This is the first post for me in quite some time. I have not been very active on the site at all. My wife has had a recent cancer scare (all is fine), my father just had a triple bypass, and my brothe

Compared to what @woodzie264? 6 months - It looks pretty damn good to me. Nice work.  That is not an easy fix...actually nothing about changing your swing is easy. Well done.

Your right hand matters too. 🙂

I know, you don’t like my index finger, correct?

It's not that. It's very disjointed. Left hand a little strong, right hand weak.

Before I start practicing a less-than-desirable grip, is this better? I want to have the right feel before I engrain the wrong thing.

Think about where the Vs are pointing. Left hand only, see where it points in a mirror. Then right hand should over lay the thumb so it’s V points in the same place. The right hand here looks weak because it’s pointing straight up. The other check for the left is how many knuckles you see at set up.

so, if my left hand is a bit strong, my right V should be pointed in the same direction? is not that what Erik wants me to address? I think I'm confused

Yes. But the video you posted has a strong left hand and weak right hand. Just rotate the right a bit to be stronger and make sure it sits on the left thumb along the life line.

A bit, but I think your right hand should sit higher on your left and even be a little stronger to match the left. It is like they are separated too much.

Bringing hands closer with more overlap definitely feels different.

Now put your right thumb on the grip.

Jonny, how long have we been doing this?

You should come up for some work sometime.

It should feel different, more compact like both hands are one. FWIW, when Erik posted that video about the grip in October, I rechecked mine and I was off too. I saw movement when I gripped tighter (face closing). So I check it every time I grip now. It will feel odd for a while, but keep checking it. Try getting them more overlapped too. The Vs look better.

I actually looked at that last night...guess that wasn't apparent 😒

ok.

apparently not long enough. 

agreed - need to wait til kids/wife's schedule slow down a little.  I've thought about it several times. I will definitely respond better to in-person instruction

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
