I have been working on my swing in recent months. Namely trying to stop flipping. Also, working my way through Bobby Clampett's TIZ and trying to use a flat left wrist, more forward swing bottom, etc.. My shots have never been better, but I am not impressed with my video today. Wondering if anyone might see something they would suggest I work on. Thanks for any comment.

Is that Bermuda or some type of cool season grass? I would think the Bermuda would be gold by now, even in North Carolina.

Oh ya, the swing :). In slow mo it does not look that bad however it lacks a bit of fluidity and looks a bit restricted.

How old is that video? Everything is very green for it to be shot in Mass in November.

Hand path looks pretty good, lifting a little bit or getting too steep. At halfway through the backswing a good checkpoint is to see if the left arm has "eclipsed" the right arm and the shaft with your arms create a 90° angle. This should be a good checkpoint of a good backswing plane that is more around the body.

Are our misses to the right?

Nantucket is an island 28 miles off of Cape Cod. Video was shot a few hours ago.

As for misses, all right of target. No slice or fade, but a push. 7 iron lands about 10-12 yards right of my intended aim line. A slightly more forward ball position in recent days has rectified this for the most part, but it is in fact a push I have been seeing for some time now. No longer do I hook the ball, that was my long time nemesis. I have never been one to slice a ball.

Dan, nice to put a face to the name after our recent transcripts lol

I like the impact position with your lower body toward the target, and the upper body tilted away.

My only glaring thing is that at impact your hands only seem marginally ahead of the ball, or even at best.

Not that I am the best judge in the world of a golf swing, but thought id let you know what i see.

Also just noticed in the follow through looks like a bit of a chicken wing with the left arm??

Thanks for the input man. I definitely want to have more forward shaft lean and a flatter left wrist. Thought I had been doing it, but video don't lie. Better than I had been in the past, but clearly still have much work to do.

Your left arm has way too much flex in it, you're loosing a lot of power. With a very flexed left arm, you're going to use that elbow to square the club, causing the ball to go out to the right. Straighten that arm and you'll be forced to release at impact, producing a more penetrating ball flight and eventually allowing you to work the ball...

Nice rotation though...

Dan, what camera are you using? That is a great slo mo. On topic-I really like your swing, and I can tell you're working on hands ahead at impact, wich is crucial. But I really love the camera. I've got to get a good slo mo cam.

Casio FS10, got it for $100 on Amazon last week. I have a Casio FX-20 (or similar), new model is FX-25. A nicer camera, but much bigger. The FS10 is about the size of a cell phone and fits in the bag easy. Get a Joby Gorilla Pod (small flexible tripod) and attach the camera to your golf bag. Amazon sells these too and they are about $15.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
