Lam Chih Bing's Swing Sequence at the Barclays Singapore Open

Here's our very own home boy!

Check out his massive shoulder turn at the top of his swing and how much his forearms have rotated with full extension 3/4 of the way into his followthrough!

nice skins.

Wah lao! I take all that picture for you to just notice the skins ah!

heehee. no lah.

alot of things are observed. but i dun dare come out with thesis anymore...

Eh, put la... Sure got people want to read ur thesis, me for one. After then decide what to grade you la...

I'm very bored, everyone playing golf this weekend and I have to stare at the ceiling on my back!

One word: FWOOAR!

I think it's amazing the amount of coil he generates and his release is spectacular. He is one of the longer drivers on the Asian Tour, I think, so this isn't unexpected. In any case, it's nice to see the swing in this sequence. Thanks, Birdman!!

the shaft looks like a rubber hose manz...

Ur welcome TS.

Hard to emulate his positions, Chih Bing is just so strong. Built like a tank!

If we try, sure end up with wrist, elbow, back, and knee problem!

very strong sia.. the shaft bend so much, i think bend more than tiger's ..

but somehow guess he is too aggressive.. always starting play good then ltr. not so good..

Great Pics Birdman ! LCB's lower base is so strong ! No wonder they say the swing is from the ground up!

Were they taken by you Birdman?
nice composition, red against all the green, heh heh.
I was clapping hard for him at sentosa. Thanks for the nice pics!

I'm not MC and so got no thesis, but since birdman has kindly spent time posting his great pics, I'll post some observations from my untrained eyes: (actually I was observing the syt in purple tank top in the pic )

LCB has a very nice, strong powerful swing. I think even as a junior, he was hitting it further than his peers. He also seems to have the slight "squat" action most strong players have; (although I think recently tiger might be working on cutting down a little on his "squat/jump" move which sometimes gets slightly wild).

In LCB swing seq pic 1 and 2, the amt of "blue" of the signboard behind is just a little, but in pic 4 (presumably this is where he begins he downswing transistion) we can see his whole hand fit in the "blue" portion of the signboard and similarly in pic 5 and so on.

Errr. my england not powderful, so I searched for some stuff off you tube to hopefully illustrate what I'm trying to say better.

Again great swing, don't try to learn golf off the internet, go see your local pro, don't take advise from weekend hackers like me spouting crap on the internet, and thanks for sharing the pics.

Shawn Clement (the 1st of 3 videos posted by Ssquirrel)! I've watched ALL his videos on YouTube!
Good share Ssquirrel!
Cheers!

Wah, your secret spy scope sure see a lot man... Thanks for the analysis SS, was observing his head movement through the pics as well, from covering half the 9 on the backswing, to covering all of it at impact, to moving entirely off it in the followthrough. No focusing on keeping the head still here. All power moves with the head reacting accordingly. But that's just my observation.

Cheers for the vids as well. Shawn Clement is great in his videos, puts everything across really really well.

Still waiting for MCs thesis..... (whistle....)

nice photo captured Birdman... Should be a powerful camera...

so are our heads suppose to move?

Then u'll hear a "craaacuukk"and off to see the neck specialist..

so is to keep it still or move slightly?

SSquirrel is right, Ur coach has a bigger plan for you to build ur swing. Can be frustrating for coaches when they have student who keep coming back with too many ideas and questions, cos there are so many ways to swing a golf club. Ur paying good money for a proven system, stick with what ur coach says. Down here just kachang puteh discussion. Something SSquirrel loves... nuts!

I took this advice from you long time ago and still applying it till this day.

Birdman, what camera where you using?
What was the FPS? In programmed mode?

Casio FH-20, now FH-25.

Still shots were with the 40 fps slowed down to 24 fps then can capture the full backswing and forward swing. 40fps takes 40 shots per second for only one second. Slow down the frames per second then can take more shots at longer duration. At 24 fps, duration is up to 2.5 seconds, enough to capture the whole swing.

Slow motion of the bunker swing was at 240 fps with hi speed video function. at 620 fps, the swing is too slow already, so 240 fps just nice. Video can be edited in camera for the front and end, also have splitting and joining functions.
