VSP? Not sure where to find that, the too flat was based on swing path to the right through impact. Or maybe it was just way too inside to out?

Vertical swing plane. With the driver is usually 45 to 48° or so. Then it may not have been too flat. I'd be cautious of taking advice from most golf pros.

Hard to say, I don't see that on the information. I thought that was what the "pillow" he put between me and the ball was for, to keep my swing plane from being too flat but it could just have kept me from swinging too far from the inside.

Yeah. The worst lesson I've had was a PGA pro who told me there was nothing wrong with my swing.

Just out of curiosity, so I know what to do after work, do I need to repost my swings for evaluation today or was the not so great video I posted the other day ok for showing my shortened swing?

Just my thoughts.

I post my swing more often than some others.  Even if nobody comments on it, I still have it there for an information log.  It can be helpful to look back on.

I also like to see others swings and hear what they are working on.  Even if I don't comment, it does not mean I am not following what they are doing.

The only issue is that it's supposed to rain the next couple days so actually videoing a swing of me hitting balls is probably going to be tough to get. Swinging at nothing typically means very little and doesn't really give much for Iacas to give feedback on.

Same here. Though I haven't done much practicing lately, mostly putting inside. I should hit the range more, and work on my backswing :whistle: . I don't post a video here of every time I practice, but I record while I practice, I need the visual reference. I do the same, if Erik or Mike is commenting on another person's thread I usually read through it. Especially @cipher thread. We seem to mimic each other's problems.

As for the number of times a person should post a video. Depends on the person. If a person constantly posts video, I would say do not expect to see much change between videos because change takes time. It might be nice to to post a video if you happen to really get a feel that works. Then you can write up a note about it and look back on that post later on. If a person posts every other day, I would expect them to get the same advice for a while, or until the image changes.

I took some video on Saturday, but didn't see much difference so I didn't post an update. I post if I see a significant change or if I have a new problem creeping up, then I post away. That's just me though.

@iacas Still fighting the flip obviously, and I think I let the ball creep back in my stance but that's probably just the bad camera angle... Also every drive was a pull/pull draw rofl...  Sorry about that by the way, they had the hitting area moved way back and it was on a slope... sucks

Have you tried putting the ball two balls instep from your left foot and hitting an 8i like that? You are not transitioning your weight forward, and basically you are are skidding out with your back foot.. Key#2 drills might help in this case, such as banking the right foot and hitting half shots, or maybe presenting your left hip and doing the flying wedge drill.. And others available.. The backswing looking much better though! Take my advice with a grain of salt, just trying to help.

I will have to take a picture of where I have the ball in my set up. It really is further forward than it looks in this video I'm almost certain. As far as not getting my weight forward, that could be true. I know it "feels" like I do but we all know feel isn't real right?

Very true.. Just take a look at your position at A9 or A10 and compare with any pro and you will see what I mean.. Basically your right foot ends up twisting around itself and it ends up on the sole of the foot instead of banking, sliding forward and then turning into the finish..ending on the instep of the tip of the toe or just hanging by a thread on the toe.

I have a confession to make, I have no clue what the position designations are, rofl. However, I think I understand that not transitioning my weight could be a major reason why I hit block shots out to the right.

I hope this helps.

Ok, so here's the deal on not banking my foot... Long story short, I can't. I have an AFO. Very similar to this one but mine is on my right leg. It's from an accident that broke my back when I was 18.

I suppose saying "I can't" isn't totally truthful, technically I can get on the the side of my foot but it requires my whole leg to tilt inwards at the knee. I don't think that is correct movement though. I could be wrong. I should probably try it before saying I can't, but it just doesn't seem feasible. I can't twist my foot side to side or tilt it at all which is what seems to be needed.

Please ignore my above post then..  in fact.. I would suggest that you should take one on one lessons to make sure that who ever is having you work on anything knows of and is aware of any possible limitations.  You don't want to do any drills that could be harmful to you...

Not much in the way of drills could be harmful to me, some things just aren't possible. Mostly with just my right leg. I have some limitations with my lower back but in working with Erik we've already discovered that part doesn't impact my swing.

    • Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.  
    • Tell me about it - shouldn’t have second guessed…
    • My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.
    • MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:
