Well hello there friends, just figured I'd throw my hands up and say hi. My name's Brad and I currently reside down in the Bayou State in a small town outside Baton Rouge. I work at a Kia dealership as an Assistant Service Manager and play golf on the weekend or my off days. I'm one of those lucky ones that has a wife who loves to play and enjoys coming with me.

I've been playing since I was about 8 years old with a long break from when I was about 15/16. We just started playing again a month or so ago and have fallen in love with the game all over again. I used my father's clubs for a little bit, but they were a little too long for me. Since I didn't really know what clubs to get etc etc, I just bought a cheap-o ebay set with a bag for like $70.

I know, I know, the clubs are embarassing. Although, for my current skill level/accuracy, I think they're an alright fit until I find a decent used set. I'm finishing in the upper 90s/low 100s for 18 holes and I usually put a little left to right midair spin on my drives so I figure until I master my swing, beginner's clubs are fine... :)

Nice to meet you all and I hope I can learn something!

Hello,

    • 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.
