So, today I wanted to mess around with my golf swing, specifically focusing on Angela Lee’s technique. I’ve always admired her smooth, powerful swing, and I figured it’d be a good learning experience to see if I could pick up any tips from her.
First, I watched a bunch of videos of Angela Lee playing. I paid close attention to her setup, her backswing, and her follow-through. She has this relaxed yet controlled way of moving that I really wanted to try and capture.
After I felt like I had a decent grasp of her basic movements, I grabbed my phone and set it up to record my own swing. I tried to mimic her stance, with my feet shoulder-width apart and a slight bend in my knees. It felt a bit awkward at first, but I persisted.
Then came the backswing. I focused on keeping my arms relatively straight and rotating my shoulders, just like I saw Angela doing. I took a few practice swings, trying to get the feel of it. Honestly, my first few attempts were pretty stiff and jerky.
- Recorded myself swinging multiple times.
- Compared my videos to Angela’s, side-by-side.
- Noticed I was rushing my downswing.
- Worked on slowing down and being more deliberate.
Once I had a few swings recorded, I started analyzing them in slow motion. This was where things got really interesting. I could see all the little differences between my swing and Angela’s. For example, I noticed that I wasn’t getting as much hip rotation as she was. I also saw that my club path was a bit off, which probably explained why I tend to slice the ball.
Making Adjustments
Seeing these flaws was actually pretty helpful. I went back and tried to incorporate the changes I thought I needed to make. It was a lot of trial and error, recording, analyzing, and adjusting. I spent a good amount of time just working on my hip rotation, trying to get that extra bit of power and consistency that Angela seems to have naturally.
It was a slow process, and I definitely didn’t magically transform into a pro golfer overnight. But I did start to see some improvements. My swing felt a bit smoother, and I was making better contact with the ball.
This whole experience really showed me the value of recording and analyzing your swing. It’s like having a mirror that shows you exactly what you’re doing right and wrong. I’m definitely going to keep working on my swing, using Angela Lee’s technique as a guide. It might take a while, but I’m determined to get that smooth, powerful swing I’ve always wanted.
