Hey guys,

a couple of months ago i went down the rabbit hole of stack and tilt. and recently MORAD. Binge watched dochety, thehandstandgolfer, gorman golf etc.

 

5 months ago i was back home for the holidays and really went to work. 8 hours a day just grinding it. had the best swing I've ever had in my life and could control the ball on demand, even Tommy Fleetwood complemented it haha.

Then I overtrained, over did some feels went back home and got really bad. Really across the line, spinny hips, super shallow and flippy.

Luckily these last 4 weeks I've been just figuring out how to get back to that old swing and surpass it to a better one, and i finally am kind of back on track.

My biggest issue is my lower body, when i play bad the knees just kinda spin really hard and i cant slow them down to get them in sync with the rest of my body, they're better than before but thats a common occurring issue when i play bad.

These last 4-5 weeks I really worked hard on :

-tracing the baseline from p1-p4,

-i elongated my left thumb

-made sure the lead wrist doesn't get too cupped on the way back

-really focused on float loading in transition whilst making sure its on plane from p4-p6.

-p6 onwards just releasing the angles at the ball.

-I also am restricting the right knee a bit on the way back cause it started getting too extended too early.

-preloaded right side before takeaway.

 

as i said before, im struggling with lower body motions, how toshift 3 cogs in sequence etc. and the hips still want to fire hard and fast, ad the right foot gets up quick due to the spin. i also am staying too low without enough extension from p5 onwards. also randomly shanking it everythird swing, but i assume its from holding wrist angles too long and not extending up soon enough.

 

these are all my observations and my mostly my own self fixing with little input from coaches.

 

Anyways, sorry for the incoherent blabber. would really appreciate advice from you guys. 

 

My short game is really solid with putting being my strength and if i shoot around par or under its because of my up and downs and putting.

My long game and ballstriking is what put me in trouble for the longest, but since Ive been grinding at it really hard its getting better. hoping to make driving my best skill.

 

right now just binge watching mike mcnarry swings on repeat and the ogrady long arc vid.

 

THE SWINGS IN SHORTS ARE THE ONES FROM 5 MONTHS AGO

PANTS FROM TODAY

 

Cheers!

Also forgot to add. the biggest thing i worked on is really pushing out fro p4 to p5 (i.e extending trail arm away from body to reduce the over flexion and getting too narrow. when i do it i strike it pretty well, when i dont lowpoint all over the place)

Do you play golf with a swing that stops at the long arc type follow through, or do you swing through and let the clubhead overtake at some point, etc.?

Do you have a couple of good mid-iron swings from FO and DL in slow motion?

I feel like i long arc it up to a 6 iron, from there not as much. i start re-cocking faster just so i hit the ihgher ball flights with the longer clubs. 

the finish i play with is usually like the dtl videos i posted.

But the long arc feeling is mainly to feel very sequenced. when i do it correct and can stick the finish i know i was mostly in sequence.

Those swings in shorts are a 7/6 iron. I don't have some from today, i can film some tomorrow when i hit the range and post them if you'd like.

Yes, please, from good angles in slow motion.

And… what shots are you hitting currently when the shot is good, and what's your miss or bad shot right now?

      It’s simple. Hook it onto the tee box of the adjacent hole. Get a GIR with your approach. Birdie hole. #5 Hook it to the adjacent fairway Hit green with next shot. Birdie hole. I call it the Bill Method.

      I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
