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.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
