Thanks for sharing this.  I appreciate it.  Yeah the "out" feeling feels really weird right now.  I was not sure if I should be feeling that, so I am glad you mentioned it.  Past A3 I think I will still fight a tendency to get too deep with the hands/club, but hopefully all this will help make it less severe.  I have noticed as well that I can go out and up but still lay the club down too flat, so I have to keep an eye on that.  I will be working on it a lot into A2 and A3 to really work in the feel for this.  Thanks!

Yea, I know that problem :whistle:

For me it was just pounding those drills till the move didn't feel HORRIBLE!!! Good Luck!!!

It has been a long time coming but I made my first real swings today in a very long time.  I only hit about 30 balls, but it felt great.  The wrist has some very slight soreness but overall it felt ve

Thanks, yeah I am hoping it is the last really "big" change I need to make for a while.

About as close as I have come to an eagle on a par 4 this morning. Even a blind acorn finds a squirrel once in a while.

Oh yeah!  I wanted to try and exaggerate it as much as I could at first to really feel the difference.  It probably did not help that I was making the downswings with the basket there.  Now hopefully I can reign it in a bit and find the middle ground with better turning rates going back as it becomes more comfortable.

Yeah I don't think I have checked into "Hotel California" anyway. ;-)

P.S. Not sure what happend to my post above.  Here is the video again even though EJ quoted it.

I'd wager that you're not quite doing what @cbrian is looking for here. I did hear him say "make it goofy" so maybe he's looking for it to be overdone as a quick example, but, in the end… I don't think he wants your hands actually going "up" that way, that's "out" away from you.

More green arrow, to correct the red arrow. Not the black arrow.

Ha.  Looked overdone to me too but I was assuming that he was doing it that way on purpose to make green arrow feel comfortable more quickly, cause at least it's not black arrow?

However, I did think I was supposed to feel some out...I will work on just the "UP".  That makes it way easier. :-D Thanks for the visual @iacas .

Red was my approximation of what you're doing now. Too much in, not enoug

He might have, but you probably overdid it. Your hands shouldn't actually ever really go OUT there.

Okay perfect. I might even need to feel "slight" out just to get the hands moving on the green line instead of the red. I will keep at it though and see what it feels like. My guess is it just feels back and up when I do it correctly.

Sorry if my bringing up the out contributed to this at all.  I mentioned it just because when I started making this shift even swings where my hands were right on the green line it felt like I was doing what you were actually doing in the last video.  But then I was sucking my hands back much worse than you to start...

No it is good information. Thanks for the thoughts!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.

      Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
