My first one will just be of my sand wedge approach.  I would upload some more, but the ones I got were hard to see because the wind was blowing so freaking hard out there that no matter what I did, the camera wouldn't stay still.

Anyways, I'm posting this one because I see two things in it that really make me nervous.  You won't be able to tell until the slow-mo part of it, but it's definitely noticeable.  I got the desired result on this shot (if you watch you can see the ball land and roll on the front of the "green").  But this is my typical sand wedge shot from about 30-40 yards.

The two things:

1. My initial takeaway is all sorts of messed up.  It looks like I'm pushing the club to the side and back.  Is this something I should concentrate on immediately or could I survive without spending too much time on in?

2. Pause it at the 20 second mark and you'll see that there is something going on with my wrists....it's weird. Anyone have any idea?

I'm just curious because these are things I don't do with my irons and I've never noticed them before....

And again, sorry for the short video, but as you can see it was windy as anything out there, and there was no way in heck I was gonna be able to set up the camera for a front view.  I'll get it next time.

I'll try to get my driver, 4 iron, and 7 iron up within the next few weeks.  Thanks in advance for the help.

Looks like your a pretty tall guy...  I would copy the setup posture, and positions of this swing:

Setup:  less knee flex, straighter back, weight on the balls of your feet.  Also watch this video:

Post a full swing video... (make sure it's square to your foot line)

    • Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…
    • Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.
    • Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!
    • Day 8 - 2025-12-27 45 minutes of short game work at local muni, mostly putting work. Trying to get lots of reps in with consistent quality tempo.
    • I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
