I realized when I was posting these that I was experimenting around with different drawing methods.. and that is why my stance is slightly closed.

My typical misses and errors are coming over the top, and occasionally hitting a thin ball (although hardly ever with driver/woods).

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks.


So in essence, I'm not the right plane to "swing around my head/spine"? I'll experiment around with that next time at the range. Thanks for sharing the video!

Is there anything I can do to make my swing plane on the downswing closer to what it was on the takeaway? I'm also not quite sure if I'm coming too far inside and then coming back on the correct plane, or coming back on the correct plane and coming back slightly over the top. I've been trying to come on a more inside plane to produce a draw/straighter shot in addition to adding more power. It's worked rather well so far.

Yeah, shoulders get too level on the backswing, arms lift and get a little long.  Seems like the shaft on the backswing is more shallow than on the downswing.  To get the draw and get your downswing better make sure your hips are pushing forward, "crushing" the can with your left foot.

    • Day 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.
    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
