I wouldn't worry about it much.

The URC is near the top of your sternum. Consider that it is a lot closer to whatever your "swing center" would be if there was one swing center in the golf swing… and if your hips go forward, and your URC stays pretty stable… your head - which is "above" the URC - will go backward a bit.

Right? :)

Really nice @mchepp !

Always before on the left and after on the right.....otherwise you're out of the circle.

Still working on the same thing. I seem to conquer it during some sessions and lose it during other. Just isn't second nature yet. If it is the only thing I think about it can look good. Today I tried to work on increasing my shoulder turn. Interestingly I unknowingly started to lift my left foot on the backswing. Doesn't seem like a big deal so I am not worried about it.

Swing thought today was try and jump out of my shoes to get extension from A4.

Working on the same thing. I am trying so hard to get extension you can see me even get the foot off the ground. It is getting closer.

I like some of the stuff you are doing. How are you hitting it? Not sure if you're working with an instructor but I'll share my thoughts anyway ;-)


Couple things I'd like to see.

- Narrow the stance slightly.

- "Bend" the left hip down more on the backswing. Hips are drifting right, head is raising and the inside of the right foot is rolling back. Basically I'd like to get the pressure in the feet get a bit more balanced in order for you to get the weight forward without tipping the head and for you to push off the ground more efficiently.

You can still feel like you make a big shoulder turn and I'm fine with the left heel raising but getting that left hip to bend down more as you pivot from 1-4 is going to line things up better for the downswing.

So, for this fall and early part of the winter I have been working on my putting stroke. So far the results are mixed. I started out bringing the putter WAY outside the line and then readjusting by opening the face just before impact. I have been working on trying to create an arc towards the inside on the backswing and the results on video have been looking better. On the course I am thinking too much causing my speed to be WAY off. Still working on taking the practice to the course.

 

I also let my head start watching the ball right away which I am trying to stop also.

 Looks a lot better. Time to start looking at this?

In sort of a regression pattern now. The lower body is looking quite awful. I am still hitting it pretty well, but the lower body action needs much more work.

Latest swing sequence. Ball striking has been pretty good. I still struggle in the same area with respect to extension so I will keep working at it.

    • Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

    • I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
