Good progress!!! That has to be encouraging.

Definitely, I was able to isolate the feel to go along with the drills I'm doing. After my league night I'll have a better idea if this is translating into the course swing or not.

Just to take a page from EJ's putting notes for himself:

Current feel for the full swing to help kick the flip:

Straight arms: this helps several things, shortened backswing, staying connected, and flip by keeping arms extended in the follow through

Centered pivot; feel like turning around left leg to keep hips from sliding

Swing arms on downswing: ignore hands/wrists, focusing on the hands/wrists seemed to exacerbate the problem. Just swing the arms and let the rest happen naturally.

One thing that I have to make a conscious effort to do is make sure the ball placement stays center/front of center. I have a tendency to let it creep back.

Keep drilling it in. That's a huge difference.

Congrats!

Quick screencap of the video uploaded to evolvr 5 days ago and tonight. I know I've still got a lot of drills and practice to go, but I think this is a good start. Progress is exciting for me, I don't think I've ever progressed this fast before. I give all the credit to Iacas and brian for helping me. Pushing me to record myself to find the right feels and focus on one thing at a time has helped more than I ever thought possible.

Night and day. Finish looks very Zach Johnson like.

The lines from the aluminum siding - very handy for reference.

How do you keep that mini mat in place?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I have a couple of pegs that were used for something else, they have loops on the end that I turn inwards to hold the edges of the mat in place.

That's part of why I put "kick the flip" in there as quick key phrase to look for :beer:

Looks good! Between the two pics, it definitely looks like your weight is not nearly forward enough on the right, while much better on the left. Also notice how cupped your wrist is on the right vs. flat on the left. Nice.

I'm just amazed at how quickly you installed that patio door and carriage light.

Yeah, I'm pretty handy like that rofl. The camera positions are taken probably 6 ft apart, but it's crazy how it looks like it could be the same spot. I'm really interested in taking the swing to the course tonight if I end up having enough time. I'm a little concerned about loss of distance/swing speed taking the flip out, but I'll be happy if I can hit it where I want more often.

I would not be surprised if you gain distance.  It appears you will be delofting the club a bit now.

That is a distinct possibility. That's part of the reason, one way or the other, why I want to play a bit tonight. So I have an idea of what sort of impact, if any, there is on my distances before I play in my league tomorrow.

I lost it, already, I lost it. Didn't get to go play today so I just went back out to work on the swing thoughts and nothing but big flips every swing. Every feel I used yesterday fails.... Bad day got worse... back to the drawing board.

Take a day off and let your mind and body rest on it. Then go back and do SLOW SWINGS, and rebuild the foundation.

Focusing on straight arms and swinging arms instead of thinking about stopping the hands from flipping. Just not working for me today.

Reread your lesson text 3 times. Rewatch the lesson vid 3 times. Play that vid of your swing on the living room flat panel and mimic it while watching. Then go out with the camera, mimic the non flip swing without a ball for a bit. Then with the ball. You got it once. That's all you need. You have it in you somewhere. It's there. You can get it back.

I'm hoping it's just a matter of over thinking it and I've had a pretty crappy day.

    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
