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

It's uploading.

Erik, thanks for uploading this video.  Question I have... When you go from A5 to A6... How do you keep your head centered - and not moving trail side (behind the ball)?  Like in this image....

Do you have a Key #1 drill - which helps you bank the right foot - but prevents the head from shifting / tilting too far right?

No... I've never really had a problem with it. I just don't do it.

Now that this site has ingrained the idea of slow and purposeful practice I really can't go there because I would likely only hit a bucket at most. Almost as expensive as playing golf. But I'm getting a lot better and a lot faster, I can only imagine how awesome it would be if there were any decent instructors around here.

If three buckets an hour was helpful at 27 dollars, but one bucket an hour helps more, isn't 27 dollars a better deal? Why does the number of balls matter if it helps more? :)

Perhaps I'm only jealous because I have no way to practice with real balls.

Don't they have the heated driving bays over at Purdue? Or are those only for the teams?

25 dollars for 70 balls is far too expensive for me. So yes it is possible, but there's no way I can do it and make rent :)

Kiddo, cbrian, and I snuck out for a quick round at a little semi-executive-style course yesterday.

This hole is 135 or so for her. She put it on in two easily - very muddy, unmowed conditions were not favorable for roll.

Wow. I am impressed, getting it over the water no problem like that

I wish I could do that consistently. Even at 100 yards my 7 iron would be ok 9 times out of 10, but chances are my driver would go higher than it does far, and then 50 yards right dropping in the water.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
