Great looking backswings @nevets88!

Thanks. I think if there's one thing I learned in 2014, it's figuring out how to get the club better on plane for the backswing from the dtl view and if it goes off track, I can get it back relatively quickly. Key #1, head forward and back-ish on the fo view for backswing , but I guess that's probably something to clean up later if that's possible/priority.

Don't think about it, step up and swing, point & click, point & shoot, on the course, swing.

LOL, same underwear too @boogielicious :-O .  No, but really, I like to keep things simple. And yeah, I have a lot of black sweaters, but I am no Steve Jobs. Unfortunately.

Trying to get rid of some of my old man finish. BS too long, but getting that right hip a tad more up and forward. Just a nudge I think.

More gooder. Think "explosive" too.

Left wrist better? Can't tell (FO - need DL view for that of course).

Could be better. Don't let it cup so much, keep feeling of a little arch in transition and entire downswing.

Trying to get hips more active, forward and up, wrist a little more bowed for longer, modicum of success?

Getting hips more active > not shallowing shaft from A4, steep from top here. Need to blend it all together?

Face very closed. Not worry - clean up later?

Is this like a set up for what is to come, so if you don't play well the next time out you can say that you didn't activate your hips enough? :)

Lack of practice, perhaps reason for losing a little of the shallowing move from A4? Steep. Trying for more wrist bow and hip action seems to steepen shaft on DS. Hips, shoulders tad more closed @ impact compared to early Dec? Feel like being used more than before. Need to get the shallowing back.

Ran into the YouTube didn't play all frames from 120 fps iPhone video problem. Last time uploaded 120 fps to YT, all frames played. Alternate vid editor @ 25% speed, stutters and ghosts. No good. Upgrade iMovie.

Hips up and forward, lay down club a little earlier (feels like before end of BS), shorter BS, stand taller. Thinking lay down shaft, go hips.

Hips forward better, up, not so much. It's like a corset is holding back hips and midsection. Will try more hip up next time. Windy day.

Hip forward and up. Thinking revolve around L hip. Posture and shorter BS as per @iacas . Club layoff as per @iacas and Preston.

Would exaggerating getting your hips more forward in a drill at A5-6 help the finish?  I am working on a similar thing, slide hips from A4 to 5, rotate right hip from A5 - 8.  Stephan wants to see my knees closing faster and the slide/rotation does that.

Yeah, I think I can get my hips a little more forward and rotate earlier and up? Also, I'm the opposite of stupid monkey. I try to be stupid, but I micro manage my swing. Can't. Stop. Being. Type A. :-) I don't ever expect to get the monkey badge, as much as I try. :-( Short of a lobotomy. Or hypnosis. :-)

To be clear, @nevets88 , those look good and you can continue to improve that, but nothing about that should stop you from playing well right now, either. :)

    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
