I thought these looked pretty good.  Love that you have some forward press at setup.  That should give you the vision to hit down on the ball.  However, it appeared to me that from the face on view that you did not hit down enough on the ball.  It looked like you bottomed out too quickly instead of allowing the club to continue traveling down through and even after the hit.  I see the downswing like a hula hoop where the club head should be traveling down even after the ball is struck, and then the club comes up and left. 

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely don't hit down on the ball nearly enough, I know I need to get my weight more forward and turn my hips more on the downswing. My focus for the last month has been solely on the hips in the backswing, it would be an understatement to say I'm looking forward to working on something else 🙂

I like the hulu hoop analogy.

I haven't posted in a while, I need to just to keep track of my progress.

Last month or so has been a focus on my hands/club at A2, and then the shaft at A3. The goal is to have my hands and the club more in line at A2 (clubhead was previous well inside my hands) and a steeper shaft at A3.

This video is of the step drill I'm currently working on. The goal here is to get more weight forward at impact, as well as more hip turn. Hopefully this shallows out the shaft in the downswing, as well. Not there yet, but I'm happy with the backswing progress.

Haven’t posted in 5 months, time for an update!

Much happier with my backswing, currently working on shallowing my downswing. Currently experiencing some hip pain that’s setting me back. Has anyone else experienced this?

      Water in Bunker

      You’ve yet to propose anything else. And yet it was, and the rules tell you how to deal with it. Your question has been answered. Oh, so your league is full of cheaters and I disagree with your assessment of common sense. 😀 And yet they didn’t really change this one. Looks like this is about wrapped up?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      When you are penalized for hitting into the sand trap the penalty is having to hit it out of the sand, not out of three inches of water. A sand trap is not the same as a water hazard. A sand trap is not supposed to be under water. It is a unique condition caused  by weather and poor drainage. Most local leagues like ours allow the free drop in this type of situation, as long as there is no area in the bunker to legally drop. This is what I’m talking about, sometimes the official rules of golf don’t align with common sense. That’s why they are finally starting to change them. For example, when wind blows your ball off the green. That was a stupid rule. People being able to call the tv network to say they saw a players ball move. That was a stupid rule. I’m just saying, these are rules made up a long time ago, and it’s time to modernize them.

      Consider it another way: normally, it's a two-stroke penalty to move your ball out of a bunker (unplayable). The ACC reduces it to just one.

      No, hitting into a hazard that is supposed to be avoided and is designed to be penalizing is not the same as hitting it into the middle of the fairway.   You are penalized because you hit it into a hazard. Based on your logic let's say you hit it into a red staked penalty area and you could normally play it but it's in temporary casual water from rain. Would you expect a free drop from there too??

      They could have declared it GUR, sure. It is. It's temporary water, and as I said before, an abnormal course condition (ACC). That's what rule 16 is about — ACCs. No, a bunker ≠ the middle of the fairway. You are penalized because you hit it into a bunker. As for the rest… let's stick to the topic. Yep.
