3 bad replies to my post.  The proper reply would have been, "How do you make the lower body movements subconscious?".

Well, if anyone wants to know that, you will have to read my earlier posts in this forum.  I am tired of wasting my time.  I now just read a thread once in a while for amusement.

First, you were degrading to Erik in your post. You didn't counter anything of his with actuall thought, just a blatant comment that he was wrong. Then you go and just say it should be subconscious, when for many its not. I couldn't tell you the number of times i see poor shifting and hip movement. If it was subconscious, meaning built in, able to just let it go, why doesn't it work for them. Maybe if you were a bit more polite in your response you wouldn't have gotten three bad posts.

Now, on my personal experience, i overswang, and always had very active hips. I would just overrotate back, even the hips, get way on my right side, and the only way i could hit the ball good was to hit a pull or pull draw, so i would just rip through getting my weight as forward as possible. This was a THOUGHT that i had to use. Now after changing my swing, it actually helped me, because that exageration became subconscious.

I think you'll find my post was an explanation of a method on exactly how to do that based on my personal experience. Of course it may not be the same method you use, nor the same method someone else may use but it's nevertheless a valid method that others can learn from and which is offered freely without telling others they need to ask me how.

I'm really not sure how it can be classed as a 'bad reply'

If I didn't already have a method myself for removing the conscious though in the hip movement (and if I was even remotely interested in yours) I would have asked.

    • Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.  
    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
