My sentiments exactly at the end of last year and taking the winter off did not help one bit... Hopefully you can have someone look at it for you.

A little quick, but looks pretty good. The first thing I noticed was that you're not maintaining the bend in your right knee- it tends to pull back and straighten. This forces you to adjust coming down and creates balance issues. Sometimes you're on your toes, others on your heals.

Try to turn around the knee on your backswing. It will help maintain spine angle but also creates a huge amount of resistence which will generate more clubhead speed with less effort.

Just my .02 anyway

Weapons of choice:
Irons/wedges: Titleist Tour Grind
Driver:Titleist 909D2
3 Wood: Tour Edge Exotic
Putter: Odyssey White Hot

I was curious do you usually have shoes on when you golf? If you do I would practice my golf swing with shoes on.

Damn, you rip it man, keep the good work up. P.S. if you have control problems, i would suggest to slow it down. Your plane looks a little steep too, if you dont hit draws, then i would flatten it out.

Actually, if you stop motion on the video I think he is in some some very nice positions. Good position at the top. Nice coming into the hitting area with the right elbow at his side. Stays behind the ball very nicely. Nice little reverse "C". Excellent release on the follow through. I can see where you could be a formidible player.

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

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
