This is oh so very off topic, but when I was in high school I had to attend a pahhhks depahhhtment meeting for a project. It went roughly like this: [VIDEO]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbK4cL3QSc0[/VIDEO] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbK4cL3QSc0 (It's not letting me embed. So that's delightful.)

The weight shifts during the swing so before impact the weight is on the trailing side.

past impact the weight has shifted to the left side.

Moving the hips laterally isnt enough.

Tour pro´s also hit it short due to them dont utilize weight shift effectively as they loose accuracy if they do so.

This one generated a whole string of "What??" replies...

I happen to be quite familiar with that beverage. Maybe I'll knock a few back tonight and see if it becomes any clearer.

Oh boy, he starts off saying Erik doesn't know what he is teaching or talking about. Yikes.

And then a bunch of drivel about SnT makes you hit short and spray the ball, and all tour pros hit it short or some such nonesense...

I was talking with a friend about this a few days ago after he typed "looser" instead of loser.

My theory is that, phonetically, "looser" looks to the eye how the word "loser" sounds.  "Loser" has the sound of two "o"s back to back.  Dictionary.com agrees:

Quote:

los·er

[ loo -zer ]

The "o" in loss and lost sound different from lose and loser.  You rarely see the former two misspelled, whereas the former often are.  Loss and lost, if misspelled, are either exchanged for one another or sometimes misspelled as "lossed."

Yup. That was the straw ... but I seem to see it on here all the time.

(By the way, I think you wrote former twice a couple of posts up where you meant to say latter one of those times. ;)  Or is it ladder?)

LOL ... I'm not the only one who noticed ... http://thesandtrap.com/t/65791/lose-and-loose-please-stop-spelling-lose-loose-please-please/0_30

We tend to try to fix those, but if my only reaction to the OP is "whaaaaa???" I might be slightly less likely to spend the time. Then the misspelling just sets the tone for what's coming up, so you get a bit of a warning. :-p

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      Thanks! It actually briefly dropped to 5.8 at some point in July, but it felt like it was too rich for my blood every moment of the whole two weeks I held the 'level' for me to sustain it. The term 'impostor syndrome' comes to mind.. :-)) I have certainly done better than I have in the previous years to stay the course in how and what I have practiced but yes, it's a high probability that I'm leaving a lot on the table.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Dang... in the realm of things that probably don't matter all that much, golf slumps are the worst. Yes definitely consult a pro ASAP. Get back to hitting it solid again. Hitting the sweet spot solves a lot of problems. For me it's always the latter. My confidence grows as I hit more and more solid shots, which are the result of continuing to improve my swing thru better concepts, better practice, etc.  Yea, this for sure. And also, without a professional there to let you know you "did it better this time" it can be unnecessarily frustrating and confounding working alone. It's not that you can't work alone; clearly, you can. But during rough patches, it's always smart to consult professionals. Lessons are an amazing place to take new concepts and turn them into feels that you are confident will work. It's still really cool you consider this your best ever season. Congrats on hitting 7.8 this year!
