Day 7: 5/13/2025 Range day today. Had a really good session. I was able to pull a mirror over into my stall and make a slow-mo swing in the mirror and then try to duplicate the swing to hit a ball. Felt really good today. Tomorrow will be league night. -

I have not posted here for a long time, but thought I would share a couple of things. I have been working neuro-pathways. the message center from the brain to the muscles. When we move the body in new ways new pathways are created and when we stop moving certain muscles the pathways shrink. The body is very intelligent and it tries to be efficient , only using what is needed for the task at hand. I have working with the cable machines. Now most people who use the cable machines know the muscle gets a more even workout with the cables vs dumbbells . but what I did was pick out several exercises and did them on every setting on the cable machine, one arm at a time. At first glance it seems like the settings are so close it does not make much difference until you get to a lower setting, but I find it does. I used very light weights and did like 5 reps per exercise. We will see what I discover -

Hard to see in the video, what is your miss? Is it slice? One thing that I am sure someone will shoot me down about, but it works for me.... if I was looking at your grip for me... Your trail hand looks to me to not be over your lead thumb enough. I am not saying it is "too strong" I am saying the feel I would be getting from having my trail hand where you have it is I am using the right hand to muscle the club through like an off-side shot in cricket and that causes all sorts of problems. It probably makes zero sense to a pro coach, but that feeling makes me stand up to release the club (or chicken wing). It tells my brain the club isn't going to ready in time, so start extending early and/or chicken wing). By having it more on top I find it makes me pull through the ball with the lead hand, and my brain says "yeah well the face is ready for that, go for it". If my hand is open, it tells my brain the face is open, then I stand up and it sure as hell opens up when you do that! My absolute biggest issue at the moment is standing up/back off the ball at impact. When I change my grip it allows my brain to "stay down". It may mean you have to go a bit stronger on the lead hand as well. I also - cue more howling - have my lead thumb on the right side of the grip, not on top and snugly beside the lead index finger like so many people teach. It just does not work for me. Sorry for the long-winded confusing-as-hell response, but it works for me. Grip is so underrated and hardly gets discussed in the detail it deserves IMO. There is an amazing link between brain and hands/fingers.
