Don't know, but I'm quite envious of that red line.  Is this a full speed swing?

Yes. Swing video is here http://thesandtrap.com/t/54175/my-swing-ernest-jones/414#post_947056

Screen capture from the second swing but my A5 is starting to look like this pretty consistently. :dance:

It's nice to have a single digit covet anything from my swing! There's still hope for me!

There's always hope, my friend. That's something I constantly have to remind myself :-)

That's the beauty of golf... they can't get that from you. Haven't you ever felt that way about golf? :-P

Well, I try to stay in monkey mode is much as possible, so it means all I'm really looking at in your swing is what I'm working on.  So all I see is a pitchier and lower right elbow, and a shallower angle on the way down with the shaft pointing outside the ball.  So, yeah, it is in my nature I suppose ...

Respect for using no smilies or emoticons in this post. Makes it that much creepier. :-D

Actually, I bet you Dr.Lector would be a great golf instructor if given the opportunity.... can't imagine what he'd say my priority piece was.

Hmmm, that's a good question.  I don't know what he'd say either.  I think I know what Buffalo Bill would say though:

"It places the weight forward at impact."

"OK, mister, just show me how"

"It places the weight forward at impact."

"OK, don't I need a club to practice with?"

"PUT THE ****ING WEIIIIIIIIGHT FORWARD AT IIIIIIIIIIMPACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Maybe Erik and Mike should try that sometime.

I'm just going to put this out there.

I think you should drive down some Saturday morning, work with Dave and I, spend the night across the street, work with us a little bit in the morning, and drive back on a Sunday.

I think some time in March should be good.

You will benefit from a little hands on experience. The process will actually be pretty quick since you already have a good background.

EJ you definitely should do this.  Scratch that, you need to do this buddy.  I'll fire up the weed whacker...;)

It's official! :dance:

Heading down to Erie next month for in-person lessons with @iacas and @david_wedzik .

Equal parts Super-Stoked and nervous as hell! :~(

Lotta tough love comin' my way, hope I don't get a concussion...

I think this will really get me over the hump, it's obviously not going to transform me into a single digit player over night but I think it will really accelerate my process. I really like Evolvr but I think it's clear that I need some hands on as I have NEVER taken a golf lesson in my life aside from Evolvr vids. I also think I'll get a LOT more out of Evolvr once David and Erik have had a chance to straighten me out a bit.

Ernest is a Happy Camper.

:beer:

Now it's off to work to pretend I give a shit! :-P

Awesome EJ!  I am super excited for you, and I agree that you need some hands(literally, they will probably be grabbing your ass and stuff ;-) ) teaching.  In all seriousness, there is nobody around here that I want to see make the improvements more than you.  You have been working so hard for it and they will do a great job of helping you find the feels needed to improve.  Don't be nervous, they are two of the greatest guys to work with.  Erik is a big teddy bear in real life, give him hugs. lots of hugs. :) Wish I could make the trip out there every year.  Have fun!

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
