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.


Geez Steve.  You wore the same clothes for a whole year?? :-O

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