Just curious if anyone has ever done this. While hitting balls tonight and practicing Erik's hit and stop drill I became frustrated and decided to swing from the right side. Two things I noticed immediately, 1. The set-up had my hands slightly in front of the ball with a nice angle in the shaft and 2. I could do the hit and stop drill perfect, it just felt like I was back-handing the ball every time. Nice divots starting at the ball and keeping the flying wedge seemed fairly simple. I'm just curious why standing on the other side of the ball changes the appearance of the set-up so much from my Point of View. Does it have more to do with dominant eyes or is that just an old wives tale...

Yes... I'm just curious how much a dominate eye plays a part in the golf swing if any at all.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.

      Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).

      Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.
