I had to take a good two weeks off from swinging a club. 

After starting again following an 18 or so year hiatus, I'd gone from 140+ in my first round back to low 100s/high 90s. Everything was progressing well. 

Now I suddenly don't have a golf swing anymore. It's this awkward stiff slapping motion like I'm trying to hit a mosquito mid-flight with a golf club. Even when I do manage to make good contact, I've lost 20 yards off each club. 

I'm thinking this is a back to basics rebuild. Anyone know of any good videos that covers this?

    • I  no longer spend the time and effort trying to sell something I no longer need. Instead, if the clubs are in good condition, I go to my local golf shop or even Dicks Sporting Goods. Trade the clubs in for store credit and pick up something I need, like a hat. Cause you always need another golf hat!
    • Day 205 3-10 Wider backswing, reconnecting arm in downswing/arching wrist through. Also worked on less pause at the top. Recorded and hit a few foam balls. 
    • I really enjoyed this episode with Nick from Callaway. I didn't know the problem with swing weight and female golfers, but it makes sense. I actually think swing weight might not matter that much. If everyone senses the club differently, then wouldn't it mean that people might feel swing weights differently? Swing weight is a way to classify how heavy a club feels during the swing. Yet for a 70-year-old golfer, a D0 might feel like a D4 for a 25-year-old golfer? I think stronger people would consider higher swing weights lighter. Maybe a C8 equals a D2 in terms of feel?
