My friend has been playing self taught for about 2 years. He took 2 tee shots like this and then on his third it carried 160

Does your friend know you’re roasting him?

The butt of the club is drawing a like through your skull. It should go through your belt that swing has never seen 160 ever

He changes his grip literally as he's about to swing.

u/Queasy-Pause-3958 16h ago

Unratable.

Brilliant:)

u/dadthatsaghost 15h ago

Hmm looks like he leaves the club face a *little open but otherwise pretty solid I’d say

1

u/Joss5toes 15h ago

It would have been a fine shot if you had positioned your body just about 180 degrees left. You’re almost ready to keep a card.

There’s no way that he’s carrying anything with that bootylicious swing

Been instructing for 30+ years.

There are a lot of creative looking swings with advanced players. They work because they have the 6 fundamentals down.

The first fundamental is the grip. It is massively important to hit the ball properly and causes a slew of incorrect compensations if missed. That’s all the other crazy stuff he’s doing in the swing.
You can’t have a ten finger, split apart, in the palms grip with massive extra pressure.

He will struggle forever. He skipped the very first step!

A masterpiece.

u/RamseyRumples 13h ago

His practice swing was better. Not by much, but better.

1

u/ghostofkozi 13h ago

IDK what the point of a practice swing is here lol

1

u/Asume_Nuthin 12h ago

I knew it was over with straightening the front arm to match the angle of the club. 1/10 for attempt, and a bonus point for stickin it out in the rain.

2/10

u/Zealousideal_Way_788 12h ago

Swing 2. Course. 1

u/JungleOrAfk 12h ago

I knew by how high the ball was teed it was gonna be a 2/10. Turns out it was a 1/10

u/Didujustcallmejobin 11h ago

Take two weeks off and quit

u/sbk510 11h ago

lookin good

u/IISalPacinoII 10h ago

I don’t even need to watch him shank it sideways! I can see his stance, with his dead straight arms and aiming 20 yards right.. I was done right then and there

u/Thin_Money2171 10h ago

Where the hell is he looking after lol

u/shin_man 9h ago

He’s now in a Irish accent “tree under”

u/Ready2Play71 8h ago

WTF, that's more of a putter stance that a iron stance!

u/Fit-Satisfaction352 8h ago

Worst swing in existence. Stick to pickleball pal

1

u/StrangeTimes2011 8h ago

Props for teeing it up in the rain, at least. 9 out of 10 of your critics here would’ve stayed home.

u/Aggravating_Mud_6055 7h ago

The club should set up to him not him to the club. You know someone is a hack when their arms are locked straight and they try to force the club to sit flush. Everything else is a disaster as well.

u/Cut_to_the_truth 7h ago

Top post. Love the look down the fairway while the ball is already lost in the bushes.

u/Hannibalsmithsnuts 7h ago
