It's just the old Vaseline or Chap Stick trick. In film form.

Showed up in my Amazon recommended for you product list. 

I wonder who's been telling them I need this? Hmm... probably @StuM...

We have someone who occasionally plays on Sundays who does the Vaseline trick.   Openly.   Didn't think there was anything wrong with it.   Now some of the guys call him "The Greaser" behind his back.

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.  Nice thing is that it is "Prime" with free returns.  If it does not work just return it to Amazon for a full refund., Then you could write a review on TST.

It does have one unknown person giving it a 5 Stars Rating (likely the seller).  The other 3 ratings are 1 and 2 stars.

Seriously?

How the hell does it 'accelerate face flex'? And I love the driver damage prevention as a bonus....😂

Caught my dad sneaking a lick to the face of his driver BITD, trying to tame his irreverent slice. It was funny. He was no threat to my game. His playing buddies busted him on it though.

@Wade do you get a commission every time you type “BITD”? 😄

Well I'm still a bit out-of-time with folks who never left the sport. It's the framework for most of my golf experience.

Commissions would be great, to whom do I report gor such? 😁

"gor" is "for" above, but I was on the device out buying plumbing parts. Can't fix it now, perhaps a mod could do that for me.  Thanks.

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
