I find it helps to "feel" like I'm tilting towards the target starting around A2.7 or so, seems to counteract the sway which for me can start to creep in around A3 if I don't monitor it. Video shows that I'm not actually doing that, but staying centered.

Do you mean sway towards your back foot?

Yeah, basically if I don't stretch the right side (which I tend to feel as tilting towards the target) my head and upper body will translate off the ball in the last portion of my backswing . As long as I feel a bit of tilting I can usually stay within the acceptable parameters.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

So make a conscious effort to tilt the opposite way. You may need to really exaggerate the feel at first. Work with a mirror so you can get a feel for how much you need to feel to get you in the right position at A4.

Cool thanks. At first I was having the feeling of leaning towards the ball because I was going up at takeaway. Once I addresses that Mike showed me how much I was going back.

I went to the range yesterday and was working on key 1 and it was going well.I noticed that my ball flight was lower. I was wondering if its normal for my trajectory to be lower if I'm staying more over the ball? All the irons I hit well (driver also) seemed to have a lower ball flight

Possibly, you should still be hitting it "high enough". Not knock down trajectory shots. If you are, head could be going too far forward on the downswing.

Its not like a knockdown. I'd say basically 1 club lower so. My 6 looks like my 5 used to. I also should say I used to hit the ball higher than everyone I play with.

Yeah that was going to be my next question ;-)

Then it makes sense that you might be hitting it a little lower. Post a video when you can.

I've been working hard on key 1 and I feel like I have improved a lot. I was at the range twice this week and I keep hitting pull draws or just pulls. Is there a feel I should have at impact to keep the face open or at least square?

Feels vary from player to player. Post a video if you can. Just a guess, could be the left shoulder raising too soon on the downswing, head "tips" back a little. Causes the pivot to stall, not opening up enough with the hips, toe "closes" faster.

It could even be as simple as you need to aim a little more right ;-)

Ill try to get a video up soon. I've been at a range where I can only get a down the line view. Its been to cold to hit outside (flipping Wisconsin). Ill try aiming right first since I'm probably stuck at the indoor range another few weeks.

Really working on Key #1.  I only took a few swings Its 39 degrees but I got a tripod and 32g memory card for my wife's camera so I had to give it a try.  It looks a lot better than the older videos. I want to get analyzr student and play around with that but Im happy it looks better than the end of last year.

Thank you sir.  Im sure there is other things to work on.  I wanted to get Key #1 down before I worried about anything else. If there is anything else you see feel free to let me know.

I'm no Pro, but I agree, that looks a ton better than your last FO vids where your head was really drifting back. Good work!!!

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • 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.
