Sorry. No comments on your swing per se, but I had to post this:

LOL ... that is hilarious!!  (I like the subtle things ... like My Tall Skinny Greek Wedding )

Anyways ... I blame all of you guys for not giving me an intervention a long time ago.  And also, protosports for allowing me to do it wrong. :beer:

Speaking of protosports ... bummer about the new mount.  I got an email that their kickstarter didn't make it to their goal.

LOL ... thanks for the clarification, cuz I wasn't sure.  Although, don't be surprised if my next Evolvr submission includes a swing where I have my left foot 10" off the ground at A4!!  Looks like a solid move to me!  (Just noticed he's playing cross handed too)

(I improved upon my signature lines that you changed, BTW ;))

P.S.  Fred isn't any better ...

At least Freds key #1 looks a little better than Barney's.

Holy shit that was funny!

Here's a video from today of me working on this.  I'd be able to see any differences a little better face on but there was a dude there today, so no dice.  (I also forgot to turn the phone sideways again, whoops)

Overall, I hit the ball quite well today.

Love it, looking great.  Great way to practice, two drills swings, then one full swing.

@Golfingdad When practicing, from 6-8 feel your pelvis change to posterior tilt.  "hips tucking, glutes squeezing"

Thanks Stephan!! Great explanation. It's funny because after I filmed my last video I watched your last lesson again ... I had forgotten the part about squeezing or flexing the glutes. So last night in my living room I was doing the drill while remembering that last part. It felt different (good different I think). I'm excited to film my next session and see how it looks. Thanks again!!!

@Golfingdad

Any thoughts you'd like to share about your work on flattening the shaft on the downswing? @Abu3baid and I seem to be working on similar feels, I'm happy with my progress and the feels that are getting me there but it would be interesting to know what's working for you.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
