"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge February 2017

[RandallT]

2/13: 5 minutes extensor exercise from instructor. 5 minutes doing slow motion swings just focusing on left wrist.

[CarlSpackler]

Hotel room practice. Swinging motions using a hanger. That's about all I can do for the next 5 nights.

[freshmanUTA]

Spent about 20 minutes practicing turning and swinging without bobbing my shoulders up and down. Feeling more natural 

[Chilli Dipper]

2/13: Rehearsing backswings again, but I wasn't thinking about my elbow for once. This time, my focus was first to achieve a proper wrist hinge, but I was satisfied with that after a few minutes. A bigger issue for me is pulling my lead shoulder too close to my chin, which obstructs my range of motion through the downswing and followthrough. I know what the right position feels like, but I haven't found any particular drills to hammer that point through.

[Mico]

5 min practice with just hands and maintaining structure in the swing by pushing down as I swing back and thru

travel this week so have also begun to research practice routines for first twelve inches of downswing

 

 

need to find best one...

Love this Roamin

Thank you.

2/13: 10 minutes with my 9 iron, slow motion 3/4 swings for a bit. I can slice 3/4 shots way, way too easily. It's a great shot to have in the bag (with as many trees as I seem to end up behind), but I only want it when I want it. If that made sense.  Anyway, I practiced trying to feel/do the same things I do in my normal swing drills for a while and then gradually sped up and started hitting shots between reps.

2/14 - happy V-Day; 

ditto^^^^^^^^; 30 mins of capsular stretching, rotator cuff & scapular stab ex's for my gimp left shoulder. 

[boogielicious]

2/14 - 20 minutes mirror work focusing on float load feel at transition and key 3.

[freshmanUTA]

I spent 10 minutes practicing turning while staying balanced and not bobbing again. 

[Chilli Dipper]

2/14: Played 18 holes; shot 95 on an easy course. Duck-hooking the driver is killing me.

[RandallT]

2/14: 10 minutes working on instructor guidance re: shoulder tilt. Also did slow swings focusing on left wrist and right elbow.

[CarlSpackler]

More hanger swings. Boring, but it's something. 

[roamin]

2/14: 10 minutes of pitching practice. Picking different targets and working on start line and distance.

[Mico]

5 min 

hand across chest and practicing turn

pushing down with V structure held thru swing

right hand only

 

[woodzie264]

2/15 - 30 mins of pitching; working on varying lengths of  backswings to play with distances....I'm very inconsistent 

[Billsy]

Practice putting with Putting training aid for 10 minutes. Working on distance control.

[RandallT]

2/15: Shallowing the club on the downswing to get ready for next video assignment at the range from instructor.  Did not think about the left wrist or right elbow here, so maybe regressed a tad? But was strictly focused on downswing steepness and having the club fall behind me.

10 minutes of mirror work on left wrist position at top of backswing
