I don't see any animal abuse going on here... You've got a good swing, @colin007 . Funny how we are always our worst critics.

It's a photo showing that you're NOT goat humping.

If any of y'all WANT a picture of @colin007 humping a goat, send me a PM. ;-)

Yours in earnest, Jason.

EJ, that was supposed to be only for you...

Uhm, not so much, no:

would you say that there has been improvement in the above pic compared to last years impact position below?

I have been trying to work on getting my weight/hips forward more, hoping that would help with my flip.  i'm trying to get it through my thick skull that flipping is a lot of times the result of not getting my weight forward.  I also struggle with my upper center moving forward along with the hips, which pretty much forces me to flip or else I wont hit the ball...

Of course! The new impact (though a bit closed) looks quite good!

well, for poops and chortles, I am posting this here - it was posted already in another thread but im putting it here for insight.  I know its not the greatest of angles, and the lighting is poor, but if theres anything you feel like throwing out there, go for it.

I apologize for the extended and gratuitous ass shot.

You don't have to be sorry for that.. It's your friend who should be sorry, but I won't mention his name (he knows who he is).. I would question how much of a friend he really is though if I were you! Hahahaha

What?  I was only trying to get your best side.

Although, good point about the angle.  I think this was our last hole and I had just thought of it so, rushed it a bit.

Here is a new vid, 5 iron down the line, I think the angle is ok. Any thoughts? I'd like the backswing to be a touch shorter. Feels too flat footed at impact, not sure about my hips if they should be more open or not. Contact on this shot was not great but I'm sure all my swings look about the same.

You could probably have the hips more open at impact, but I don't know if that's your priority piece.

How are you hitting the ball? Are you missing left and right?

Yup. Some left, some right. If I leave the face open I get this gross high fade. If the ball starts left it'll keep going left. Ball still goes too high for my liking.

Any thoughts that work for anyone on keeping their head "on the wall"?


Is your butt coming off its wall too? Or just the head?

Not the butt. Not until after impact. Just the head. Looks like about three inches?

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
