What Are You Working On?

[cignatz21]

Being stuck inside for the greater parts of the last two months due to Pennsylvania's cold and snowy winter, i have only been able to work indoors. I am working on:
Putting, it has always needed more work, and going into my senior year in high school, I would love to get my avg. putts per round down to 28.
Chipping/Ball striking, my short game has always been relatively good, but my ball striking with my long irons no so much, so hopefully I can improve.
Waiting, cannot wait for the weather to get warming to start walking 18 daily.

Fixing up my swing to score better and to hurt my back less...but i can still only swing in my living room due to the weather.

[flopdarock]

increasing my clubhead speed while maintaining a reasonable amt of control over the flight of my ball...
im working on some bizarre lag drills just to get the feeling of holding it until the optimum time to release it...
so its kind of a lag and release drill

[Boyder]

Generally better ball striking and sharper short game.

I am working on adding more power to my full swing. To do that I am working on a more powerful set up position.

At address, I am working on having my elbows point toward my hips with the inside of the elbows facing up. Then I want to bring them as close together as possible.

When done correctly it makes a huge difference, adding as much as 30 yds to my drives and a club longer than normal with the irons.

The watch out is when moving the forearms and elbows closer together you can create tension in the shoulders and upper arms. That is taking it too far and will restrict movement and ruin the golf swing.

It's all about the takeaway right now as I developed a habit of rolling my arms thus opening the clubface at takeaway. It's amazing how you don't realize it until you take a video lesson. I'm trying to practice my takeaway before my full swing and make sure the face is slightly shut. That pre-swing move and a flatter left wrist (i'm right-handed) at the top of my backswing are helping me big time! Good-bye right side of the course!

increasing my clubhead speed while maintaining a reasonable amt of control over the flight of my ball...

so far so good... took my new swing to the course... im seeing great increases in distance... but accuracy took a nose dive shot shaping wise...

ive gotta get to a range and start working some of these kinks out so i can keep the distance and gain more accuracy

Hitting a better position at the top, consistent putting.

Once the weather warms up a little, I'm going to work on a modified stack and tilt. I want to do a flat take-away with my hands going inside. I suffer from too steep a swing so when I consciously take a flatter swing I get good results. I say modified stack and tilt because I already keep a straight back leg anyway so i'll work on lowering my left shoulder and turning it around my body vice shifting my weight back. Hopefully I won't be so confused that I can't break 100 :)

My short game. getting up and down 60% of the time from around the green. I am focusing on distance control with my chip and pitch shots.

[RossOliver]

Swinging from the inside and releasing the club more down the line.

[pusher]

Ball position and tempo, tempo, tempo.

[calvie7]

Attacking the ball, hitting down on it especially while chipping... easy to decelerate.

[Yukari]

Posture, down swing, and follow through. But mostly down swing--sliding and turning the left hip before swing the club.

[smcneice]

This year am workiing on one thing having confidance over the ball. When I relax I play well but to many times I worry about the shot and over think it. I only took up golf recently but never knew how much mental the game was.

I've done a lot to clean up my position into P2, so now I'm working on flattening or dropping the shaft at the top by keeping my right elbow a bit more in front of me rather than letting it angle back. I get steeper at the top when, if anything, I want to feel like I get flatter. Lots of people do a little "flattening" at the top but perhaps the most well known is Sergio.

[AndersT]

My main focus before the season starts (probably in April here in Sweden) is to get more hip/leg action in my swing. The key is probably to keep my right leg from straightning too much in the back swing...

Chipping with 8/9 iron...... Trying like hell to break 90
