Golfed 9 holes today at the golf club and had a sub 45 round in my sights. I stepped up to the final tee just hoping not to get into trouble when i took my swing with my 3 wood (I don't hit a driver) and watched the ball go 270 yards. I just couldn't believe it. I ended up finishing with a 45 for the round but it should have been lower because there were so stupid shots earlier in the round.

I do have to admit that the hole plays slightly downhill so in reality it was probably only around 250 but I will take it any way i can get it.

Nice.

Sometimes when I pull my 3 wood I have such confidence in it I can really let my swing go and extend through the ball and end up with some tee shots that go further than my driver. It comes and goes though....

Great shot!

I had a drive one time with my 3-wood that went about 240 or 250. I was doing the math in my head just standing there. The guys had to yell at me, "Hey, you going to play that or just stare at it!"

I couldn't believe it went that far. I wrote it down on my scorecard under all the names: "Drive 3w 240". I felt like I needed to mark the occasion.

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
