Small progress from last year. Tad bit shallower downswing would be nice.

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.

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.

    • Each year I participate in a two person scramble.  It's flighted after the first 18.  We play 54 hikes over 3 courses.  There is still opportunity for sand bagging.     
    • A fairly solid +7 round yesterday with a double/triple bogeys on 15th/17th for my two blow up holes. Still not up to full speed but there is sufficient distance to tackle a dry 6,000 yard course. Anyway, I often forget that the golf swing is sideways motion with a left side leading focus for majority of the BS and DS (for a right hander). That is the focus here dynamically active left side thigh, hip and upper torso with a low, below plane left hand to start the takeaway and a good left last stretch at P4 with hands. It is almost like my left side is shoving my right side out of the way and behind to start of the takeaway. I think if I were to get on a set of force plates now to compare against my motion a year ago (hypothetically since I didn't back then) I would show some good improvement. Hmm... I wonder who has a set that I can access..🤔😉
