Swing looks good bud. Glad to see you back grinding. How's the wrist feeling? We gotta get out when you get back from your trip.

Still working in overtaking rates.  My first attempt at a new priority piece in getting closer to the intended result.  A fairly significant grip change(weaker) and trying to get more toe down at the top.  Working on a better inline impact.  That is about all I have time so say about it right now.

Your last sentence made me think of Forrest Gump ... and then at the beginning of your video, a white "feather" goes floating right though.  Ha!! :beer:

Looking good, btw!

Haha.  I tried to edit it so the obvious mistake was not in there anymore, but I got distracted and ran out of time to be able to do so.  :-D

No you're not. You're working on not having the club swinging 6° out with the longer clubs, part of the cause of that being the grip and the clubface being closed throughout the backswing and downswing. You haven't really been working on overtaking rates for… well, ever, really. They're a byproduct.

And that too. And that's about all you should have to say. That's what you're doing… and keep it simple. :-)

Worked over 12 hours today and in the rush of everything it appears I stated a few things poorly and lost the ability to write properly as well.   :-)    Keeping it simple.

This is a swing from a couple weeks ago now.  Just have not had time to update the thread much at all.  Found a way to get the toe down at 4.  It has pretty much eliminated hitting any hooks for me.  I am working now on finding something between this(getting some huge fades) and my old motion where I took the club in maybe too much and swung out too much with the face more shut.  This is all a backswing feel really.  In the DS I am still just basically working on one feel to get to a better inline impact.  I need to get some FO video soon.

Love the motion Mr. Moore. ;-) Once you get this dialed in your going to be putting up some good scores. It was nice to get a round in with you bud keep grinding.

Thanks bud, yeah I think it will get there.  Did some work at the range and one of the feels that I have to work on in the DS should eventually help me tighten those fades up a bit.

I was impressed with the driver considering you've only hit a handful on the course since the 90's :banana: well maybe 2000's

Some things I like and some things I don't but overall inline is much better.  Hitting 13/14 fairways with this swing Monday was a personal best.

Been struggling a bit this year on my pitch shots.  Working on few things hear.  Gripping the club lower, left leg straighter and trying to achieve less arm movement going back.

    • Woof. Not good. 8:40 to 8:50, blah. I know the grip is turned a bit to the left in that part of the video (face is closed a bit), but… no. Not that.
    • Eh. You're tricking yourself. You can still miss right or left, and what you've created is a situation where you HAVE to miss (but the right amount) to make the putt. That's not for me.
    • I can see a point in this.  If you play a straigth 3 footer with a square face aiming at the hole, you can miss both ways, with a close face or an open one. If you aim rigth an close the face at impact (like tiger used to do), physically you can still miss left or rigth but mentally you are only missing left (closed face) and having only 1 miss can give you a boost in confidence. I putt this way on fade putts and aim left and open the face on draw putts, never liked the uncerteinty of putting square to the target.  I apply something like this on approach shots, only use low or high shots and for middle shots I use a low shot with more loft ot a high shot with less loft. This shots are always what they meat low or high, a middle one can go a little towards the high and the low depending on the AoA of each shot making it mentally a little more uncertain what is going to be.  
    • Yeah, I'm not sure if he is genuine or not either but that's not why I'm giving him props.
