Hands in clubhead out post impact as per instructor. Now that I look at past videos, that clubhead is going left post impact way too quickly.

Signed up for the one year practice package at the PGA Superstore. It's a little bit of a hassle every time you go in they have to tag your clubs and take your head cover. Plus having problems with the reservation website. Can definitely see the closer to Christmas, the more of a zoo, but at a fraction of what it costs at Golftec, not a bad deal, wanted to try something different this winter. Haven't tried using its simulators, just my own camera and soon, a Mevo. There's barely enough space to get a clipped face on view and a full down the line view. Will have to see long term how this package plays out.

That'd make me take about three irons tops every time I visited. Ugh.

I'm gonna leave the stickers on, see how that works. Doesn't look like a visit to the course is in the cards anytime soon. :mellow:

You can't just grab a demo from their rack? If you're just working on your swing does it really matter whose club you're hitting?

Yeah, I like sticking with my own clubs. I don't mind the stickers, will probably get used to it quickly.

If there's one complaint I have about the iPhone camera, it's that it needs maybe 2-3 more feet of space compared to my old Casio point and shoot. Doesn't sound like much but in context of golf ranges, helps. I guess I could use a wide angle attachment but distortion.

Same stuff, shallow, motorcycle (more aware of timing of shallow and motorcycle - rates), left hip around and up, also keep chest turning as well, hands in clubhead out, trail wrist was flexing too quickly at A8.

Tried something else, right knee kicking out has been bothering me for a long time, tried more trail foot banking, right hip up and in, right knee to left knee, exaggeration:

Not as exaggerated

Paying a little more attention to bottom half, just keep turning left.

@nevets88 is your weight getting too far back on your heels?

At setup? Not sure, will monitor it next time. Definitely trying to finish more in the lead heel, banked trail foot, knees together post A9.

I have a tendency to lean towards the ball post impact, right knee kicking towards ball.

Focused on face on view, swing looking more dynamic, added more back extension compared to last time from A6 onward.

Dumped the Mevo last few sessions, focused more on movement than numbers.

@nevets88 tell me again why you're still a 20?

Must be short game related. ;-)

Nice work.

Lol, thanks. Frankly, I don't play enough, @billchao can attest to that. :-P Will work on that in the coming season. And yes, the short game suffered because I spend so much time on the long game, but I've addressed that this year more, and will do so even more next year.

And I need to do The Matrix Free... Your... Mind... thing. :-D

I play with quite a few 20+ handicapers and NONE of them look like you at impact.

In fact not many of the guys in the 10-15 range look like that either.

Go play young man, go play.

I definitely will. Looks like that 2018 goal list needs reordering!

He likes to put his approach shots within 8' of the pin and get up to the green only to find out he was aiming at the wrong green ;-)

All jokes aside, his short game and putting weren't as good as his long game the last time we were out.

Seriously! I've been telling you this for a while now. Play more.

And get a new putter :-P

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • 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.
