧀 There is a distinctive difference between the two, back then I was less concerned with grouping all my shots on the range within a certain distance.

I didn’t care if my range session looked pretty, was easy to pick up the balls.

I’d get lost in having fun whilst still learning and growing.

I’d find myself spending more time trying to hit shot shapes high, low, draws, fades!

Being able to move the ball both ways with as many clubs in my bag as I could.

Now that didn’t mean that my training sessions were the prettiest to watch, but they were so much more effective than those sessions I’ve carried out over the last few years particularly.

Lucas Bird finishing the weekend with a win. No 3 putts today so that was a bonus.

Punched a ticket to Greg Norman at the end of the year. Now time to gear up and prep for Gary Player.
