HA thats what tom watson used to say after pounding balls on range. i wish i had 10 cents for every time i said that.
i think i got it.
i consistently started the swing using all upper body. i think i have it, is this feeling?
staying very loose from the hips up, as you get to the top of the your back swing you are trying to propel the club through the ball by using your weight shift from the right to the left foot while keeping your arms tension free and letting the club fall right down to the ball. no attempt to hit it just trying to whip it through by using the weight shift.
thoughts?
this game is crazy!!!

Congratulations, but if you find that you really don't have it, then try the Master Key instruction that I have been posting about. I "got it" about 8 months ago, using that instruction, and I still have it. Now if I just had two good eyes to read greens with...oh well.

Congratulation from me too. I also use my upper body to pull my lower body during back swing. Then use my lower body pull everything back down in downswing. One thing I really pay attention to is my Balance. I make sure I am in Balance back and through. That's all : )

That's how I do it also.... after 3 years of being an upper body hitter!!!!

I learned a while ago however to never say "I got it". As soon as I did....... I would lose it.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 33 (20 Feb 26) - played the Friday men’s group shootout.  Solid day of working from some tough shot results - made for a good number of up and downs for par (8 of the 9 pars were such). Cart mate and I discussed the visual aspect of the game - and how much it plays into the individual’s mindset during the round.  Love when the discussion is focused on learning and taking positives away and not just how bad the miss may be.

      My Swing (iacas)

      By iacas · Posted

      Still kinda working on the backswing stuff. I can turn < 45°, but I tend to tilt toward the target a little. I can tilt away from the target, but I tend to turn a bit more. Case in point. I can do it, though: This I can do all day (it's more lateral than I want, but it's very linear): Here's what 38° of turn looks like. Almost freaking nothing.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
