It's nuts how true this is.  Been working with @mvmac and Dana for a few weeks now to fix a way inside backswing.  Screwing around with the new net this afternoon and saw that I was still doing it, even though I "felt" like I was keeping the club (and my hands) perfectly in front of me.  Figured, ok let's see what happens when I feel like I'm taking it outside, or rather, almost "pushing" the club towards the target line.  Felt like I was almost across the target line, buuuuut...obviously not.  Right on plane.

I went through the exact same change/feeling about 2 months ago. I was shocked how much of a different feel it took to make the visible change necessary.

Right? I feel like my left arm and the club are on the opposite side of the target line in that pic. Going to take a ton of work to change the downswing...

Golf is hard

Thanks for that Mike, makes us hackers feel better when someone of your skill says its hard, however, as an instructor shouldnt you be re wording it and saying its  "challenging but worthwhile" as that sounds more motivational? :-D "

I guess that's why we exaggerate motions, haha.

I've historically always brought the club back too far on the backswing and even though I feel like I don't go back that far, when I look at it on video, I go back.

Only by really feeling as though I shorten it does it actually shorten.

how long is your wing span vs how tall you are? my club head would get way behind me, I had a pro take my measurements found out I'm 5,9 with a 6'3 arms. we made some adjustments to my set up, then we or I would say I worked hard on the take away, come to find that when I take the club head back correct it goes outside the target line and I make almost perfect contact and gained distance. with what you have learned your body may be showing you your golf swing. I have shot 82. 84. 84. 92. 89. since I made these changes. last couple of years I was lucky to score a 89. and my short game sucks. my guess would be your working on not coming over the top. and you found a way to get the club to go outside to in. congrats, and stick with it,

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
