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 durin

Here is some video from my last range session. I start with 3/4 swings then swing about 60% then move to full speed. I am working on @mvmac suggestions of flattening the shaft between A4 and A5

Still struggling with letting my head move backwards.

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.

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.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
