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.

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.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
