Latest swing sequence. I continue to make progress however small it is. Extension still eludes me, but pivot is better.

Your swing is looking great - It look like you generate a lot of lag on the downswing and your extension is definitely getting better.

I have nightmares about this swing.  Looking pretty solid to my un-educated eyes!:beer:

Thank you. 2+ years of working on something it is nice to hear it is at least a hog's breath better.

It is funny you mention lag. I have been trying to actively take it out, and in doing so I have actually gotten more. The pros like @mvmac always say it is a reaction to other things, I guess they know what they are talking about.

This thread is old and as in need of some reviving. So here I am to do so. 

 

I am working on trying to increase the amount of rotation before impact. My hips have been relatively square to slightly open and I am trying to improve that. The progress is slow, but it is getting there.

Any interest in trading swings? I'm really jealous of how you deliver the club from the inside. Wish I could do that more consistently.

I have a life update to post here, not sure this is the best place but seems decent enough. I haven't posting as much as in the past. Mainly because my old job blocked me from pursuing the sight during my lunch hour. 😀 But in the last few months our family has moved from the Pacific Northwest down to the San Diego area. We are in @mvmac's old neighborhood in Rancho Bernardo. I am hoping the increased golf season will allow me to play a bit more than I have in the past few months. My daughter is a pretty serious soccer player so our weekends are driving around to her game.

Now that I am down here I plan on playing a bit more and start getting to the range for recording sessions.

Ah, didn't know you moved. You'll want to update your location in the profile…

Congrats?

Good suggestion on the profile update. And yes, I had wanted to get to a place where I could play year round golf.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
