Eh, for me, it's more pronation of the left arm.

Just about done working on the backswing. Don't love the right leg here, but otherwise P1 to P4 is good.

Not worried about the downswing just yet. Hit like 50% shanks today with foam balls (which is fine and actually a good sign for me).

Backswing pretty good. Feeling good about that.

Hmmm. That's in slow motion here, but didn't upload that way to YouTube. Oh well.

GEARS Hybrid session today. My quick notes… (mostly for me, but feel free to ask any questions you've got):

First… working on limiting the pelvis turn.

01_pelvis_turn.jpg

Clearly, I can do this when I want to do it. 🙂 This is just before the end of the backswing. Pelvis sway is a bit too big, though. Worked on that a bit more…

02_lateral_transition.jpg

As I noted, though the thrust is good, the laterals were getting a bit too big so my axis tilt was thrown off a little bit.

Axis tilt and hip turn doing okay here. Right elbow could be better, but not worried about it today.

04_P4_axis_tilt.jpg

I only made nine swings (with some rehearsals). GEARS Hybrid lets you work through things really quickly.

Ignoring the downswing (it's still January!), this backswing was pretty good. Really happy with this one.

05_DL_Swing8.jpg

06_FO_Swing8.jpg

This shows an inch of movement early, then starting to re-center during the backswing. Even the right image is before P4.

This shows my pelvis trace from above on swing 9: go right, hang out there, and then go left during the end of the backswing. VERY linear. I'm apparently pretty good at this.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

    • Brutal! Get well soon, Vishal. Good to hear it's feeling strong and stable.
    • Could have been but not for sure. Felt a slight knee 'click' during a ski run down the slope in late December but didn't think much of it at that time. Didn't feel right for a few weeks so went to the doctor, got an MRI in late Jan, which revealed the damage. Seems like a cocktail of ligament/cartilage possible long term degeneration and some new tears. Throw in some tibial over-calcification for garnish. Interestingly there was never much pain/swelling, etc for anything catastrophic. Just didn't feel 100% stable with some bone clicking doing couple of mundane things.  I'm feeling pretty strong and stable now but docs order to not test the knee for a while while I'm doing some PT. Have some major travel coming up in March so will get another MRI in April to reassess further treatment if required. In the least have some interesting times ahead of me. 
    • Dang! You didn't share that info. Soccer?
    • Checking in. Haven't posted in a while since haven't done much this year and not sure I will for a while. Nursing partially torn ACL and meniscus on the left knee since late December and trying my best to avoid surgery for now. May not be any golf for me for a bit. Of course, I did pick a good time to get benched.
