Day 514 - 2026-02-27

Got some swings in feeling a little Rory takeaway (extend the left knee) so it can't flex too much.

Day 196 2-27

A little all over the place tonight. Worked on arching through downswing and getting the ball to go left.  Setup and grip were off so I put a little time in on them. Finished off with some swinging to the right more. Recorded. Hit some foam balls but still did quite a few rehearsals with one arm to get the correct wrist movement.

Day 41 (28 Feb 26) - got in some drill work w/5h, 7i, 9i - started with taking a wide grip and working the follow thru not collapsing the lead arm, but keeping it extended.  Wrapped up with easy full swings using the hard foam balls.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Another trip to Erie, PA.  Still worked on some backswing stuff. Just not there yet. I tend to do everything a bit too much.  Here are my notes... Basically the backswing should be.. Slight shift right (this could be where the left knee extends a bit). Using the left leg to push off the ground.  Raise the arms up and torso turn. Mostly it just feels like I am just raising my arms.  Keep the lower body facing forward. Feel like I don't let the knees rotate at all. It is going to feel like I don't turn at all with the hips (they will).  The swing should feel much more compact and shorter in duration. Instead of carrying on to 60+ degrees of hip turn, 110+ degrees of shoulder turn, 120 degrees of right arm bend those numbers should be reduced by 25%+.  In the downswing, I need to keep my arm width as I lower the arms to my right pocket. The left arm is scraping down the chest. Don't feel much in terms of recentering body weight. I tend to overdo this (lots of slide towards the target). So, it is going to feel like I stay way behind the ball. Just straighten the leg during the entire downswing. Straighten it in a way that pushes my left hip back. It is possibly going to feel like my back faces the target longer as I bring my hands down. Also, I need to push off with the left leg as well during that timeframe.  Getting closer. I am able to do most of this stuff. It is just getting it baked in more.
