[woodzie264]

1/27 - kettle bell swings for balanced weight shift with focus on steady head. Cable column swings for balanced weight shift

[Wanzo]

30 min mirror work and slower swings working on hinging wrists and steady head.

40 mins on range with #7 working on trying to get decent plane throughout swing by pulling club/hands closer to torso as opposed to stretching to hit ball. Much cleaner shots when I pull it off so definitely has been a problem.

1/27: 15min backswing. left wrist, grip, elbows closer, right elbow not retracting (feeling a bit forced at the moment).

Working on A2 to A3 with a mirror. Trying to keep my legs a bit straighter and the body bent better at the hips while reducing the pressure around the lumbar through "relaxation" drills while in position. Still figuring out the proper amount of "C" versus "S". There's a "straightness" that seems pretty optimal, but I'm not sure this is the least restrictive position or not?

Decided that straightening the legs a bit more and standing more upright works just as well as anything else.

Working on the A2 to A3 then holding at A4. The hold at A4 is to try to "stretch and relax" the muscles so that A4 feels a bit more natural. Trying to find the farthest position where A4 still feels relaxed as opposed to "coiled".

Planning on doing this continuously throughout the day and for the remainder of the weekend whenever I have a stretching break or whatever.

On way home from current gig, popped into American golf and bought a chipper practice target net, some 30% balls then a couple of sample patches of imitation grass from B & Q for £2 each and spent 1/2 hour chipping from spare room onto lading, approx 10 feet, I need to learn to chip???

So tonight I made swings from waist high through the impact position. Focus on staying "back" and extending through. This is such a different feeling.

1/27: Got excited about a new tip from my swing thread and tried to get sidetracked, but was reminded not to do that. About 25 reps, slow backswings with focus on hip turn and balance at each step: stop at A4 for feel, down to A6 and stop to feel weight and arms in the right place (move them there if needed), and finally extend through to A8. Then hit some full shots for fun and finished up the evening with 50 or so pitch shots to various targets around the yard.

1/28.  Light stretching.  Tilt and Turn.   

[NCGolfer]

Some slow swings and mirror work today.

[Wanzo]

20 min hitting 8 irons focusing on head still to start down 

[CarlSpackler]

Went to the range and hit balls. I got some video. I'm hoping for at least a shred of improvement.
