Thanks for the idea. I'm working through the position label thread to commit what all the A# and P# positions are and represent since I'm relatively new to this kind of approach to looking at the swing 

Hover over them:

A1
A2
A3
A4
A5
A6
A7

If you can remember A1, A4, and A7 the rest are obvious and easy.

Quick update: I hit the driving range on Christmas Eve in anticipation of playing today (which did not happen because I pulled a rib muscle afterwards; OW). I'd been drilling the centered hip turn a lot over the past few days; really, anytime I had some time to kill while standing (yes, even on line at the store, haha). The feeling I'm using is that I'm pushing backwards with the left foot (backwards meaning on the direction the grip of my club is pointing, not away from target). So far, it's starting to make more and more sense with the rest of the golf swing. I'm worried my left knee is flexing a bit too much as my right knee straightens, but I'll have to get some video to see if that's the case (it probably isn't, it just looks different looking down than before). 

In any event, the results on the range yesterday were really exciting. I was making tremendously good contact with the ball with all of my irons and hybrids. The only issue was that the new swing mechanisms are causing a big hook if I swing naturally. I can override it and consciously make the path a bit straighter to get a straight ball instead of a straight draw, but it'll take some adjustments. I much prefer this to hitting the hosel every other shot. I can absolutely play golf like this right now. I'm still wary of declaring that I own a better swing yet, but I'm building confidence in it.

Driver was interesting with the new hip turn. I was hitting it straight, but out of the high heel, so the yardage felt (and was week). I haven't been focusing on driver lately, so it's going to be next on the list, but the slice wasn't there no matter what I did, which was a very interesting development

Fun story: one of the previous times I'd videoed my swing, there was a guy on the range giving me crap about filming. He was being a prick generally because I set up in a stall next to him and that was "messing him up." (The way the stalls were populated, it was either this stall or going off to the far edges of the range, which would've made odd angles for the camera, not to mention bad lighting). I was working on stuff you guys were suggesting and still struggling making solid contact, so he was being a real dick and making fun of the camera stuff. I was drilling small things, not really stressing about the result. Of course, he was there yesterday and when I was hitting choked down 6 irons right at the 200 yard marker, and he was a lot less forthcoming with his opinions about videoing the swing. Imagine!

Thanks everyone for all of your help so far!

Learning English might be a good New Years Resolution. :whistle:

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
