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.

Golf season is almost here. Got out twice this last weekend...snow this weekend. Hopefully I'll get out regularly soon.

Here's the latest swing I submitted to Evolvr:

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?

Been working on a fuller backswing and getting more open at impact. These are moving in the right direction, but there’s still room for improvement.

    • Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands
