I know this may be asking a lot, but can someone (ahem, Mike or Erik) put together some links in this thread (or in a sticky) on the procedures or path (from a foundation up) to follow for the components of the swing. What I mean is there is a wealth of information on here for address, backswing, downswing, secondary axis tilt, hip slide, follow through etc.. but it's in bits and pieces in several threads. The reason for this request is to get notion of what needs to happen when, and what parts we can use to practice without practicing the wrong things at the wrong time.


What I am asking for is a post of links, maybe grouped by section, of the components of the swing so one may follow a path and work on getting down the steps to be able to practice the next step.

I am not asking for a novel, but just some links to posts within this forum.

Something like this

Address:

Post Link 1

Post Link 2

Backswing:

Post Link 1

Post Link 2

Downswing:

Post link 1

Etc...

This way it would be easier for someone to work in order instead of willie nillie...

Is this something that can be done, or is it asking too much. I know the response might be "well everyone is different and ...", but with the posts on this site and if they were organized in an order so someone can say, Wow, I really need to work on the backswing before my hips slide and second axis tilt..

Does this make sense?

I suggest you consider the 5 Simple Keys and ask yourself which of those is the priority. They typically go in order: 1-5. Though there are exceptions when, say, 4 might be more important than 1 or something.

Ok, I guess I got it. I don't see how that forces everyone into the same exact swing since the information would be the same, whether you catagorized them or I searched for them, it would just lead me to the same posts.

No worries, I won't ask again. i will work on the 5 keys. thanks.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
