Get Better Now! April 2015 Practice Challenge Thread

[Jameson]

Thanks !! I´ve just train a bit the drill on the second video (my 15 minutes at home), and tomorrow at the range will do the drill on the first video. Will tell you my impressions. Thanks again-

Been playing too much lately and my course was closed due to rain so I took a little break and right before sun down I practiced my putting stroke and my chipping in my back yard. Big tournament tomorrow so hoping to do well!

Currently working on getting my driver ball position more neutral, back a bit from where it is now.

My ball position with driver gets too far forward and then my shoulders open up leading to pulls and big fades.

[Yukari]

I've been doing minimum of 5 min. a day.  Somehow I am now pushing, straight push, with my driver.

I think it's my setup.  I will keep doing this until I get it nailed down.

I do at least 15 mins every day after kids go down. I hit Dixie cups to feel somewhat of a real strike in the family room.

More drill with the punisher yesterday.   I need to keep it up with the drill to ingrain it in my swing routine.  One more month of daily practice and I think I won't be flipping.   Flipping is for dolphins but not for golfers.

[mvmac]

Did my 5 mins today.

[iacas]

Did my 5 mins today.

Ditto. Gonna do another 5 here while watching Live From.

I was able to get some decent practice in yesterday at my wife's grandmother's house for Easter. Did some reps for full swing work and used the yard for pitching practice. It didn't take too long to get the right feel back, and I had forgotten that I had a high flop in my repertoire that I could have used last round. I miss having a decent yard for short game practice.

Might not get to do my 5 minutes today. Been fighting a bout of food poisoning all day. Maybe I'll just work on the putting stroke or something.

Ha I was working on my drill from evolvr while watching them obsess over Tigers short game.

[chris3putt]

Have also been doing my bit each day. Got today's five in at lunchtime.

[Jameson]

Also had my 10 minutes al home, trying to start my BS with the club in the right position, not far behind me. The bad sensation when I do this, is on the DS, where I feel to have the club too steep, but maybe it´s a wrong sensation...

[Hammer 4]

I actually did my 5 mins at the range tonight..I got the strangest looks from some people, I was doing the same thing, Slowly, over, and over again...

[iacas]

Finished up my taxes and then did five minutes in the hallway with a wedge. Did a lot of slow-motion transition work. Found a subtle change to a feel I like and plan to put into practice later today when I head downtown.

Worked on some slow feels last night.  Worked on it a bit this morning as well.  I will put a video and some notes up in my swing thread.

[Crazycanuck44]

After today's round, I decided to switch gears to practicing my pitching. I think I have a good idea on what's going on, and I'm going to keep practicing it everyday until I don't have to think about it anymore.

Bring Tiger with you he needs it.. :P

Bring Tiger with you he needs it.. :P

Everything we've seen and heard from Augusta National says you're about nine weeks behind the times with that. :)

I've been doing mirror work with a 5i for a few minutes a day in conjunction with my lessons for the last two months or so (not every day, but close). Being able to see what's going on has been invaluable in developing the feel of certain movements/positions.

Most recently I've been working on keeping my weight back. Formerly my hips would move toward the ball during the downswing causing me to get all bunched up at impact. This stopped my hips from rotating, and would cause my arms to flip through the swing since my body basically stopped turning.

Next up is getting my shoulders to rotate a little more around my spine rather than just tilting up as I come into the ball. I'm working on getting the feel of having the left shoulder coming around (rather than being pulled towar my ear) without also pulling the swing path sharply left.
