I was procrastinating and decided to make this video. :)

Also, I think it's really getting to be time for me to get on Twitter ... especially now that I know I can bombard the two of you with questions all of the time.

Thanks!

Honorary 5SK Director of Instruction (for today) Jack Nicklaus has a great little video on Key #1: Steady Head.

For key #1, similar to the coke bottle drill on the first page of this thread, take a box that is about eye width in one dimension ( I used an empty kleenex box) and tape BRIGHT construction paper on the 2 sides that you can't see well if you set it on the ground and stand over it. If your head moves, you will see more color... pretty simple and this way I could see the color change without taking my eye off the ball.

The difference in color is much easier to see than a damn coke bottle. Whose idea was that?

:whistle:

The point was that you can use just about anything. Sometimes I put the "Pro V1x" on a ball there and tell people to try not to see "Titleist" logo on either side of the ball. A bunch of things work. A cut 2x4 is good too, especially if the sides are painted bright colors.

These are absolutely fantastic. I can't say thank you enough. Was trying out some of the drills last night at the range for keeping the grip of my club ahead of the head at impact and they definitely helped.

In order to have the ball curve less, I either open the club more (and get even higher balls) or move the ball a bit back again?

Got it - more extension and the curve gets right. Great video, thanks James (and Joseph Mayo )!

In relation to your hips, shoulders and feet, this would technically be a draw or overdraw and not a push draw, correct?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      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.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
