"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge January 2017

[RandallT]

1/9: integrated backswing and left wrist focus in with slow downswing. Ensured left wrist feeling flat and getting decent wrist hinge. Checked transition in mirror  to ensure club falling behind me at start of downswing.  15 min

[CarlSpackler]

Not very motivated, but I got my reps in the backyard. Working on the left hip with feet pointed out. 

[Mico]

Traveling with no golf clubs or swing trainer in Miami

5 min practice swings first with arms outstretched and then arms folded across chest 

worked on takeaway, at the top of backswing, a bump to left and then swing thru.

makes me think about parts of swing:

• how to push with legs

• how to turn

• how finish with belly button toward target (have plenty of belly, just can't seem to turn completely toward target)

Practicing all week this way will be hard

15 minutes of carpet putting.  Still watching the forecast for friday....mid 60's.  

[Wanzo]

30 min of mirror drills working to shorten backswing 

[PabloMoorzio]

77 balls at range with #6 iron only, purely trying to get a consistent tempo to my swing as my new toy, Zepp gadget, tells me I'm all to cock with current tempo so gonna nail that 3:1......

1/10 - putting in the office; predominantly 4-6 ft with focus on bead

[Hatchman]

1/10.  In house.  Posture and tilt and turn drills.  

[CarlSpackler]

Swings in the backyard brushing the hitting mat. I had the light on behind me so I could see my shadow. Feels like I am leaning (not falling) back at contact.

[RandallT]

1/10: left wrist in one arm swings. Maintaining flatness. 5 min in foyer/mirror

[Hacker James]

I keep getting this image of men swinging in front of a mirror, brushing up against a chair or wall, for 5 minutes, at home, or in the office, or out on the construction site. The thought that keeps popping into my head is the commercial on TV  "Do these pants make me look fat?" Then again, I see myself popping out to the back yard at odd times throughout the day (and night) swinging and hitting golf balls into a net, sometimes flipping the "bird" at the ball laying innate on the ground.  I guess that's not so different, other than I do not keep a chronological account of the activity.

1/10:I bought a new sand wedge with a giftcard from Christmas and it came in the mail today. Spent about 45 minutes or so alternating back and forth between practicing pitching and chipping, and full swings just to get a feel for the club.

[NCGolfer]

30 minutes of putting.  Working on an open setup and drills to keep back of left hand going towards target.

[Mico]

5 min practice

 cross arms across chest and turn back and thru. Careful before coming thru to bump forward

same excercise with arms outstretched.

hard to feel how to push off ground to get power. Turn is aborted because don't  have the flexibility.

1/11 - kettle bells swings for balanced weight shift with added focus on steady head. 

I hate winter

[RandallT]

1/11: 45 minutes at range. Exclusively worked flat left wrist. Practice swing, slowish motion swing with ball, then full swing with ball. Each batch of 3 swings a separate video. Reviewing now and submitting to instructor. Bit disappointing as the work here isn't fully being implemented "live." I am still tensing up over the ball, and need to break through so that it's all unconscious regarding the flat wrist. I need more range time, I think, but I'll just try to get out there every possible day this winter.

[Wanzo]

tried to really slow down today and focus while I was practicing.  I'm a broken record on the drills, setup tweaks, wall drill for hip turn, and feel a 1/2 swing to stop the arms from running on in backswing.  sent a fresh evolvr video in afterwards to make sure I'm on the right track.

1/11 - mirror work at the gym. Focused on my Evolvr drill.
