Title: A few shots of me
Post by: T Brockette on September 03, 2012, 05:25:01 PM
Here are a few shots with my new Motiv Raptor Attack. Please excuse the wife griping and have a laugh at the baby clapping for Daddy!

Before anyone complains that they are all strikes, I shot 268 while we were recording...... ;D

Let me know what you think.

looks pretty solid.  did notice a slight looping motion in the backswing/downswing.  A little more knee bend at the finish would give you better balance/leverage.

Been fighting that backswing forever, and just can't get rid of the swinging out motion....thanks for the advice!

As long as you don't have any targeting issues I wouldn't worry about it tho.  I have a small hop after my release (due to lack of knee bend) that I have been fighting to get rid of for years.  It doesn't effect my release or targeting, so I said screw it!  So I get called sir hopsalot and hop and drop! lol!  Makes me unique.

I agree with 900DJ.  As long as your loop is consistent and doesn't cause and target problems, don't worry about it.  I agreee with the knee bend as well.  A slightly slower or more deliberate approach may help.  If this doesn't fix the hop at the end, you might try a little less spine tilt, although your's is not too bad.

Doesnt big wes mallot loop? Thats proof that you just need to be good at your own game.   To me the loopings fine....i would just get smoother if anything...with the feet that is.

Tracy, you're still a big killer, buddy.

I would like to see you bring your shoulders back just a little. Looks like they're too far over the knee, causing some loss of leverage. Too much tilt is a bad thing, brutha!

But otherwise...

YAY DADDY!

arm seems very stiff. i would work on making everything looser and more fluid. and like everyone said, more knew bend would help a lot with balance and leverage. one major thing i noticed was your timing is a little late. a lot of people think late timing gives you more power and leverage but you can get just as much with more matched timing. i would see you you could start the ball on 1, ball at knee on 2, 3-4 is your backswing and the ball should be coming through the zone as you slide. also if you want to correct the looping swing joe slowinski wrote an article on his site about "walking the plank. essentially you drop your shoulder so the ball path and head is in line and step 2 is in front of step 1 to get your hips out of the way and have a clear ball path. this also helps open up your angles
