Day 113 - 2025-01-21


15 likes, 0 comments - iacas on January 21, 2025: "I don't get on my own @gears.sports as often as I should! Had a good time today confirming that the work I'd been putting in on my backswing thing was good, and I...

Got on GEARS myself today to check the backswing stuff. I saw a few little things I can look at (less turn, a bit less sway, a bit shorter overall), but I was pleased with the wrist stuff.

Day 1 (21 Jan 25) - Managed some swings in the backyard with 6&7 irons before the snow was to come in.  Usual drills - pre-shot setup, stance, ball positioning…

(Starting over - yesterday’s post did not load, and I have had another missed post in the last month…)

Day 42: 1/22/2025

Did my usual mirror work with a 7 iron today. But I also get in some chipping practice in the basement. Hitting my 60 degree and my 54 to a couple of different targets. Looking forward to hitting some balls again as soon. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 2 (22 Jan 25) - Had planned to maybe roll some putts as we get 5-7” of snow last night.  Then the grandson puts into hit some foam balls in the snow - small carpet for a temp tee box, soft foam balls and a wedge and we’re off.  Those were the easy swings - playing a foam ball “in the snow” was major fried egg splash out city….great fun and challenge..IMG_8661.thumb.jpeg.53066e749f361693bb8b66f5bbd24e1e.jpeg

Made it to the range today for about an hour.
I hit balls working on my PPJ swing thought and my hip movements. 

Did a bit of mirror work both in the AM and just now.

Day 3 (23 Jan 25) - Repeat of yesterday’s work per request of the grandson…more pitches and chips in the snow.  The snow had crusted slightly, so we got to hit off tight lies as well as fried egg lies. Love teaching him how to work thru and overcome less than optimal conditions.

Day 22 - More mirror work. In-laws in town, too much housework and babysitting to allow for range time. Perhaps tomorrow...

The repetition (wall, mirror) seems to be working though.

I've blogged about my wanderings since 2003. I love roaming throughout the USA looking for remote public golf courses to play.

    • No problem - that’s one of the best parts of the golf community - being there. 
    • Got it. No, he hasn’t asked for the angle, I can move that over and get another video. That really was a poor video. I’ll get another. Sorry about that. 
    • Day 138 - 2025-02-15 Stayed after Junior Elite for 90 minutes. Almost exclusively downswing stuff at various speeds. At high speeds I'm consistently 1-2° right. At slower speeds, 6° out if I exaggerate it a little. (Slower speeds for me are 70 MPH 6Is).
    • Three things (pay attention to or discard any of these as I know you're working with someone): Camera position is what I'd call poor. It's too far out toward the ball. Maybe your instructor wants it way out there, but I feel that's unlikely. https://evolvr.com/recording-your-swing/ That camera angle makes the first image on the left look better than it actually is - you're taking the clubhead out quite a bit and using your arms a lot early. Then at the top it continues - your left arm-clavicles gap is probably pretty narrow, and you've probably not turned very much here at all.
