Hey guys how is it going? I'm having A TON of trouble keeping my right foot down in my downswing. If you guys could give me a tip on how to keep that foot down... Also if you see anything else in my swing. Im in pretty good positions at the the top and going to it. Just after that it's a disaster. Thanks!!!! I really appreciate it guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKNYQuLCNbI&list;=UUnI6iZxuhRLx2JrHHkfCQxA&index;=2&feature;=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzkshz5nA00&list;=UUnI6iZxuhRLx2JrHHkfCQxA&index;=1&feature;=plcp

Hi Nick, right heel is rising due to the left leg straightening too soon, hips are just rotating without the forward movement.

Thank you so much sir!  I tried hitting like that yesterday a few balls....  I feel like I have to "lift up" (feeling) in order to straighten that left leg at the finish.

thats interesting...... I did notice a higher ball flight as well.  Thank you.  Do YOU believe in straightening the left leg at the finish?  I feel like my finish looks very flat and not pretty at all.

Yes good to hear you're hitting it higher.  Part of the catapult process.  I like the term extending better than straightening, but whatever you want to call it.    Not sure what you mean by flat, flat shoulders?

    • Day 49 - 2024-11-18 Light day of HackMotion work in the basement with my putting. Suffice to say my feels very closely align with what is measured.
    • Day 200 (18 Nov 24) - Broke out the MacGregor blades to do some “vintage” club pitches and chips.  Focus was on alignment and where I am looking in relation to the ball…have been working on finding a focal point about 3-6 inches ahead of the ball (toward the target) and not staring at the ball.  Getting very predictable strikes.  Overall it was a fun drill session and will serve as a warmup to tomorrow’s planned front 9 walk with these irons and persimmon woods and of course a “new” putter - a Acushnet Bullseye…
    • TV ratings  continue to drop. Stop the endless wiggles and waggles.
    • I believe that losing a tour card is too extreme but definitely agree that more needs to be done to prevent slow play.
    • Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.
