New here, so thought I'd jump in the deep end. This morning featured 10 mins or so working on partial shots to get consistent speeds on various length backswings for pitches and chips. I'm focused

5/5 Played 18. Was +4 through 8 (which is unspeakably phenomenal for me) then earned myself three 10's in the next 5 holes.  Spent 15 minutes pondering the meaning of life. Spent another hour

More mirror work and stretching. It's raining here the next few days so it will likely be the same updates the next couple of days

4th May, 

45 mins continuing to hone swing speeds on partial pitches. Starting to get more consistent numbers:

7:00 chip - 10mph

8:00 chip - 17mph

7:00 pitch - 23mph

8:00 pitch - 36mph

9:00 pitch - 45mph

These are pretty much the same through the 52*, 56*, and 60*. PW47 is a shade quicker on the pitches, by 1-2mph. I don't care a lick what the actual speeds are, just that the same "feels" are producing some consistency in terms of speed. 

Seems like progress, but we'll see if it translates to reliable distances.

4th May:- Star wars day! 10 mins full swing practice with video. The club head is slightly inside the hands when viewed DTL at A2. Need to exaggerate the feel of keeping it outside ala Rickie Fowler.

May 5 - Very easy mirror work. I'm sore all over. Left ankle, right knee, right SI joint, left wrist. It reminds me of how I felt the morning after a rugby match.

Spent another hour later on reading about simplifying swing thoughts and tidying up the mental game.

5/5: Tried slow swings for first time in a week, hoping neck and shoulder could take it. Able to get a full shoulder turn, but difficult to keep from turning with my torso.  I will need to swing cautiously at the TST outing over the next two days- no sense compounding an injury.

5/5

The weather cleared up so I made it to the range. Still really working on the hip turn. Got some new video today and really frustrated that everything looks exactly the same. There has been no change at all. I'll keep plugging away but I really would like to see some change....We stayed at the range for about 1.5 hours. Worked on the swing for about an hour and then me and Jacob had a competition to see who could get closest to the range markers for various yardages.

5/5: 5 mins. conditioning drills w/OW; full swings, focused on hip turn leading the parade down
10 mins. work w/Momentus; slow swings focused on clubface control
Went to course....
40 min range session; worked mix of all club types; focused on pulling butt of shaft down into ball & clubface control
Walked 9 holes; same keys from range; focus on pulling butt of shaft down into ball (so no flip) & clubface control
Struck it better, especially with the driver, and no pull hooks today; but topped a couple of 3 wood shots...dunno why
Hit more fairways & greens than normal, just edged by 3 birdie putts, but overall much better than earlier this week

5th May:- 15 mins full swing practice, outdoors. As part of the backswing work I've been doing, today was focused on the setup posture. Specifically, with feeling that my butt was more "tucked under" my upper body at address. The increased stability from this meant that I was able to turn more fully from A2 up to A4. Very helpful.

1 minute spent hoping I can do it on the course.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By saevel25 · Posted

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
