@boogielicious, @billchao...thoughts on previous post? If ok, I’ll start in-graining it. If I need changes, I’d rather get it right before repetition sets a pattern

Looks good to me, but I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night 😉

I like the pace of your practice better. The last swing you did reach back a bit more than the previous ones, so watch that. Keep up the good work. Also, have the camera along you toe line and throw in a face on when you get a chance.

5/05/20 - hands back & up

Part of today’s practice; trying to takeaway to hit positions A2, then to A3, then A5-ish, then transition with half-speed downswing. 
 

I tried to position the camera for better toe-line since that’s been mentioned now a couple of times. Not sure if it’s any better, but I tried

Look at the difference in your swing at 0:28 and your first two swings.

The right elbow work at 0:28 is better.

Thank you for checking in on me - did you mean the 0:28 swing vs the previous partial A2-3/5 swings or compared to the other later full swings?

5/05/20 - club head back & up with gate drill

as I come over-the-top and have a 10yd “fade” with my irons at times, I figured it would be a good idea to, while I’m trying to develop a new swing pattern, develop a pattern that would correct the fade and maybe even produce a little draw.  With that, I incorporated the full swing gate drill from the COVID challenge with draw set up.

@boogielicious, @billchao, @iacas, Unless you guys think that’s a bad idea, I may just work on these things simultaneously in this manner from now on. I don’t really have to have multiple swing thoughts going on since the gate drill is rather mindless and hopefully just reinforces the inside-out swing path I should be working towards anyways. BUT, I realize things aren’t always why they seem and you may feel this to be deleterious to my current efforts. Just wanted your take on it since I see/anticipate this being my PP for quite some time

Watch the first part of the takeaway to A2. You are coming inside a bit. Slow the whole takeaway down in the first few reps. Only speed up when you feel you did it correctly.

But you don’t have an issue with the concept of doing the gate drill as I make these swing changes?

After a couple of hours since practice, I wanted to film a cold (no practice, no warm up) swing.

came up with more elbow flexion near A5-6 than I’ve been practicing, but prob close to 90*  Better inside-out swing I think than earlier today with the clubface being a little bit more closed at the top than before.

anyways, I was just curious what a cold swing looked like. 

not sure why blurry

Keep doing that. When it's actually comfortable and "what you do" then I have an idea what your next piece will be.

I don’t know if you’re aware, but golf balls occasionally go through nets.

    • When you're quite overweight, you burn more calories just existing than someone much thinner just existing, so it's easier to lose more weight more quickly, too. A very large person can lose 10-12 pounds in three weeks without being unhealthy about rapid weight loss. If you weigh 170 and want to weigh 160, though, you should take your time getting down there.
    • I figured it was questionable as well. I too thought it was funny when he said how easy it was to set up compared to ‘more expensive devices.’ Yeah, it’s a real mess turning on my Mevo and setting it down. Maybe it’s ‘useful’ for someone who doesn’t want to spend a dime on a monitor and only wants to know distance, on a clear day.😗
    • Is all about the balance between calories consumed / digested vs calories burned though the day. The best way to lose weight is to keep your mouth shut! eat less. Consume less calories than your body needs and you will loose weight eventually. Slowly but surely. Off course you can ad extra workout to your day to burn more calories but it's a lot easier to avoid eating that 2nd burger than going out to run an hour or more to burn it. I went from 75 kilos down to 63 in 1 year just because I wasn't able to eat without pain. In that year I didn't exercise at all in that period, I was feeling bad every day. It was all about not eating enough.  2 years later I regained all my weight, just because I started eating more because I was feeling better. Also in that period I started to hit the gym and play more golf. Burned a lot more calories but also eat a LOT more food.  Fast and slow metabolism is a thing but is just an excuse to quit. If you have a slow metabolism and you want to lose weight is going to be harder for you to lose weight than a person that have fast metabolism, but is possible if you really commit to it.  Bonus track... the bigger the muscles, the more calories they burn during the day even when they are resting. So lifting weight while dieting is better than dieting with cardio.    What is real in a diet? The ideal number is to eat 500 calories less than you burn per day. In 2 week you will be 7000 calories down. That equals to 1 kilo or 2 pounds. So the idea is to loose 2 kilos / 4 pounds a months... it seams to little but over a year is a whopping 24 kilos / 48 pounds. Remember... if you commit to loose way Slowly but surely you will lose weight. Never believe when someone try's to sell you, that you can loose 20 pounds in one month. Is not possible or healthy.  Another thing when you start to diet is don't get discouraged if after a week you stop going down in weight, even you start to go up. is normal, when you start to diet, you normally loose a couple pounds in water, yes that water is from water retention from your previous diet.  Just keep on grinding and you will keep loosing weight eventually. Also worth pointing out, the body always tends to stay the same. If your weight is 100 and you start a diet, you body is going to notice that the calories intake is been dramatically reduced, so in order to keep you at 100 kilos is going to slow down your metabolism in order for you to burn less calories. Eventually this is not going to be enough and you will start to loose weight but your body is not going to make it easy on you.     
    • I feel like that video was an incredible waste of time. Because the guy kept saying carry and clearly the device is saying total distance. With carry distance also on there, but he's not calling that out. They when he's comparing it to the Trackman he continues to say "carry", when again the device says total. With his being so inexact in the use of the terms carry and total distances I literally have no idea how accurate or inaccurate that thing is.  I will say the putting was kind of neat. 
    • I watched that video a few days ago. I chuckled at him saying it is so much easier to set up than plopping a GC3 down and turning it on. I love how he did his test hitting AlmostGolf balls, too. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Do I think this is remotely accurate? No. It's measuring ball speed. It's not getting spin or anything like that. Certainly not in dim conditions outside at night.
