Read 'the biggest secret? SLIDE Your Hips' thread recently and went to the range today.  I've got lots more reading to do but would appreciate advice.  Thanks for any comments.

My thoughts are that I need to work on my back swing.  It seems like I slide back and move my head too much.

When you're turning your shoulders to get the club into your back swing try and keep your head steady. Just because your shoulders are turning doesn't mean your head has to.

It looks like you are bringing the club back way inside to where its pointing behind you

Played 9 monday.  Didn't make good contact.  I was too focused on keeping my head still but not really knowing how it should feel.  Played 9 Tuesday and stopped focusing on my head.  Made sure I got weight forward.  Made better contact.  I don't think I'll try to make changes on the course.  I'll go to range on weekends and maybe one other day each week to work on my swing then just try to reinforce those changes on the course.

Got the stack and tilt DVDs.  Recorded myself in the back yard.  Not worth posting.  I'm still bringing club back poorly (pointing towards right of target at top of backswing) so I'm trying to get the feel in my hands/wrists (and not even swing back that far).  Not sure that I'm tilting correctly.  It feels pretty awkward so far.  I plan to go to the range tomorrow so I can hit some balls.  I will post another video.

I like S&T so far just because they explain why they do everything.  I play table tennis so I have a good grasp of spinning the ball but was always confused because I always read "swing path = ball path, face = spin" but didn't really question it.  I'm happy to know I did actually know what was going on and being able to make decisions for myself on the course will be huge (I expect).

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
