Day 533 - 2026-03-18

Continued work with the Swing Coach app exaggerating some downswing (and late backswing) stuff. This is from yesterday, but… more of the same.

Flow drill and arm reconnecting on downswing. Also focusing on arching wrist, I can tell a big difference on camera, when I dont focus on it.

Day 534 - 2026-03-19

Mini-big day before a Very-big day. Had a little break between a GEARS session (eh?) and a HS golfer from OH! So, got some swings in working with headphones in.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Trying out the Swing Coach App. So far I like it. After using it a bit, I was thinking like 1-2 steep for the backswing and like 3-4 shallow for the downswing would be good practice numbers. Erik mentioned to me, something around 3 shallow in the downswing. That jives.  On the course I would prefer like 1 steep and 1 shallow. Or 2 steep and 2 shallow. I can shallow it a bit better with a slight steep backswing. I can easily get a 4 shallow backswing without trying 🤮. I had the right knee towards the ball tracking on. I did see an AMG video on the right knee and how it can stall turn. I was like, I do that. Not the best logic to bring that into your swing practice, but 🤷‍♂️🤣 Anyways, I think helps the left knee stuff a bit. I was trying to roll my right thigh towards the target and feel a stretch in the front of my right thigh/hip. More right  hip through impact. Video looks good.  I am exaggerating the downswing a bit here, but I like the lower body movement here.  Takeaway: 2 steep Half Back: 2 steep Half Down: 4 steep
