First swings of 2019. Better Key #1 (usually head goes forward then back, this is as still as I'll ever get, I think letting that forward heel go off the ground a tad helps), controlled length of backswing, changes are just starting to be unconscious, but hands so high still feels weird, still something that looks off post A7, can't put my finger on it, arms too across, not exploding towards target and going up. This was a 80% swing.

I love the sound the hits make in slow motion. Looking good Steve.

Had a lesson, teach put me on the radar. This is probably as good as I’ll hit a 7 iron. Probably can swing a little harder but who knows how out of kilter the sequence will get. I’m old, so this is fine. AoA is pretty high, -4 I think is average from Trackman PGA average. Pretty high too. Must have left the face open. Previous shot was very left, so over compensated. 

Huh, just noticed it was set for 5 iron. I was definitely hitting a 7. Dunno how that effects the numbers if you tell FS 5 when you use 7.

Doing lesson pieces, finish backswing (a little Hideki Matsuyama), soft trail shoulder at 4.  

Off topic. I read Haruki Murakami's books and ran into word spaghetti first wrote Shigeki Murakami, then Hideki Maruyama, then screw it, just go look up the name dang it, good thing director Hayao Miyazaki is different enough. Too many vowels!

Question: I noticed a slight difference in your wrist movement from A3 to A4 from the 1/5 video to the 1/21 video. Looks like in the 1/5 video the wrists stayed relatively square and the clubface was close to parallel with the lead arm.  In the 1/21 video, the wrists move from slightly palmer (just after A3) to square (A4).  Was this an intentional move (or side effect) with your lesson pieces or just a random deviation?

Good pickup, you have sharp eyes. My instructor says I'm one of his students who has a lot of variation in swings, and I'm not surprised he said it, I'm not afraid to change things up, it's actually not a good thing though, I'm not so sure I would want to have myself as a student. One of my previous lessons, probably many, awhile back, was not to have the wrist too cupped at 4, sometimes lose sight of this. Or sometimes the ball is going so right, bowing the lead wrist will definitely make it stop going right. Or sometimes too across the line at 4 and bowing the wrist will calm that down. Another thing was when I was doing the new complete the backswing piece, I was cupping the wrist too much, so I overcompensated. Also the feel of a closed face will encourage rotation I think.

tl;dr - it was totally intentional. Goal is to tone down the variations, get some kind of sameness going in all the swings.

Clubhead still coming in behind ball last 1-2 feet before impact. I think I’d like to see it go more directly to ball. That’s what it looks like with all the good players. This is something I keep in the back of my mind, still working on completing BS and soft trail shoulder.

Because limited time indoors, haven't really been switching up clubs much, first time with a long iron in awhile.

Same thing. Finish turn, soft trail shoulder. More compress into the ground. Something Preston told me a while ago. Less EE than in swing above. Looks more rotated at 7.

The finish looks smoother too. I noticed this with my swing that when I work on the shoulder rotation through impact, the finish just becomes better, easier and more relaxed.

Yes, I tended to not finish swing, I guess there is some merit to phrase swing to a finish. 

Teacher has been coming up once a month and this is the most in person instruction I’ve ever had through the winter. We keep cycling through similar things I noticed which is fine because I never feel like I’ve quite mastered really of the pieces he gave me, could always do better. Worked on Key #4, via some backswing adjustments and extension Key #1 head not going forward at 1. I’m fine with toe strikes, coming from shank land. I like how I’m much more comfortable with arm higher at 4. Clubhead farther from body, more speed. Face is open in face on vid, could add a touch more lead wrist flex at 4.

For some reason, indoors, tend to pull the ball, not paying attention to where it hits the net. More cognizant of that now. Think Key #1 is getting better, better at head not going down and forward at A1 and not going backward and down at A4. Laying shaft off from A2 more w/forearm than wrist, less handsy. Also better at keeping arms behind me a touch at A4, keep arms from going out too much. Preston's compress into the ball on downswing. Think this is how the swing will look from now on, have settled into its eventual look.

Still a little dumped under going to the ball, but backswing and transition better, think could be more rotated at impact, still a lot of pulls, but Key #1 better, less head forward at A1 and less head backward at A4. Higher hands feeling more comfortable.

Latest lesson - more extension post impact, was too Havercamp. Also worked on 1/2 - 3/4 speed full swings, tend to not complete BS on those, flighting the wedges down, and driver CHS. 

Driver getting smoother. In a rush to get to range, didn't have time to bring the Mevo. Feeling good about swing, hopefully can make some headway with scoring this season.

    • Wordle 1,013 2/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I was gonna be a big shot today...  🙂    Nice Job!
    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
