Actually it is not really pain but more that the limber region gets tight and then I am not able to correctly turn the hips anymore. It is actually more range of motion or mobility.

I am sure a better posture will be less stress for the back.

Yes, so not arching the back will take out the tightness in the lumbar.

Tired it today and it feels less stressed Quality of the shots was the equal, but it feels less stressed for sure. I am wondering if that isn't already to much of a C-posture?

Hey guys

just a little update after 3 months of not playing due to a ruptured adductor muscle fibre :(

I am starting the ball a bit more to the right trying to have little draw shape, miss is the push which is then not coming back anymore. 

What do you think of the swing?

Any idea?

As it was sunny this afternoon here in Germany I took the chance to work on the swing again. 

I was doing almost slowmotion swings putting the focus on technique and rhytmn. I have the feeling that really helped the smoothness of the swing.

Did you guys have similar experience with slowmotion swings?

I'd take a look at the feet flare/turning rates video again (below). Your hips don't turn very much and they look very level. Makes the downswing a lot harder when your lower body isn't creating any depth or speed.

Compare that pic with these guys.

Cool, yeah my hips are quite passiv in the backswing, good idea!

I will try to get the hips and legs a little more active in the backswing and see how this works out for me.

Here is an other front on view.

It seems to be really hard to open up my hips without losing much of my balance somehow,

was trying to give it all I can yesterday but didn't change much after all :(

yeah on the backswing

 I guess the problem is my left knee, it won't get forward towards the ball enough :(

In the downswing and follow through the hips are opening and I am getting to the left side without any problems.

Yeah that's certainly part of it. Do this drill...A LOT. Do a few rehearsals before every swing.

I tried out a drill I saw on youtube, really worth giving it a try to get a good feeling for transition an weight shift.

I am doing my backswing with a very narrow stance and as soon as I reach the top, I step into the downswing.

Hey guys happy new year to all of you!

I am still working on the drills mvmac sent me, really really good if someone has difficulties with the right shoulder turn and dipping of the head.

In order to cure the pull shot which occurs when I am trying to hit it really hard or  pressure I added a little bit more of an insight hand path in my takeaway but allowing the club still to be on the outside and forward of the hands. This then helps in transition to keep the club "behind". 

As well I am using the image, of a wall behind me on which I am trying to pull the club along for as long as possible.

With those in mind I can really go for it and have the security not to pull it  :D

@iacas  unfortunately I only got an old front on view from November. I will film a recent one soon.

The last month I put the focus more on plane and path to get rid of the pulled shots which fortunately seems to work quite well with the right "feelings"

      Ovvio Shafts (from GEARS)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.

      Physics

      We agree here. Top of the car has a forward force, bottom of the car experiences a backward force via the braking. Both about the COM (somewhere in between). Result is a rotational flip. Since the forward force is still higher the car probably still globally travels forward. Sure, pretty basic. You really think there are deliberate twist forces applied? Like forcing the club head forward and simultaneously forcing grip end in the opposite direction? Heck I don't think we even slow down the grip end deliberately let alone force it the other way. Sorry, if I am missing something here. The orientation change is simple incidental because there is different rate of global movement of grip vs. clubhead throughout the swing. I also happen to think the best swings have the least amount of differential movement between the two end in the impact zone.  In my defense, I never thought one could do justice in covering all aspects of a golf swing in a paragraphs or two to begin with. Especially not with grade school physics..😜 Okay.

      Wow, @DeadMan that is such a helpful breakdown of what’s around. Really excited to check a bunch of these out. Thank you. Will definitely go to Walnut Creek. Will also try and get a commonground tee time. Haven’t played many Doak courses yet! If your schedule frees up, let me know!
