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.

I know that guy...the one on the right!

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 odd in some ways because Jason's FO view was something we hadn't seen in months, yet that's where the clues were.

As a 20-ish handicapper, Jason will be better off early extending a bit (he probably won't early extend - but he actually compresses down currently) and getting his left shoulder kicking up and left harder (via his hips) will help the DSS stay inside his hands slightly. He can show you videos where the sweetspot passes six inches inside his hands, or more, because he rips the left shoulder up more (and sooner) in his downswing.

It's a "swing flaw" for a five handicapper, but we'll worry about that when Jason's a five… if you know what I mean.

P.S. So what I mean by "odd" is that the FO view shows us some things to fix in the DL view. Plus, you can notice the back ball position and some other stuff as well, especially given his pattern of shots to the right, but mainly it's interesting how the FO sheds light on the DL view.

P.P.S. Shoulders actually steepened from 4-5.

WOW, thats substantial progress in just 2 days! Good job! Looking forward to seeing you consolidate on that good work over the next few weeks and months :-)

It seems like a few days in that magical studio in Erie and people can change the picture more significantly than in the entire past year.

I hope you're right, pretty sick of being a 20+.

I still haven't had much luck drawing the ball, my standard flight is a push which I have to embrace as it is a key part of my progression to a better swing. If I can figure out how to keep it in the fairway with my push until I slowly work on getting it to curve back, I'll be in business. Plan will be to stand on the right side of every tee box and aim for safe area on the left (just in case it decides to end up there) and then go find it and do it again. :-P Gonna be a least another month before I get to hit a course.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I am more a fan of teeing up on the left side of the box. Then just aim straight to the center of the fairway. If you push it you should be in the right center to right edge of the fairway. If you hit a push draw, you should be near the center. If you pull it slighly, you would be on the left side. I am not sure I am a fan of teeing up right and aiming left. the only problem would be if you end up pull it, then its LEFT!!!

For me, I always want to guard against the left. For me its hard to really hit a HUGE push. So I rather play towards the right than the left. If I end up pulling it, its usually a slight pull cut, so that ends up ok.

Yeah, really. You've got a great looking swing for a 20.

We expect monthly updates to that handicap, should be dropping like a brick :dance:

Also, maybe I should bring up again that you can take and export screenshot directly in Analyzr, with notes attached? You can also get rid of the degree number by holding down Command while you draw the line.

I can hit epic ones! :-$ I have to be really careful because Erik said to make sure I don't do anything to reduce the push if it's at the expense of the path. I have to be OK with a push or I'll regress (and probably lose my Stupid Monkey badge too). So, with that in mind, I think it'll be right side of the tee box for a while.

Oh yeah :doh: I forgot about that. I left the degrees in because I wanted to see the axis tilt in numbers.

I can look at this all day, and probably will. :-)

Thank you @iacas and @david_wedzik , you guys are the bee's knees!

Are you sure you're not lying about that 6.7 cap?  I'm pretty sure pushing it, straight or with a baby fade, two fairways over is the easiest shot in golf.  If that's hard to hit...

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.

      By WillieT ·

      Day 16 (17 May 24) - Plans to play a local course with a good friend fell through, got with my son to play Minnesott.  Turned out to be a great day of golf - as we were playing behind the Friday Men's group, pace was steady but not rushed or dreadfully slow.  Had a solid day of ball striking - managing 11 of 14 fairways hit, 8 GIR and 5 nGIR, 27 putts (including a hole out chip in from just off the green to save par with the 56deg wedge).  Shot a new personal best of 76 (39 front / 37 back) from the gold tees (just over 5,500 yds).   Was a good day and my son had a decent day for him as well with an 88.
