Completely got fixated on more hip slide and now Ive lost everything. Could really use some help getting back on track. Lots of pulls.

Eric, take a look at how much you are loading PA #3 from A1-A2 (were using A's now instead of P's).   Pulls are due to the face being aimed to the left due to the excessive rotation you need to try and put the sweet spot on the ball due to overloading PA#3 on the backswing.

This will also help load PA#4 more on the backswing, higher left arm and clean up some of the tilt/extension rate issues.

Thanks for the feedback Mvmac. Like the drill too. I will give it a whirl tomorrow morning. It seems every year I regress in a new area. Guess it keeps me on my toes . Again thanks for the extra set of eyes.

WOW...something that simple changed a few things including extension rate. PA#3 "felt" awful and not loaded but absolutely helped with PA#4. Lowered my ball flight when I thought my AoA was going to be way to steep. Possibly gained a few yards as well. Down side was at A4 face was shut. Felt like I had to lay it down in order to not shank it on a few swings. Cant lie I did have a couple hosel burners....overall went pretty well. I'll get a video up as soon as I can find some time.

At some point I'm gonna have to go over hip slide and secondary axis tilt.

Hey James glad to see your back states side.  The golf swing is a funny thing and regression sucks.  By the way it's your fault I got stuck in this more hipslide fascination or lack there of .

The jumping seems to be part n' parcel with the swing style, so go with it, but it seems a smidgen premature in this video. Not that I know when it should occur, but that's how it looks to my layman's eye.

Better. Little counter-rotation in the wrists from A1 to A3 please.

It's not tied to this style only, but yes, it's way, way too early in that video, and still early (not as much) in the most recent one.

Yeah, the better the backswing gets the less early he'll have to jump because of how he loads the shaft and the compensations he makes to get some decent on the shot

YES...YES...Thats what I was searching for counter rotation. I was really struggling to even get to A3 without overdoing PA#3. I think the counter rotation will hold it off just that much longer. Thanks guys for the help.

Erik do you have a slo mo of your April 1st DTL,FOV swings? Actually that would go for you too MIke?

Eric.

Handle needs to be 5* further forward to add more dorsi flexion of the right wrist at setup.

A1-A2, like the others have said, too much rotation of the forearms and front shoulder, but you MUST make sure the left wrist remains flat. Its dorsi flexing (cupping) much too quickly A1-A3.

Clean it up then get back to us.

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….

      Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
