Note for the backswing hip turn. The trigger for the downswing hip transition might feel like I just increase pressure in the lead foot. Don’t feel the hips gain extra turn just for the sake of using that momentum to turn forward. When practicing my backswing I can feel myself want to gain extra turn to trigger the downswing turn.

Yay range session. 

So, not as much success as I want. Hey, I got a bit of success, or until I get corrected 😁.

The process was.

1. Focus on posture at set up. Hips less back, weight more in center of feet. Just adding this in as something easy to do.

2. Make a backswing not letting my hips gain a ton of turn. Feels like I brace  the turn against my left leg, I get a bit of stretch or resistance in my inner left thigh. 

3. Finish backswing earlier, bit easier with less hip turn. In the video below, the carry on took the club to a good posit at A4, not crazy long. 

4. Trying to bring hands a down to my right pocket.

The major difficulty is 100% getting my hands down in the right way. They just like to pause at A4 and get carried out with the turn.

I thought I work on a bit of backswing length stuff to get more of a feel for it. Restricting hip turn, and feeling the swing stop a tad shorter. Not to bad. Disregard downswing stuff, I had zero thought on it. 

I did work on the downswing stuff a bit earlier. It is a bit tricky for me right now. Still much more work to do.

Tried slowing things down and piecing things out for the downswing piece. I would take the club to A4, pause everything, drop the arms down and then start turning. The pause felt like a solid second or two of pause. 

Here is one more ramped up not feeling much of a pause. I can see the hands starting to drop down from A4, but then gets carried out to much. Just got to do it more.

 

On a side note, doing this works the crap out of my forearm and shoulder muscles of my right arm. I may need to supplement this with some left arm exercises later 😛

Some notes….

For timing of the hands down stuff, slowing the hands and club into A4. Like at A3 the hands are moving slowly and coming to a slow stop at A4. It seems to help give me time to trigger the right arm down.

Fast early, backswing is "done" by A2.5.

DTL Drill 

DTL 7 Iron - I just had to get a few swings in where I don't focus on the transition stuff. This was more focusing extending the left leg much sooner in the golf swing. Really pushing off with the left foot. It feels like I start pushing off like at A3

Ok, so in review. I just got to do this slower and figure out a feel that works. Not sure if I need to pause at the top, like pause the body turn as much as possible. Because once I trigger, I have no time to feel anything.

Current swing thoughts while playing. 

Swing to A3, stop turning when left shoulder reaches chin.

Feel a pause where the body feels coiled up, then swing through.

GEARS session today up in Erie. 

Updated Priorities.

1. Keep swing shorter, and less bend in right elbow at end of backswing (sub 90 degrees). Hands feel higher, club feels pointing up to the sky more. Feeling like my right palm is pushing away from my head, and resisting the club at A3-A4

Right Elbow.jpeg

2. How I use my hips in the backswing. I need to slide to my right side, and then use more internal rotation of the right hip to send the hip back and up. This keeps the right knee facing forward more, instead of having it rotate out. I also need to pause at the top of the swing. This is to help get a better syncing of my sight shift and turning for the downswing.

Not really a "pause" just "stay right longer." You're still moving the whole time, and it stops you from shifting forward early, slowing down, then having to "re-start" the forward shifting.

New routine for the course.

Take a practice swing for backswing length. Come down to ball how I want to present the clubface. Make swing matching backswing length and then presenting the club face to hit the target line I want. visualize hitting the ball at an alignment stick. When I focus on target line I hit some really good shots.

    • What doesn't make any sense to me is the claim that this merger is driven by the mutual desire to stop the bleeding and fallout from the lawsuits.   On costs, for example.  Lawsuits are expensive, yes.  But businesses smaller than the PGA Tour are in big lawsuits all the time.  You're telling me the PGA Tour can't afford 2 or 3 lawsuits that have been going on for a year or two?  Not only that, you're telling me they got into these lawsuits and what, were surprised that they'd have to pay their lawyers?  Monahan didn't first ask the lawyers, hey, so what do you think this is going to cost us?  Come on.   And even if you assume this is, in large part, about the costs of the lawsuits, it means that the CEO decided to file a lawsuit, then a year later came back and said to his organization that the lawsuit he started was bleeding them dry and the only solution was to let the group he sued buy a huge chunk of the organization?   Oh, and in this deal he negotiated, he's in charge of the new company?  That's either some extraordinary incompetence or a breach of his fiduciary duties to the organization or both.     And then there's the idea that something harmful would come out of discovery.  So again, we'd have to believe that these executives started lawsuits, not realizing there would be discovery, then realized they'd be embarrassed, and went back to their organizations and said, hey, my mistake, time for the organization to bend over otherwise I'll be embarrassed.  Or maybe its that discovery was going to cause them to lose the case.  Sure, that could make sense.  Until you tell me the solution to losing an antitrust case is to merge with your competitor.  Huh? I know that the PGA Tour only filed one of the lawsuits and the others were filed against the Tour and they didn't really have a say in that.  But much of this still holds.  The Tour still went ahead and filed a lawsuit it says it couldn't afford when already entangled in one.  And we have two orgs suing each other and then saying they have no choice but to merge (or whatever you want to call it) because....they sued each other?   New information could certainly change any of this.  We don't know a lot.  But based on what we do know, it doesn't pass the sniff test for me.  I think its more likely that Monahan and YAR decided this was an explanation the players and the public would accept without questioning.  Everyone will say, oh yeah, lawyers are expensive, risks, discovery, yada yada, IANAL, makes sense okay.   And you see a lot of the players saying that.   I realize its not some great revelation to suggest that this deal was driven by business reasons.  Maybe this was really just the Michael Scott Paper company deal--PIF wasn't going to stop, so the tour could either fight them forever or let them in.  But a lot of the players are saying its mainly about the litigation costs and I think that's a pretext to cover up the real reasons.

    • Set up position tends to be the most consistent between better players (lower St. Dev.). I wonder what the comparison in rate of axis tilt change is between different points. Like, if a golfer sets up with axis tilt of 90 versus someone with 96. Does the 96 try to lose axis tilt at a faster rate? Maybe the rate of axis tilt change is more consistent between better players.

Daly still carries on the smoking tradition. I remember there was a guy on the Senior tour that always had a Te-Amo hanging out of his mouth back in the early 2000's.
