Go even slower. Try a 5 count, 1 Mississippi..2 Mississippi…. I sometimes think I’m going slow in practice, then when I see the film, it’s not very slow. It will help you feel the turn better.

Still not a 5 count, but slower…

What do your patients say when they see you do this?😀

Looks better.  I really have to work on this as I tend to speed up.

Tuesdays are my late start day, I don't start 'til 9am. They do catch me working on my putting down the longer hall from time to time, and we will sometime have "closest to the pin" challenge 😄

PP: right elbow in front of shirt seam

trying to not push my hands out as much with takeaway.

Been working this at a slower speed than this, but wanted to get an idea how I looking at closer to normal speed. I’m still struggling with pushing my hands away from me at take away, but I think I’m doing better with keeping right elbow in front of shirt seam. 

filmed this while waiting for my son at school

You probably already know this but you can’t really judge how well you’re doing something in your swing when you’re not actually making a swing and hitting a ball.

You’re demonstrating that you can get it in rehearsal, but whether you started making that change in your actual swing is tbd.

Yeah, I realize that. I was hitting balls earlier today at home but just thought that I would video the swing while was here waiting on my son. I’ll have some videos posted in the upcoming week or so with me actually hitting balls. Ultimately, I’m looking to get feedback with the actual take away itself, so that I am rehearsing it correctly before actually taking it to hitting balls. I hope that makes sense.

I'm not a big fan of that move. Here's why:

You roll the hands out and the clubhead behind you. You are actually LESS deep here at A3 than you were at A1.

At the top the club is super laid off. You're not going to be able to do much from there.

---

Do this instead:

1. Set up with a good grip.
2. ONLY TURN.
3. Bend the right elbow and let your right elbow lift a little from your ribs.

2 is the left image if you just TURN around the purple line. Your arms and shoulders will be where the blue lines are.

3 is the right image. By folding the elbow and letting it rise up a bit, the hands and butt of the club will rise up along the orange arrow.

Then learn to get there by making a backswing, pausing briefly, and swinging down from there.

Also, include face-on videos.

And… try to find a time to come to Erie. 🙂 This stuff is not as difficult as you're making it. 😄

You need to type slower so I can understand it 🙃

[iacas]

You're moving your hands out away from you, so the club "flops over" at the top and is really laid off.

The trick to not letting your right elbow get around near your shirt seam is not to shove it away to the right in the down-the-line view, it's to move the shirt seam more to the left in the same view.

Not sure if this looks a lot different, but I have a different mental picture of what I’m doing…

Ignore my grip, using putter with thickened grip

[iacas]

That's better.

Must be a long putt.😉

Yeah, my approaches as of late haven’t been the best

4/22/23 - grip work. Still not perfect 😏

People can play better golf than you with a worse grip. Are you going to work on your swing again soon? 😀

🤔 I thought my swing was pretty amazing and the only thing between me a +HCP was my grip.  Dang it

I do need to work on my PP.  Admittedly,  I’ve not been very motivated lately. I’ve played 45 holes (2.5 rounds) in past 5 months.  Hard to invest the time practicing when I’m not going to get out much.  I suppose the other side of the coin is that I have plenty of time to practice and why am I wasting all of this opportunity 😏

[woodzie264]

Posting here only for my own sake…in hopes to get me focused on something I enjoy.  Months ago, my wife was diagnosed with cancer and after multiple surgeries and hospital stays, I’ve played just two rounds all year. I hit on the range yesterday for the first time in a long time. Prob hit my driver as well as I ever have. My irons started out as a C- but graduate to a B+ by the end. My time has been focused and centered on my family (where it should continue to be), but I need to get back into things for my own sanity. I’ve never been able to get out much, but this is ridiculous
