I've watched a few of the sweet spot path 5sk videos and those seem to pertain the most to getting "stuck" in the down swing. I'm pretty good at making real time adjustments swing to swing but one thing I can't get a feel for is getting my rear elbow in front of my hip or at least close to it. 

 

My big thing for my swing thread is focusing on making sure I get unstuck.  I've tried a few different drills on YouTube but I'd rather not spend a lot of time doing a drill that I don't know is effective. 

Any of you have any stuck drills that you feel have helped you?

Not exactly a drill, but start your backswing by swinging out a bit. Think Rick Fowler, or Steve Stricker.  or a whole webpage on it by Jim Waldron "Arm Swing Illusion".

Thought this comparison might help. Notice Jordan's shoulder alignment and especially the hips....

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Comment:  Huh, I practiced regularly until 1/31, got busy in Feb-Mar (as I knew I would), and got reinspired today.  I have done some intermittent practice in the past two months, but let's get back on the daily practice wagon. Day 1, April 9 2026.  I worked on some pelvis turn limiting drills, doing one for several iterations before context switching to hit a few balls slowly (trying to retain that feeling), and repeating.

      I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.

      Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast.
