What is a Right Sided Swing??

Subject: Re: What is a Right Sided Swing?? Sun Jan 03, 2010 2:15 pm

been on the left side before. ever since i switched to the right, i have never look back. even though i am not a long hitter, the sound of a solid impact (every time) is simply heavenly... shiok.

Agreed RegiT! More consistency at impact, less spray as well.

Very fascinating! Can't wait to validate my new findings at my next range session Laughing

Hi Paul

From the website which you'd presented,

"Power comes from;
Swingers (catch up) using lag
Hitters (leverage) using right forearm thrust (and right shoulder)."

Is that comment (advice) correct?

Brother Jake, nope I'm not taking lessons from Paul, never had a lesson before ever, thus far 100% self taught.

If I remember correctly you're taking lessons from him every Thursday?

I've kinda got this goal to work towards single hcp before assessing to take a pro. The pro of it is the self analysis is damn exciting to me, the con I guess is by then the "bad habits" would have sunk into my swing making it that much tougher to "correct".

But like Paul said, there are many different ways to swing the club.

Hopefully it holds true Smile

Happy new year JT, and to one and all!

Interesting. Was having some major swing problems over the weekend and just couldn't hit the ball for nuts.

My coach wasn't around, but I had his colleague (Justin Parsons, BHSG Sr Teaching Pro) come by to check it out. While I have been working on becoming a 'swinger', I have ended up having a very strong left handed grip and stood ridiculously far from the ball. He had me stand closer to the ball, and by forcing me to play a completely neutral left hand grip, I ended up using my shoulders and right hand/arm for the takeaway, with the left arm/hand just 'coming along for the ride'.

first couple of shots felt weird, but after that, I noticed my ballstriking was much cleaner, and accuracy was back. I also noticed that on my downswing, aside from keeping my lower body quiet (no wobbly legs) I was powering my right side through with the sensation of the right hand viciously caning the ball. Ballflight was extremely penetrating, without the post-practice pain I usually get after a round of practice.

I'm bringing this up because I can identify with the statements you posted above, and I pretty much concur with them.

I would say that is a good summary. I dont know much about TGM terminology (hitters/swingers) but RSS definitely leverage, LSS is catch up

Asian Tour Q-School is underway in Thailand and the Right Siders are off to a good start.
Leading the way in T17th is local boy Quincy Quek who shot 71, 68
Also in T17th is Kunal Bhasin with 68,71
And Jason King in T42nd with 68, 73

The top 40 finishers gain a card for the 2010 season. Quincy already has a card for 2010 however he is trying to improve on his current status which will gain him entry into some of the bigger events. Good luck QQ

RSS'er Peter Senior keeps getting better and better with age. At 50 years old he today qualified to play in the British Open 2010. The international qualifying event in Australia has 3 spots available and after 36 holes Peter qualified in the 3rd spot on 5 under Par. Great effort.
It will be Peters 18th appearance in the Open Championship
