Back for more. I took a few new videos on the 5th. The first is probably the most balance 8 iron I've ever hit. The second is a pretty solid 5 iron. The last is an "ok" hybrid. I claim fault in the bug that decided to take a break on my ear for that goofy swing.

Is it just me or do you shift forward beyond the ball before you make contact? But who am I to judge when your handicap is 20 strokes better than mine!

Yes. That is why he is a 1+ handicap.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

i notice a bitch of a hitch in the take away with your hands....i have the same problem and am trying to fix.

Those are certainly great shots. I'm nowhere near where you are in the swing department, but I have a question. I noticed that when you pivot your rear foot it doesn't just roll onto the toes, but at the very end it skips and ends up replanting maybe and inch or so from where it would be if it just rolled over.

Is this the result of just having a full follow through?

People on here have mentioned that before. I don't do it consciously, nor do I think it effects my swing negatively. I'm not worried about it.

Sorta yeah, I like to twist my left hip as hard as possible to start the downswing (ala Ben Hogan's Five Lessons) and hit down and through the ball. I don't think of it as a shift, but an uncoil to the left.

Yeah, I've got a little foot drag working. I feel its a result of a full follow-through more than anything. I've consciously try to get through the ball. My right foot follows. I think it was Payne Stewart who had the same thing going.

    • Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.
    • Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front. 
    • Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.  
    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
