During your swing do you have a special move or sensation that keeps the checks on right.

I am a right handed golfer and when I am swinging through I feel a little twing/muscle flex into my right finger and middle finger on the right hand, and almost ensures the club stays down and gets it a little deeper on the strike. It's my signature feel and it has really helped me out tremendously. My irons and woods have become a very part of my game because of it.

i dont have one during my swing... but my brothers clown me when i put my brushtee in the ground... i always flick it 3x before planting it... then flick it 3x before putting my ball on top... and i also place the alignment guides on the ball the same as when i putt so i can read whatever is printed on the ball
RUSS's avg drive - 230yrds and climbing

Swing sensation,

This, to me is the best instruction that could be for a feel player. I've had a few tips in my day that have stuck. On the release, feel like your skipping a rock.2nd, feel like you come from underneath the shot. Lastly, i feel like my right hip is smashing the ball into the ground.

To clarify, i hit a long fade and love it!!!!

when you say you feel like your skipping a rock doesnt it fee like your weight is staying on your back foot?

    • Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position. 
    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
    • Day 126 12-16 Back swing and rotation work today. Didn't hit any balls. Focusing on rotating and getting to lead side.
