A week or so ago I posted "did you ever lose your swing."
Well, did you ever get it back better than before when it returned?
As someone predicted it might -- it can come back even better, and it did.

The remedy was mostly in balance and maintaining spine angle. The tops, fats and shanks disappeared once I figured it out, with a lot of help from this site, and Joe Laurentino's book, and a few other resources. Plus a fair amount of time working on it.

Today was just one of several good days that have followed. In fact it was one of the best contact days I've ever had.

Here are some of the pics I took of the contact tape from half of today's slow 40-ball lunchtime bucket, hitting off the mat. 7i and 8i. Didn't bother to tape the LW but that was working too.

The ball was flying and the moderate draw stroke was back. Nothing off the toe. Wind aided 7i was rolling out to 175 sometimes.

I was wishing I could play a round, making contact like this. The Rac MBs felt exceptionally sweet today. Just a few slightly thin, but most felt pure or close to it.

Well, I guess it isn't always going to be this way — swings and things can turn weird in a hurry — so might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

I thought I found a great swing a year ago and then I took a 5 month break. Practiced for about a month and a half and now I'm way more satisfied with the flow of my swing. So much that I just swing whenever I see my clubs in the living room. LOL.

    • Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.
    • I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?
    • The hell is Thomas Fleetwood wearing? He looks like a divorced dad from 1998. Even the shoes are hideous 
    • I was wondering this and haven't seen it on today's broadcast OR yesterday's, but apparently Cabrera did show up.  He currently has the third highest score for the week and is playing his last hole of this year's event.  I'm not particularly keen to see him, but I was wondering if he was present, and he seems to be.
    • Hatton hit 18 GIR.  That's incredible.   Rory's tee shot on #8 reminds me of a TV show, Get Smart, that I enjoyed watching as a kid.  The protagonist would often say "missed me by that much."  Rory missed avoiding the bunker by that much.
