About watching Repeater Swings |
- Don’t look for a “position”, look at in a general Sybervision ** way. Look for similarities and/or differences of areas that may be of interest to you like:
swing shapes, set-up/address looks, impact areas, swing motions, swing finishes ,etc.
As an example, if your Pro/PGA instructor talks about how your arms should swing, look at how a certain player does it and how another may do it. Keep in mind, the Tour Pros have wonderful hand-eye-coordination and thus they are expert Manipulators of Impact. Your general visualization is more important than some magic position.
- Different camera angles can make certain positions “appear” a certain way, but are not what you might think you see because of the different angles the video could have been shot at.
Video is a great learning tool, but only within the context of learning a "feel" that is individual, which is to say …yours.
- Also we usually don’t know what kind of shot the players were trying to hit, which can affect its “look”. If the shot the player was trying to produce had a left- to- right shape, or right- to- left shape, that factor could easily affect the player’s different set-ups, hand/arm swing shapes.
Some swings are taken on a driving range while others are on a golf course during play. Advanced players have learned to always try to hit shots to targets, with some sort of shape to the ball’s flight. That requires “feel” adjustments, which could easily change a look of a swing at that time.
The Loading Period:
- The swings “Loading” may take a few seconds to load.
- Give the page a full load time. Some swings may appear earlier than others, let them load completely. You will find the next time you view this page, whether going back and forth today or the next day, month, etc. the swings will appear and load MUCH quicker.
** SyberVision or CyberVision has been referred to as Muscle Memory Programming, or as often referred to as“Repititous Sensory Stimulation”. Some say SyberVision could be used as a “dramatic improvement in the quality and consistency of a player”.
Basically, a theory based on viewing enough times, you may feel "your" swing's motions/positions better. You have to SEE before you can DO.

Notice how his(right)shoulder "seems" to just "follow" the ball in flight. Legs are giving him a solid foundation for that arm swing.

McElroy had teased the media for two days by saying he had two keywords he kept repeating to steady himself. "It was 'process' and 'spot' he said. "That was it."
He said the word "process" kept him grounded into making good decisions and comfortable swings. It kept him from thinking about the results, just the process of getting them. And "spot" was merely a putting focus.
"I'd find a spot and I just wanted to rolled the ball over it, If it went in great. If it didn't, then I'd try it the next hole."

In 2010, Rory turned to trainer Steve McGregor, Ph.D., who saw in McIlroy "a huge talent, but with relatively little training history other than golfing."
McGregor’s first step was to balance the discrepancies between McIlroy’s strong right side and relatively weak left side. Workouts included lots of single-arm and single-leg work, including dumbbell presses and split squats. Much focus was put on the lower body—the true source of power.
“The lower-body work stabilized all the power that I had generated on the way down, I could generate the power, but I needed the stability to hold onto it.”
“I felt a lot more stable in my golf swing,” said Rory “There’s a lot less moving parts."
That newfound strength allowed McIlroy to swing powerfully yet stay balanced, with a finish that evokes the classic swings of Snead and Hogan. The result is a 5-foot-10, 160-pound 25-year-old who can slam the ball more than 300 yards with something resembling ease.
And McIlroy wasn’t interested in extra length—he’s been topping 300 yards for years. It’s just that now he can do it without coming out of his shoes.
Combined with healthy eating—lots of chicken and broccoli—Rory dropped his body fat from 22 percent to 16 percent.
