Yes sir. I also felt like I has hitting the ball very solid.  I was messing around on analyzr and my knee was moving forward and my waist was going more up than just straight ahead.  What do you think?

I know this was directed at Mike, but you may need to watch this. You are dipping down a bit to initiate the downswing. Your right leg gains flex and the knee kicks away from the target backwards. That can possibly lead to fat shots.

Whats odd is I can't see the same thing with my hybrid videos. Maybe its cause the wedges is so much shorter? Im not sure but I will have to go to the range and work on it. Thanks for all the help guys its really appreciated.

Ive been working on Key #2.  For some reason I can't seem to make it feel right for the driver.  I was hitting my irons real well at the range and have been in the few rounds Ive played.  I have been hitting the driver good when Im kind of swinging with more upper body.  Any help would be appreciated.

Jakester, I have the same problem. Mike posted a vid somewhere about leaning on the inside of your right foot, which helps you to get to your left side (this is for right handed players) I did this when ever I hit driver, and even 3 wood, and it does help. Unfortunately I still haven't come close to mastering getting enough weight on my left side, like I do with my irons, just can't figure it out :doh:

Dude, looking really good on the backswing, nice work. If I was to add anything I would say you need to keep that left knee flexed a little longer on the downswing, "press" into that left foot a little longer.

Is this what you're referring to @Hammer 4 ? Yes @Jakester23 I think it would be good to set-up with more axis tilt, meaning the hips are pushed a little forward (towards the target). Spine will be tilted more to the right, little more "reverse K".

Mike, the video was you, showing how to start with the right foot leaned inward, so that it would be hard to put any amount of weight on the right, hence, your weight goes on the left foot. I wish I would have book marked the vid... :doh:

Oh, this one?  This one is it. You explain it with regards to the driver on the right. It's actually the flat left wrist drill..doh!

Nope, it was just you in the vid..and it was specifically for the driver.

Should I setup with more tilt just for the driver or for every club?

I would say probably just the Driver. You can accomplish this probably just by bumping that front hip forward a touch to start.

Swing is looking good my friend! What was the ball flight like with the 6 iron in that last session?

It was like a missile ha ha. Its hard to say but a little lower than last year but I feel like its still kinda high. Id say that's more because of the clubs though (being SGI's). I am hitting my irons better than ever this year which is great.

Much of a fade or draw?

Mostly a little draw but my miss which is common is a pull draw. I seem to do that every time I over swing. I do get fades but only once and a while. I seem to hit more fades with the driver than with my irons. I hit a real nice pull draw that cost me a really good 9 last weekend. I pulled a 7 iron on a par 3 OB and made a double.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
