Here's a few days of stuff. First, swing length plus maintaining the cupping in the left wrist a little (it feels like my right wrist stays pretty flat): Then, the same thing as a

Just wanted to go through my round of 69 at Whispering Woods to highlight a few things. It was from the blue tees (6500 yards) where we'd held the TST outing a few days prior. Let's take a look at eac

I'd lost the feels so I went back to exaggerate. These aren't even exaggerations, but they're good. Not worried at all about the downswing on these, and I'm under-turning, too. I grouped the ball

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.

03_laterals.jpg

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.

      Day 67: did a stack session. Also did some slow swing work during rest breaks - down and then turn.

      Day 31, 1/31.  I was away most of yesterday (pretty much after my morning practice) and today until a few minutes ago, but I brought with me a section of pipe I bought over the summer, initially to practice grip.  I was able to use this to get to positions (and, in particular, to see where the grip was at the top of my backswing, related to what I've been working on).

      Day 13 (31 Jan. 26) - Due to the nice snow storm, opted to do mirror work focused on  the trail knee shift to load weight onto ball and heel of trail foot going from P3 thru P5.
