Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. -
_sigh_ so close to red text. Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026. At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron. -
Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit. Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. -
I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean. I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
