another thing that really helped me with the butt pulling off the wall was fixing my posture at address. Erik gave me some good instruction on fixing my posture. My legs were too bent at address with my butt sticking out and when I would go into the downswing I would get into a better position by pulling off the wall. When I fixed my address I didnt pull off the wall that much. Compare your posture with aaron baddeley in the video.



I just realized were throwing a ton of stuff at you, lol

Thanks for this tip, I agree.

See Erik's post.

yea I wasnt sure if he does it anymore or even did it that much in the first place, I just remember him saying he had problems with pulling his butt off the wall and those drills helped him.

It will be something I always work on. It will probably never be "perfect" but even a small improvement will help my game.

Thanks all for the contributions to this thread. I'll hit the range this weekend to work on getting the hands a bit lower and deeper, as well as the footwork and hips tips.

Really hoping to play a few amateur events in 2011, hopefully this will be a productive winter.

Agreed. Unfortunately, my posture is pretty bad and rounded shoulders run in the family. Really working on strengthening my core, keeping the abs in/lower back flatter and lifting/stretching to build up my back properly.

Rounded shoulders arent a bad thing. Too many people try to make the S posture with their back at address which isnt good, especially on your lower back. If you have your shoulders (rounded) or just hanging a little your will feel more contected to your pecks or chest.

Your back posture was fine. You just had a bit too much weight towards your heels. Stand a bit farther from the ball, a teeny bit taller (not much), and a bit more forward flexion from the ankles/shins. I think it was point #3 above. I mentioned it somewhere, but briefly.

Will do. This, along with deeper & lower hands came up in a recent lesson. Need to stick to this stuff.

It's finally snowy and frigid here in Nebraska, and for the life of me I can't figure out why Omaha doesn't any indoor or covered ranges.  There is an indoor virtual golf/sports bar, but it's an expensive way to spend an hour ($40).

I had been focused on footwork and the pressure point between my left arm and chest, and things are feeling better and better.  The lady let me turn the basement into a hitting area for the winter, and it's been clutch for ingraining setup changes and working on solid impact.  Can't take a full swing, but can hit at full speed from a 3/4 backswing with wedges and mid-irons.

Being able to hit real balls in January has never felt better :)
