I'm sorry. I've been slicing a couple and pulling with a minor hook. I don't understand why I'm making these shots so enlighten me...

Got me. Nothing in that one recent video looks like a pull/slice type swing.

Like I said, some slow-mo from some better camera angles would be helpful.

So you haven't changed your backswing "at all." What did you expect to happen? It's been how long? A week? And you're swinging at full speed? What are you trying to change? Where are the videos of you doing it slowly, having success at changing the picture, etc.?

Change takes time.

Rule 4 says-

Post good videos. Read this: http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing and don't post a lousy quality video or a practice swing. Videos should be embedded. The better the video and the easier it is to watch, the more and the better responses you'll get.

I'm sorry since I haven't been on this board for a few years. So I probably need to dust off some and come up with a new swing video while hitting at the golf range. Very sorry...will post the next video at the golf range.

Yeah that was blunt but I was about to say the same thing. It's a lot easier to change something when you aren't trying to flush a ball with speed, too.

Take your time. Changing things takes a LONG time.

Well I’ll be posting a face on video on Sunday; however, I have found a couple of swing flaws. 

I’ve found that at nearing the top of my backswing my swing appears flat and coming down my swing it appears steep. It looks minor but I can’t seem to correct it. Any swing thoughts or drills to help fix it?

I don't know that I agree.

I actually think the backswing looks pretty good - hard to tell as the camera angle is still poor (re-read the thread posted above about filming it) and we can't tell where the clubface is at the top of the backswing. Agree that you could certainly shallow the club a lot more in the downswing from this angle, but there's something else going on if you're jumping out of the shot the way you are through impact. Face on video would definitely help.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What are you working on? Addressing the flip or something else?

      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.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
