You keep making me :doh:myself my head hurts. Stop doing that! :-D

But seriously, I just assumed that was one of his juniors, they pretty much dominate his posts.

Yeah, I tend to speed post while multitasking. And those baggy pants make him look shorter and stouter than he actually is.

I read the title, watched the video and thought, oh man, that guys impression is simply the best I have ever seen. Then I look down and said, wait, there aren't too many guys at 121mph, and then saw his name. Wait a minute is @nevets88 trying to fool with me...

Glad the confusion is cleared up. It is really kind a disappointing. You can occasionally find someone who can mimic a swing but rarely the speed. This would have been awesome.

Yeah sorry about that. Will try to not let that happen again. :-D

To be fair to myself, it's not everyday an instructor you're following who teaches mostly juniors and them boom, it's DJ on the same spot. SMH.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
