I’d kill for that swing. I have a downswing problem and I hope adjusting my right hand at address will help. (Baseball swing.) I hook it when I connect or hit some god awful fat shots when I don’t. Driver chippind and putting have all come together for me just the mid irons. To the point where the cam seriously considering wood type clubs from 125 yrs and out. lol

I don't love that trail elbow getting around you there, @GolfLug. You know how to work on that.

Hmm. Yes, It seems I have already have it going behind me by A2. Bit of grip work (need more in fingers) required too. 

Thanks.

What kind of ball is that?  It does not look round, also it must not be too firm m(or your wall would not look like it does) but it does not look like foam.

It's just one half of a Callaway practice wiffle ball.

Don't roll it so quickly. Turn your body, ELEVATE the hands (by hinging UP to your right shoulder). The roll throws the club too far around you.

Tiger helping a college golfer with this one. I like how he calls swinging it too far inside "wasted motion." Inspires me to never do that again 😄

36-45 yesterday. Lost swing on the 12th the hole and couldn't troubleshoot until the 17th. Both block slices and pull hooks showed up. It's like blowing a tire cruising at 75 mph on the freeway. 

It seemed right arm/hand started becoming dominant early in the DS. Maybe.

Put my left arm on top of chest, rehearsed a few slow left side rib stretch/steady head backswings and finished ok on 18th. 

Murr Christmas yall.

Should I just quit worrying about the elbow for a week or so?

If you want to for Christmas, sure. Otherwise… no.

Good on the left (could get the elbow off your ribs more if you'd like), more chaotic and tougher to build speed in the right sequence on the right.

This could help me as well. I need to set up my phone and hitting some shots into my practice net. First things first clear the hitting area that full of dog poo

@GolfLug, buy yourself (or use if you haven't already) the Swing Extender. I think you can still find them for $29. Don't pay the $49+ I've seen them going for occasionally.

Happy New Year All!

Loosey-goosey at the top. The extender will be here in a couple of days.

Guessing, not enough torso turn/sync. Not enough hip depth. Too much arms/hands.

    • Ahh the old classic "nobody agrees with me so I don't want to talk about it anymore"
    • @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.
    • What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. You guys are so serious it kind of proves my point. Other sports make adjustments for  field conditions etc during lower level play. This isn’t life and death here, it’s sport. No need to keep arguing. I have my opinion and you have yours.
    • Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
    • PGA Tour players weight shift to their lead foot way sooner and to a higher % than amateur. I would say it is something like close to 90% lead foot at impact for PGA Tour player. For Amateurs it could be under 50%. You need to get the weight transfer over more and sooner. You can't rely on the feeling of finishing on the lead foot as validation you did so.
