Nah. How about… In other words, you're closer to having this back to where it was last week than you likely think. I would expect you can clean this up r

It's all good, I was just giving y'all something to talk about. I did get to watch Erik play soccer though, very nice shorts I must say. Just got back from dinner, going to start my lessons at 8 tomorrow.

Jeez, I thought for a moment you'd be swinging true to your username.

LOL. Nice catch! I didn't think of that. :-P Well, 7am, time to make the donuts.

Sorry guys, forgot my camera so no video from today. Erik has some so I'll post it when I get home.

Working on downswing pieces to "explode" more and extend upwards with legs, hips and chest. Need to trust my other pieces now and just forget about them and work on this now. It is nice to have a new priority though, definitely feels like solid progress.

Learning Aimpoint was a huge bonus, need lots of practice but it's pretty damn easy to do, just need to get faster with it. Aimpoint express is a great option but I think I liked the Mid-Point stuff better.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Glad you got some work in with a good instructor. Keep getting better!

Yeah, Erik ( @iacas ) and Dave are phenomenal teachers. Just great communicators that get you to the "understanding" part very quickly. They identified my issue right away and came up with pieces I need to work on to fix it.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

That's the best isn't it? And doesn't the in-person experience beat the shit out of the online experience? :-D At least, it does for me anyway.

But yea, my first lesson with James, I went into it thinking "we're gonna work on this, this, and this probably." But instead, I had a new priority piece! James saw the happy look on my face and mockingly yelled out "yaaay, new material!" and I said, "hell yea!!"

Good times.

That's great, EJ. Great to read.

Re: your forearms.... Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I had that happen to me too after my first real clinic (S&T;) in 2011. I ignored it and developed a wicked case of tendonitis that lasted a very long time... my only suggestion is to perhaps ice the forearms, even if they're only sore, for 20 minutes to just help accelerate their re-build, when you get home. Also, I'd try to ergonomically use your keyboard for a week or so, just to prevent any kind of awkward wrist flexion you may use when typing.

I'm just being cautious here and helping you possibly avoid the 1 or 2% chance of this. Just be a bit cautious when you get home over the next week or so. It could potentially save you several weeks or months of annoyance.

Thanks @JetFan1983 It's all good this morning, just a good workout after weeks of not swinging. They were fine this morning and nothing in the elbows so it's all good. I'm just a *****. :-P

It's already 2:42 am, oh wait that's KSA time... Fine I'll wait! But it better be good!!!! Hahaha

I expect he'll say hi to his family and go to bed.

He did lots of good work, and we now know definitively that the lack of a FO view was important. :) Fortunately it's now spring.

Nearly.

Sorry for the wait guys. My Mac book crashed and I'm waiting for the applebots at the Mac store to heal it. In the meantime here's a picture of me with one of our old friends.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DaHolla ·

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Bo the Golfer's Golf Journey

      By Bo the Golfer ·

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
