The upload on the driver swing didn't work the first time, here it is.

Sorry, but it looks to me like your swinging a tad to hard, cuz your off balance at the end of your swing. Maybe slow your tempo down a touch..?

I've been hitting it a lot better lately but I'm still struggling to get my backswing right. If I weren't so far under plane in the backswing, I'd definitely look a lot better. I've been getting much better path by trying to bow my left wrist more and curb my tendency to pull or cut it, but I still have trouble on the long clubs at times when I don't do this right. A stronger grip helps, but I'm still a little inefficient. I also did a bit better with more spine tilt away from the ball through impact after I finished shooting video; the flight was higher and the ball position farther forward, making for a slightly bigger and shallower arc and low point more forward. FO video was certainly needed since I've had trouble with a couple things you can't see dtl. I was very pleased with my iron striking and especially the wedges' trajectory and distance control. I also see less spin out and a better followthrough, so I know my right arm is working better. That shaft is very hard to get to the back of your neck otherwise.

I was surprised how the driver swing looked; it was not only a bit too much pull, it also didn't have a positive AOA like it was supposed to. Still went pretty far, but only because I kept the spin off it for the most part and probably hit it pretty high on the face. It's tough to trust my fade right now with it, but the drawn driver has been pretty effective, beating up a couple tough holes I usually struggled on. Right now my wedges are doing fantastic, solid irons, but I struggle a bit with the driver overall and I have a lot of trouble with the 15˚ hybrid off the deck. I could also use some work on my short game, but I still don't have as much practice time as I'd like because of my job training.

My thing to work on right now is simply getting my A2 to stop looking so stupid, get my hands a bit more in front of/between the shoulders and point the shaft more vertically near the top. Should enable me to be a little more efficient and hopefully hit my long clubs better with less effort.

The guy behind me in the FO view is my brother; he has major issues with key #2 but doesn't seem to want to fix it. He's hitting a wedge I believe, so I cut him some slack because he's just trying to create height on that shot.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
