Lots of great info on this thread. Thanks everyone. I struggled with lag putts the other day, leaving a long second putt that too often I missed. Going to work on that standard length putt. I found this episode of the Sweet Spot had a lot of helpful info too, similar to (my interpretation) of what was shared throughout this thread.

I have made an effort in 2024 to do more mirror work and rehearsals. Pretty much every time I go into my room with the full length mirror or when I am at the gym I try to do at least 10-20 reps practicing my priority pieces of my swing. It takes like 30 seconds to a minute and I likely do that 2-3x per day most days. Come to find out, that work appears to be paying off. When I am at the range it feels easier and more natural to get into those positions because I've done hundreds of dry reps with them already. As far as how much time should you be spending on the slow intentional swings to make the swing change vs practicing other skills, I think it depends on a couple things especially since we are in the middle of the playing season right now. First, what is your handicap/skill level? My answer is going to vary slightly if you're a 0.5hcp vs a 18.5hcp. Second, what is your overall goal? Do you just want to shoot lower scores, do you have a specific tournament(s) in mind you want to peak for, do you just want to have a better looking golf swing? Third, where does your current level of ball striking compare to the rest of your game? Is ball striking a strength that you are trying to make stronger, are you a wizard around the green but struggle with approach shots, etc. As a 2.5 who is trying to just shoot lower scores and peak for a few tournaments/events this year, I do spend some time working on slow intentional swings focusing on my priority piece, but it's not necessarily my primary focus. Right now with the amount of golf I'm playing I'm in more of a maintenance mode with my iron swing and utilizing my practice sessions to work on specific skills that haven't been good over the last few rounds. I'm not trying to do a complete overhaul or get major swing changes to stick mid-season. -

Grip More in the fingers, left hand knuckles closer to parallell with shaft. Feels like a big change. Setup Shifting weight more forward to the balls of the feet and more bent over. Trying to get the hips closer to the ball so the middle of the hips is more over the ankles. Haven’t quite found the balance yet in the swing, but there are probably moving parts reponsible for that as well. Still a very mixed bag of shots, but generally an improvement. More shots around straight, a few that might have been small push-draws. Still some bananas going right. Clubface is varying a lot at impact, perhaps partly because of the grip change, but the flip isn’t helping either. Here’s an image to show the difference in torso angle at setup (yellow), shaft angle at setup (red) and shaft angle on the way down (green).
