@iacas, speaking of interesting setups with a net, how did your inground net setup work for you guys this year?

It was really nice. Stayed surprisingly dry honestly and in good form. No rust.

That's one way to keep your head from going back.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I need that but in front of my head to help break the bad habit I have of my head moving forward once I reach the top of my backswing/into my downswing

Maybe there's a way to jury-rig a laser, so that when you break the light, it beeps, like for alarm systems.

I think a physical barrier is much more effective as it prevents the undesired motion rather than just tells you you’ve done it wrong.

You don't have a physical barrier when you play, though.

Yes but my take is that if you will do hundreds of reps in a manner that doesn’t allow the movement it will ingrain itself.

There's a lot of trains of thought on that. Ultimately, I think that things that "make" you do something are limited. There are three kinds of training aids, basically: those that make you do something, those that alert you when you do something wrong, and those that alert you when you do something right.

I think a mixture of those along with the use of things like mirrors and videos is the best solution, not just relying on one of those types of things.

I'll give you one guess what I'm hiding from...  burrrr

Thinking very seriously about a Skytrak for the winter setup.

A little snow shouldn't scare you...Send it down to us, we have none.  In fact, I've not lifted a shovel all year.    Is your garage heated?   It looks like the ceiling is tall enough for a full swing.    If my basement was tall enough, I'd buy a Skytrak but I don't want to heat the garage.

I don't think more people are setting up stations wherever they can because of the internet, I think we are seeing more interesting setup locations because of the internet and social media.

That top one looks like it's in a basement, and if my ceilings were high enough in my basement I would 100% do the exact same thing.

Also, I definitely clicked the play button multiple times on both images thinking that they were videos :doh:

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
