Gah!

I was always pretty good at keeping my head still, no sway.

see here from last August.  

   

Then, all winter long I've been working to increase my shoulder turn.   I got really good at that, but in doing so, I stopped loading my back leg and, thus, was losing power.  

Now my focus has shifted to big turn and loading my back leg.   had it down well in lesson.   then went to the range and worked on in with no one watching.    went back to next lesson and guess what?   SWAY!   

damn game!  every time you fix something, something new pops up!   now working to delete whatever sway I've managed to teach myself.  getting closer, though..

Good video on the basics for what is happening with the lateral bends and forward bend on the backswing/downswing/followthrough. I like how they use the rib cage as a reference, think it's better than measuring the shoulders. One thing that stood out to me was that the golfer didn't regain his A1 forward bend until A 5.7-ish, I thought it might happen a bit sooner.

    • Day 4 (13 Mar 25) - Easy session today, some work with the 6&7 irons - full swings into the net, followed but bump and runs.  Toss in some pitch work with the Pw with the grandson. 
    • Day 34: 3/13/25 Putting through 50 mm gates. Almost a perfect session.
    • Hands go out and roll too much, which is why the backswing has trouble staying short. The short swing is too long. Then, you know what to do from there. Throw it.
    • Day 2 March 13th, 2025 Hit a small bucket checking stuff on video. Mostly back to controlling swing length and right elbow. 
    • Video 1 of 2025 Lower body is better. Right knee kicks out less. Left knee straightens better. I don’t have that knee bounce post impact. Backswing and downswing with the arms, needs a bit of work. Nice OTT move there. Video 2 of 2025 - hey I can keep it short.  back to trying to keep the swing shorter and control the right elbow. Lots of half backswing feel and very straight arms. Also trying to start the downswing sooner so the swing doesn’t go on forever with the turn. Got to limit it to 90 degrees shoulder and 45 degrees hips.
