Thank you @mvmac , more food for thought and more stuff to keep working on.

Although to be honest the whole shifting the weight forward and driving in to the ball is hard work at the moment! Its one thing to hit all the right positions when swinging through with the club in slow motion but quite another to pull it altogether in an actually swing!

Ok...quick swing update :)

Feels like Im making progress and scores are now starting to come down to the low 90's so hopefully Im heading in the right direction.

This time Im trying to introduce lag and get the legs engaged!

Righto then...latest swing update HOPEFULLY this time with more "more please"...being outward pointing feet as per mvmacs latest coaching article :-) Must keep working on keeping the head still too. Tell you what though...the change in stance has made staying in balance through the follow through seemingly much easier. [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/iJS8An_gk-Y[/VIDEO] Regards Mailman

Nice improvements with the backswing! This looks great

Couple things I see

- Spend a little time checking your grip. Left hand looks a little weak and palmy.

This will get the butt of the club lower and "soften" your right arm.

- Work on this Key #2 feel. This with the handle/arm position adjustment at address will help the left arm stay "in" longer on the downswing so you can swing outward/less inward.

Here are some images from a session with my coach a couple weeks ago. To be honest I was surprised by what I was seeing given that not that long ago I was suffering from flipping and fat shots! I'll try sort the video out shortly and get that posted. Regards Mailman

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
