I'm predicting a lot more grief from the wife.........I broke a light fitting in the kitchen after my last practice session!

I'm in.  I've already been doing this. On days when I can't hit ball, I swing at a rubber tee. Below is a drill I did yesterday at the range.  I am working on flatten the shaft from A4 to 5.  It has been a year long endeavor.

I did this once as well.  Our ceiling fan/light in the living room has 3 glass things that surround the bulbs.  I broke one with a backswing.

I could not find an exact replacement, but the wife has not noticed yet.

I'm in.  I wonder if I'm the only one who sneaks in 30 second mirror sessions at work when no one else is in the restroom at the same time.

After watching my swing in slow mo last night I was too embarrassed to post, so Im head over heels for this thread. I need to brush up on the Five S of practice.

[Big C]

I'm in.

I am in. I do this a few times per day generally, but it is good to keep it up.

It goes without saying I'm in as well. I hit twelve balls very slowly yesterday. Took 10 minutes or so. I also got on SAM PuttLab prior to a clinic I gave.

12 in 10 mins! That will def push my go go go mentality to the limit.

For the month of April we challenge you to practice your full swing for 5 minutes at home or at the office every day. If you're up for it, post in this thread. Also feel free to post about your progress, or a video/pic to keep us updated

For 5 mins?   I have to dial down my practice then .

I have been focusing on getting rid of flipping with the "punisher" at home.   I used the punisher at the range for the 1st time yesterday, with much less success than at home.   What's the final success would look like for me?   Bigger divots, lower ball trajectory, longer distance, ..., leading to increase GIR and lower score (to 16 HI, one of my 2015 golf goals).

Lots of rehearsals, checking the mirror, etc.

I'm in.

I try to practice at least 30 minutes a day, when it's warm and not raining I spend about an hour outside working on my swing.

[kpaulhus]

Should I be playing while doing all this practice? I'm doing a total swing overhaul, and today went out and shot 96. Should I engrain the swing before I play, or keep playing normally while practicing during the week?

I looked at your my swing thread and I don't think you need to go that extreme. One piece at a time, one day at a time.

A couple of videos of yesterdays practice. Trying to keep it slow and work on sequencing my arms and pivot on the backswing.

Did this for about half an hour. Probably the best practice I have done all year.
