Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver. I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's). So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up. Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75. Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes. I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need. I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.) Will give you a report when I get back. Retired Old Man, Terry -
You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing. -
Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground. Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings. -
Current state of the program. I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!), to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball. So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.
