Hi All,

I haven't been on this site in several years. I've had a rocky path with golf instruction which was not helped by knee injurious. I just started up doing online lessons with @iacas! I'm very excited and re-motivated to improve my swing! 

Anyone else dealing with knee issues? 

Just saying 'hi'!

Thanks. We joke that the site is mostly used to post our Wordle scores these days, so maybe hop in on that if you haven't already. 😄 Good to work with you again @scopek.

      I’m going to go out on a limb and say that maybe if Jason spent less time on his clothes and more on golf he would win more.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, my league starts next week, and I have a golf trip in two weeks. I am thinking no matter what I do, I will have to do my left leg and downswing turning piece. At least this turning piece helps me negate shanking the shot.  I probably shanked the foam ball about 10x in a row yesterday. Given, I was doing downswing work with not much caring about the body rotation. I was struggling to feel the same thing from two days ago. Where I was able to feel the arm piece and the turning piece working together. Yesterday, my body turn was just destroying my arms down piece.  That said, it’s not like I have a great feel for where the club is in space. Especially with how fast the downswing is. If I do the arms downswing piece with the turn piece better. I just feel those two things. Then after I am going into the finish I am like, "Oh, that was center of the clubface". I am glad the clubface found the ball. Maybe that is normal when you are trying to fix your mechanics. You are so hyper focused on the hitting the swing feel that the feel for the club is just gone.  I’ve watched YouTube videos where they talk about how correct lower-body mechanics give you the feeling of having tons of time in the downswing. I’m like, BS! there is no time. If anything, it feels faster now. 🤣 I do notice that the clubface stays more open past impact, less flippy. Not like I am trying to do that. Actually, with the downswing arm piece, I am trying to feel like I am rolling my wrist (closing the club a bit more).
