Day 407, December 12, 2023

Practiced for 30 minutes or so. Backswing, mostly, with a little tiny bit of slow downswing stuff just to layer it in. But 90% of the attention was backswing, and it got a lot of rehearsals.

Day 408, December 13, 2023

30 minutes downtown doing a lot of backswing work but mixing in the dash of downswing work. Hit more 9I than 6I today, I think, or very closeΒ to it.

Day 17: 12/13/2023:

Did my overspeed training first thing this morning. Forgot to do it yesterday. ... oops.

Then on lunch I swung by the outdoor range and worked on some stuff. Mostly my piece where I slide my rib up a wall. But also dropping my rear and pushing it away in the downswing.Β 

I finished by hitting some targets with wedges.Β

    • I know the camera angle is terrible but I wasn't to be bothered by anything. This a straight up caveman hit. No structural or dynamic positional thoughts. Wanted to clean up my palate of too many competing thoughts. Still committed to getting my pelvis and trail elbow moving correctly but I'm just fighting myself a bit too much at the moment.
