One thing I noticed from the last down the line video, you take the hands way inside on the takeaway and almost do a C to get hands up to where they should be. It's like you take them as deep as they will go and then lift them up.

Yes, for sure. One thing I've been wondering though watching the pros, some have a really odd backswing, but get it on-plane on the downswing. Where should I focus? On-plane back & through, or just through?

So IMHO the less manipulations you do to get the club in the correct position the better. My instructor has/had me working on taking the club up and inside in more of a linear fashion, so like \ instead of C or L. I hope that makes sense.

It's been a few years since I had my first instruction, need to get back with a teacher.

Cool idea, but will that move the ball position up near the left heel enough for the long clubs?

Sorry, but I just now noticed this. To me, it seems to.  You might have to do some adjusting with driver and woods, but that depends on your typical shot shape. For example, you might end up with the ball too far from the left heel if you tend to leave the club face open a little through impact, resulting in slices/pushes (for a righty). I think of it more as a general idea, which should be fine-tuned for each individual.

    • Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.  
    • Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day. 
    • Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine. 
    • Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣
    • Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
