Hey Mike, great swing and thank you for sharing. QQ: what launch monitor are you using? Also, I came across your old video about Easiest Swing. Are you still a true believer in that technique?
First, thank you for lying. I know it is an ugly, incorrect swing, but I appreciate your kindness! :) I am using the Skytrak monitor...it costs about $2K, though that should be going down soon as a newer model is coming out this year. The game software is The Golf Club 2019. To use it with Skytrak it costs $100 per year for their Game Improvement package, plus what you pay for the software (annual license vs. lifetime purchase). I went with the $900 lifetime purchase as the annual fees were crazy high. Plus you need a good laptop to process all this stuff. By the way, you don't NEED the software, Skytrak comes with a driving range and various skill programs, you don't even need the $100 package. The basic driving range and analytical stuff is built into the purchase price only. The software simply lets you play "actual" golf on courses. Yes, I'm still a true believer. In fact, I'm a member of their online community called the Easiest Swing Club. Monthly fee. You can Google that and find it and check it out if you like. Don't misunderstand me, I still work on tweaks in my swing, but I never stray from Brian Sparks's (RIP) original six principles of turning, weight shift, coordination, balance, rhythm, and relaxation (souplesse). Too many people think the Easiest Swing teaches you HOW to swing a club....rather, it is meant to allow you to swing your very own swing. So every Easiest Swing follower should have completely different looking swings. It's been several years now, and I still follow Brian's method to this day.
@@amigopheasantkiller Let be real, we're not PGA tour pro. Yes, it might be ugly but it was effective and effortless. That's what it matters. I recently came across ES, tried its souplesse and already see the immediate result...hit my 5 iron off the tee without any issue. Anyway, I just ordered the book and will definitely join the club later. Thank you again for your response.
Good swinging. On my phone (android) I have an app simply called "angle meter". You can double check your lie angles yourself. I have built a number of sets of clubs for friends and family and I like the app, it is a quick and easy check. I would love to get a loft/lie machine and bend clubs myself and I am always on the look out for a cheap used machine, but not going to pay $2k for one. The reason I say check them yourself is due to the shops normally do not give a crap and think the customer is not going to double check their work. BTW what irons are you hitting? Forged i am sure, because Pings are impossible to bend (Ping uses a mallet and bend them with a quick blow in a special vise) and cast may bend a little but but usually break.
Loved your comments. My fitter actually had me standing right there when he checked these things and was bending clubs. But I agree with you, I once went to a different place to check the lofts on my wedges....they didn't do so hot. My new fitter showed me where my lofts were...I was so mad. Anyways, he has me sorted. He was able to bend my PING G425s. In fact, he did it right there and I saw immediate improvement in my ball striking. I needed new shafts too, so since the cost was going up I decided to move into the Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metals (standard version, not the high launch or pro version). But neither the G425s or the JPXs are forged.....However, the JPXs feel MUCH better than the G425s. While those were good clubs for sure, off center hits made me feel like killing myself. Felt and sounded horrible. LOL I thought about getting a machine myself until I saw how expensive they were!!
@@amigopheasantkiller I have some used Mizuno MP59's (that need lies adjusted lol), I buy all my stuff used usually Ebay or I make it, that way I do not have buyers remorse, lol. I have re-shafted a set of Ping irons, still do not like them. Just starting my Easiest Swing journey with some Mehlhorn and Shave sprinkled in. Just got the book Positive Impact Golf, used off Ebay, and it is signed, do not know if Brian Sparks signed all of his books but it was a nice surprise.
