When I first started playing, I told myself that if I can only break 100, I'll be happy.Ā  Once I did, I told myself IF I can only break 90, I'll be happy.Ā  Now the real truth is come to light, IF I can only break 80, I will be truly happy.......šŸ˜

Very true. Ā Similarly, if one hits a 250 yardĀ drive straight down the middle, people often say, "If I could do that every time, I would be happy." Ā And I always think to myself,Ā yes, for about a day, then you will want to hit it 260!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.Ā  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.Ā  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path isĀ traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.Ā  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.Ā  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the groundĀ behind my right foot. Ā Ā  Left knee stuff, just sooner.Ā

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6ā€ apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead footā€¦.moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call ā€œleap frogā€ - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total. Ā Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.Ā
