"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge 2018-20
iacas replied to iacas's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Day 96 - April 3, 2020 Full swing work again. This is going to be almost everything that I do. Not true, but keeping that there as I'll need it soon. Muscle strain is healing but still not there, so I did a good bit of pitching work before/during/after a lesson. I stayed away from the lesson recipient. -
Yeah that's what I hear. But at least courses are open… we're still closed in PA. This Sunday/Monday it's supposed to be in the 60s.

Guys, I have four more filmed - two full swing, two short game - but your feedback right now is critical. What do you like? What don't you like? What you say now will affect the remaining 23 videos I have yet to film. P.S. I believe @NatalieB will be helping with a few. -
Yup. And the picture is better, yeah. Be careful when you grip the club with the head on the ground, though, for the same reasons: it tends to go across the palm. Can't see the left hand grip in the video, so it may be fine. Just be careful.

Thank you. I appreciate that you're doing them, along with many others. I like seeing the videos each day. Not every day is going to be a "winner," but I'm going to strive to just get everyone doing 5-10 minutes a day through April. And then… you can repeat them all in May. 🙂 -
Then count yourself among the lucky. I didn't read what you wrote as if you're not, but…

We're on day three, and you're already a day behind! 🙂 6-iron, but if you want to chip a ball, then a 9I is fine. Shorter clubs make the drills "easier" but… you can always chip a wiffle ball or ball up a piece of paper or something. -
Yeah… it's two posts up. 😉

Day 3 - Trail Arm Work On this third day, we'll talk about one of the most common problems in amateur golf — the way the trail arm works in the golf swing. Far too many people do one or both of these things: Get the trail elbow too far "around" or "behind" them. Over-bend the trail elbow (below about 90°) This causes all sorts of other issues that affect path, low point control, club face control, speed, "lag," and more. The drills for today include: 2:00 - Left Arm and Reach 2:00 - Left Hand Under Right Elbow 2:00 - Two-Step Swing (Fold Elbow, Turn) Video: -
More across the base of the pinkie. Here are my tweaks: You see how diagonal the fingers are to the grip? Make them more perpendicular. If you're going to grip with the club horizontal, don't also put your forearm horizontal. This just lines the grip up to go up your palm. If you want your forearm at this angle, grip the club when it's nearly vertical. You should see more of the heel pad and less of the base of the left pinkie. More like that (blue rectangle) with the whole heel pad able to sit on top (pink outline oval).

What the f*** are you talking about? Your posts have not been deleted.

Better. If you get a photo where you can actually see the heel pad, post that too. 😉
