I have gotten a few tips and lessons over the winter. @iacas can attest my shoulder pitch changed sucked I mean, it was bad. I have been working on feeling like I keep my chest up. And I'm hitting the ball much better... and yes gotten rid of the ugly step through motion.

I realize this is just a small success, and my swing will need more work. But setting up taller has seemed to be a good starting point.

My question is, why does it improve my balance so much? And is this a good start?

In a thread on posture, @mvmac discussed this feeling:

As I said I'm feeling posterior tilt, in reality I am closer to anterior but adding posterior.  By tucking my tailbone under me, posterior, I place the hips in the best position to release the flexion of my right hip during the backswing, not to mention how much easier this position is on the lower back.

I remember this little tweak in my pelvic position at address made me feel like I was standing taller. And it made my twisting feel much more free. Occasionally I'll re-remember this and it helps to be aware of not arching the back like the pic on left.  Maybe applies to you?

    • Day 555 - 2026-04-09 Played 17 holes (we skipped 6 to pass a group letting us through). Hit more good shots than I was expecting. 😄 
    • Day 233 4-9 flow drill while focusing on better hip/chest rotation. Used mirror. 
    • 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.
