A little curious about this statement. The ball doesn't move here, just your right foot. What was giving you a problem?

For some reason, maybe it was in my head, I just had trouble with getting a consistant FEEL. It may have been in my head, either way it just didnt feel right for me, whereas the system me and my instructor came up with, simply works for me, and feels right. With the hogan system, looking down at the ball i just felt as if each time were different, while with the system i explained, i feel like the balls in the same place, my feet are set in the same place and everythings good. Like i said could just be that i am a headcase

I am currently working on this part of my game. One problem I think I have is proper width on my stance as it relates to ball position. I think my stance has been too wide for my irons. I think that too wide a stance on the irons causes one to flip, come in too shallow and hit the ball fat. I tried watching the pros and they seem to have very narrow stances with wedges.

    • I have played 210 courses.  Maybe more, depending how you count them.  Some destinations have more than one course for the same club house.  Courses that have 27 holes, I've counted as 1 course; But some  have distinct courses.  For example I recently went on a golf trip to Robert Trent Jones Trail in Alabama.  We played 3 VERY different  courses even though they shared a common clubhouse.
    • Day 8 - Setup and grip. Hit balls for a bit with a shorter swing.
    • I agree. This is one of those subjects that people are uncomfortable talking about. It's 2024 and it still feels stigmatized.
    • Chipped in for birdie with a 9I on #8 at Spooky Brook, but it's a repeat. I had four birdie opportunities inside of 12-15' today and I didn't make a single putt. I'm only missing #1 on the composite for the front 9, but I only have three holes done on the back 9.
    • Based on what you wrote in another topic, I think you have a pretty good grasp of what it takes to make mechanical changes. Just keep at it. The only thing I can add is to exaggerate the move more that you're trying to change. If your swing is currently A and you want it to be C, don't swing C at slow motion until you ingrain it because in all likelihood you're going to end up somewhere closer to B. Swing at like G in slow motion to end up at C at full speed. Does that make sense?
