Day 304

Did drills to help maintain shoulder pitch, then hit balls with half swing maintaining the shoulder pitch. Then moved to full swings with an airplane drill between each ball.

Day 63

Time was limited today so I did some mirror work waiting for the shower to heat up. (Yes, it takes 5 minutes for my shower to heat up. I hate our water heater)

Day 64

Played 18 at Lancaster Golf Club. You don't want to know the score. It is becoming apparent to me that it is time for me to start putting more work into my chipping and putting now that my full swing is more stable.

Day 306

Lesson today. Turns out my ball striking issues were caused by something really dumb that I was doing.

Day 116.  I missed yesterday (10/13;  my previous miss was 9/19 and those are my only misses in the past month+, so I'm within the challenge rules).   Today I did speed sticks out back while dinner was cooking;  protocol one.  Got to 110 with green stick.

Day 307

Worked on takeaway, specifically not moving my right hand grip. Did 20 rehearsals and grip checks.

Did some airplane/helicopter drill working on getting lead shoulder behind the ball. Then did 20 rehearsal backswings to that point.

Finally hit some balls trying to put it all together.

Been 2 weeks since last superspeed workout, so will start that again next week.

      My Swing (gestate0560)

      Had a couple lessons. Trying to work more on having sway away from the target to start the backswing and achieving more hip depth and some other details as well.

      For Sale: Three HackMotion 3.0 Units

      By iacas · Posted

      When I first upgraded my three HackMotion 3.0 devices to 4.0 devices, I was told to discard the 3.0 devices. 😛 I asked them why I couldn't sell them (or give them away) to another person rather than contributing to electronics waste, and was told they were working on a program to do just that. The program is now finally here, so… I have three HackMotion 3.0 devices for sale. Straight from HackMotion: The Core license is $275 (with a 3.0 unit) if purchased from HackMotion (the extra $125 gets you the hardware): Golf Swing Analyzer & Wrist Angle Training Aid | HackMotion Fix common golf swing faults, improve ball flight and master clubface control with the help of the HackMotion wrist sensor. If you'd like more info, send me a DM.
