Hello everyone, long story short, I used to be a 3, had 2 kids, and am now a 6 or 7 (not even sure). I've been making some improvements but still not where I need to be. Some fresh eyes would be great.

Thanks,
Trevor

On my misses, yes, it's usually a block. I agree, I kind of sway a little towards the left foot a bit early, thanks for confirming that suspicion!

You want to move to the left foot in the downswing. What you don't want is the head going forward as well. You have a bit of that but not much. I'd work first on keeping the right arm straighter and not overflexing it on the backswing.

Thanks Erik and Briars, you're both right. The overactive right hand on the downswing and the left foot hyper-activity probably both come from my baseball years. I'm having a difficult time shaking all of the baseball elements of the swing, I used to come WAY across the line with a flying right elbow too.

Will definitely keep these in mind next time out!

I would try and calm down your right elbow. It is causing a little hitch at the top as well.

Yeah, I can't even tell you how long I've tried to get rid of that hitch. I just do it naturally, probably another baseball thing. I'll hit a bucket with the camera on and swear I'm not doing it, then watch the vid and there it is every swing. I don't feel it either, it's crazy.

Hey Sucka27, are they still moving the range tees onto the grass a couple days a week out there at Willows, or is it all mats all the time now? I used to live in Kirkland a few years back and loved practicing out at Willows.....

Unfortunately it's all mats all the time now. Gold creek is a couple miles down the road, they have big topped off buckets for $6 and it's grass. Well, if you want to call it grass...picture a big cow field. The good thing is if you can hit off that grass, you can hit off almost any grass.

Carnation is out a ways but they had a really nice grass range last I knew. When I lived in sammamish I'd go out there 4 or 5 times a week.

    • Birdied #13 at Quail Brook, which is new. Blocked tee shot right which ended up being fine because I didn't hit it well enough to reach the fescue. Had 110 to the flag and was ready to hit a 3/4 GW to it (even tagged the club) but felt the wind pick up behind me so I decided to club down to the SW and hit it to 4'. Lipped out a 15-footer on #17 for birdie for a tap-in par that also would have been new.
    • I've had a couple of good shots since the last time I posted, 1 a 90 yard approach that I manufactured with my gap wedge that I knocked to about 18 inches, 1 a ~140 yard 8 iron that I got to about 3 feet (pictured), but this week my best shot was a 60 yard pitch. It wasn't anything special but I did hit it out of a divot, so that's what I'm more proud of. Plus, i didn't really have any memorable shots this week.
    • Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!
    • Day 8. Did a bit of setup and backswing work but hip is not ready to swing yet.
