Make it mandatory to put your honest handicap, i dont know how good the people are that analyze me. Its annoying that 18 handicaps give their input on my swing when they cant swing a club themselves.

Its annoying that 18 handicaps give their input on my swing when they cant swing a club themselves. Take advice as you see fit, and leave what you don't. Sometimes high handicaps can give very good advice. Some 18 handicappers may have a better swing than Hogan, but couldn't putt the ball from 3". Handicap is not a good reflection of swing quality, I've seen beautiful swings that can't play worth a damn, and ugly terrible swings that are near scratch. I see my swing on camera every day, I know what I do and don't do, but most people don't. I've seen people give great advice, for example, to take the club back steep, and bring it down flat, but then "demonstrate" it by doing the exact opposite. Doing something and knowing something are two totally different things.

I agree with samuelwaldo. It's like the people I play with. If you cannot beat me or at least compete with me, don't even try to talk to me about my swing. It's insulting. This reminds me of those TV commercials where the guy spent the night at the Holiday Inn and thinks the next day he's a f**king brain surgeon.
By the way, I'm a 6.4, but I'm playing to about a 4 these days because my long irons are cooperating.

I understand where Sam's coming from, but what are you expecting out of a free public site like this?

I'll agree with Shanks to an extent. If you have a great short game but a no so great swing, you can play some pretty decent golf on muni tracks. Or vise versa, great ballstriker and no short game.
I'm a 2.4. Was as low as 0.9. When I started tracking it 4 years ago I was a 12.

There are two aspects to golf: Knowledge of the Golf Swing Execution of the Golf Swing These are related but a user may know more about the swing, but not be quite as athletic as you are. As well, If you don't like their analysis you can delete it
