Man, that's a really fast tempo you've got.

I have a quick one, but remember.... your not trying to hit the ball on the backswing. You have a faster backswing than most people have full swings.

Nice swing though!
you have a pretty wide stance too, but unless you slow down the backswing I wouldn't change it.

Only thing I can see is that it looks a bit armsy on the backswing...

Yea my tempo is something im working on. Everytime we get out there no matter if im with my friends or a random group, everyone tells me my backswing is way too fast. The stubborness (sp?) in me says F'em, Ill swing how I want to, but I finally realize that their right. Im just gonna act like Im hitting an 80 yd shot so my backswing will be less aggressive. Ill try a more narrow stance as well. Golf is too fun and too expensive to be bad! Thanks for the feedback.

That probably explains why my left deltoid is kind of sore. It seems lilke when I try and use less arms in my backswing, my head gets pulled too far behind the ball. Ill try and work it out at the range today. Thanks.

In my backswing or my downswing? I feel like I rotate my hips fine on the downswing...

Yeah, you're not rotating your hip at all. It seems very fixated. Probably that's why someone else said that it's an armsy swing.

Backswing. You should get a video from down the line too, easier to see there.

      That’s totally fair. I have my chipping issues which make my putter more playable in that situation. Really just confirming that while not optimal there comes a point where if you need to use a putter (for whatever reason) then the optimal mechanics breaks down. I know I’m a sample of one. 😂

      Day 329 - 2025-08-26 Hit 24 balls before lessons and JEP Summer Session. With the MP-33. 🙂 Put an undersized grip on my VR Pro accidentally.

      Well, that's not really a putt at that point. You could easily choose to putt that up the slope with a hybrid or something.

      Day 15 (August 26).  I missed practice yesterday, but otherwise had a 14-day streak going into it.  Somehow, some of my posts for this appear in my profile but I can't seem to see them (I hope I didn't break any rules that would cause them to be removed).  I am hoping I'll be able to keep doing some practice while I'm out to regain the red text.  Context:  am on vacation, this week with friends.  What was today's actual practice? Today, a friend and I decided to go to TopGolf;  it was kind of like being at the range with someone else's clubs.  And that's ultimately how I was able to use it for practice:  I don't practice choosing a target, lining up to it, and then hitting often enough;  that's what this place seems to be about.  In any case, we were there for 90 minutes, I was hitting for maybe 35-40 minutes of that time, and I did pick a target each time.

      Day 2 - (26 Aug 25) - Church men’s golf nine hole Captains choice.  Had grandson as part of our group - was a blast watching him drill the putts.  Love these no pressure sessions - great for going outside the norm on club selection.
