100% agree, feedback is everything with learning. With out feedback, your brain doesn't know what parts to replace with the correct information. Some people may be able to distinguish between a new pattern and old very fast. Some it might take some time, but once you start to have that feeling of, "Oh that was more like the old pattern." Now you are on the right path. Especially if you can feel it at speed.

The latest episode on low spinners vs bounce was very good. I listened while chipping in the basement. You all do a good job on letting each other speak and ask questions we would ask.

What is the best way to practice short game shots if you don’t have a green available to practice on? Should you also film your short game swings and putting practice?

I enjoyed the latest episodes with Mike Granato. His unaffected style wants to make me listen to him more.

The ones from months ago? 🤣 Catch up, man!

Honestly, I just go to the podcast 'channel' on Spotify and it plays whatever is in line. I'm usually driving so cant tell what's fresh and what's old. Incidentally, the previous one I listened to was the Ep. 30 (also, what Spotify served up..) which I believe is fairly fresh. Pretty good episode as well. 

Anyway, my post stands on it's merit. Keep up the great content! :beer:

Just listened to the latest episode about force plates. I've been interested in these for a while, but holy smokes are they expensive. Smart 2 Move's website notes at the top that it is now affordable for the average golfer and then the bottom rung most basic version starts at $7,300 all the way up to the 3D RS version at about $35,000. I have a different idea of what affordable means. Does anyone know of an actually affordable option?

One other note - I agree with Erik 100% - the pizza box joke was indeed terrible. 🤣

Go get a lesson 😉

Probably not something you need to buy. Like owning your own personal GEARS system. 

Honestly, I think if you are told what to look for you can self-assess with video.

Ha - I get to use some quite fancy ones when I go for a lesson. I'm thinking more about something I can use to check how I'm doing outside of the lesson. The thing I was working on last time I got on the plates I think would be extremely difficult to see on video (the line between the CoPs of my feet was too flat and I needed to get more left toe and right heel on the way back rather than center of both.

I really enjoyed this week’s show on force plates. Last year, my instructor never let me have all my weight on the back foot- perhaps 70% max. He encouraged me to shift forward and use vertical forces since I am a front post, upper-core golfer. This improved my irons pretty quickly. Do others see more benefit with a greater weight shift back?

If anyone is interested, there do appear to be some options here. There are salted insoles, which run about $200. Seems like they're pretty basic and their website links to Amazon, which says they're out of stock and don't know when they'll get more. Then there are Bal.on insoles for about $600. More sensors and a much better app with guidance like hackmotion comparing your trace with pro traces. Then there is sensor edge sports who have a two mat system for $3,500. After that seems like you're into Smart2Move or SwingCatalyst and spending muchos denarii.

Yeah, those insoles aren't too bad. I've heard decent things.

Just listened to the latest episode, interviewing David Orr. 

One thing I am not sure I agree with is the difference between blades and mallets. How blade putters are more precise. I think any putter can be precise. Especially one that is fitted for you. I don't think it's the same distinction between game improvement irons versus blades.  Maybe the distinction is there for feeling center hits, as a feedback loop for finding the sweet spot.  

I like the idea of always going through your routine. I like the idea of being more conscious of how the putt rolls out, and not caring about making the putt when practicing. Creating this feedback loop to develop feel and aim.

Really enjoyed today’s putting podcast. As someone who uses the face to aim it was fun to hear about this.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
