hi there

just joined up.

am from the midlands in the uk and love golf. my dad is an ex club pro s o i started from a fairly early age.

i currently play off 5.4 (not sure how the americans work out handicap) but have just finished making a few swing changes so am hoping to improve scoring.

im also a greenkeeper at the course im a member of so it works quite well for me :lol:

cuold really do with improving short game as its the only thing that i could really make some shots up on eg, shot 74 (par 70) but had 33 putts so have to improve that.

anyway, current equipment is

983E 8.5* Graffalloy Prolite 35S
Taylormade rescue mid tp 16* fuji vista pro stiff
hogan apex tour 2-E (no 3 iron) hogan '4' shafts
588 rtg wedges in 51, 56 and 60 degrees
yes c groove emma putter
pro v1 or pro v1x depending on weather

am looking forward to enjoying the forums

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
