Brian Gay v/s Me

[BurleyGolf]

Here is the deal, I have been trying to get TGM correct for me as a learning tool. I choose to model after Brian Gay and when I swing the club I feel as if I am doing everything he does. I had a tournament this weekend and choose to play with my old swing, but I had been working on the TGM model so much my old swing was rusty, so I switched to TGM after about 11 holes. Now here is my questions;

When the ball goes where I want it to go, I am usaly air mailing the green. I have not lost any distance with the driver, but gained in the irons?

My bad shots are mostly off the tee box, a slight pull, or a long hook?

The irons are usaly just a little left of target and I feel most off shots with the irons have to do with my set up?

I am doing every thing like Brian Gay except I have choose not to bend my irons to get the arms in line with the shaft at address. Right now my irons are flat of standard a few degrees?

When I practiced before the round today I tryied to memic Brian Gay on the video, as my swing. Here is what I am trying to do if I broke it down.

1.) Aim club at target, while half stepped into the setup.

2.)Forward press the butt of the shaft with right hand and take full stance. then putt left hand on.

3.) Right elbow slightly crimped and weight setup on left side.

4.) grip pressure is 70 in right 30 in left.

5.) Right hand takes the hands and club to top until hips want to turn from no more flexability.

6.) Down swing I try to bring the right hand back to the aiming point and feel as if I am pushing my butt back which is just both of the legs straiting. this helps me keep the right hip back as long as possible.

7.) After hands reach aiming point and ball is compressed the hands release the right shoulder so to continue left and up the plane.

I feel like I am excerting all my energy and not fluid. I am trying to hit the golf ball too hard and power it to were I want it to go. I also have no idea if it is going to fade or draw, I just hope it does what I want it too.

I have one more round left Sunday, so a response tonight would be nice, if anyone wants to chime in....? I will check back in 30mins or so its Saturday May 2nd, 2009 @ 7:43pm Texas time

Thanks,
