adam3553 replied to Dave325's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Range work today. Worked on my takeaway making sure the hands go in and clubhead goes out. I also worked on getting my weight into my right side in the backswing. Golf season is really close. It was 61* today!! -

Went to the range this afternoon. I continued where I left off yesterday. I focused on my takeaway and also worked on getting my weight into my right side in the backswing. I took the whole centered pivot a little too far and during my last lesson I found out at the top of my backswing I had 90% of my weight on my left foot even though it felt like 40%. -

Range work again today. I really concentrated on my takeaway. Im working on my hands going in while the clubhead stays outside the hands. I really could tell a difference in my swing and the quality of strike. It also felt weird so I know I was doing it right. -

Met with my instructor for a lesson today. We worked on my takeaway and continued working on my downswing pivot. My takeaway had gotten out of whack and I was rolling the club in with my hands. We focused on my hands going in and the clubhead out. Overall it was a very good lesson. -

Range work again today. I spent a little bit of time working on my downswing pivot. The rest of the time was spent at the practice green working on my pitching. I specifically worked on using the bounce. First time this year the practice green was open! -

Went to the range after work today. Worked on my downswing pivot while making very slow swings. The last half of my range session I spent hitting wedges to specific targets. I tried to make 1/4 and 1/2 swings to try and dial in some yardages. Im heading to Myrtle Beach in 2 weeks for a golf trip so Im trying my best to prepare for that. -

Practiced at the range today. Im still working on my pivot mainly in the downswing. When I got home I did some mirror work focusing on my takeaway, and making sure my hands go in and the clubhead goes out. -

Lots of mirror work today since the range was closed. Im still working on my downswing pivot and regaining my forward flexion. I also worked on my takeaway by making sure my hands are going and the clubhead is going out. -
Wow, thats my worst nightmare. I absolutely HATE spiders.

Did alot of mirror work today focusing on my downswing pivot. Made very slow swings with a 7 iron. Im really trying to ingrain regaining forward flexion on the downswing. Ive not used my right leg the proper way in the downswing for so long that I have alot of work to do. -
New shoes

You can get Adidas Boost golf shoes right now for under $100. I bought a pair when they came out last year and love them so much I bought another pair a couple weeks ago. They are 2 year waterproof too. -
I have a couple. 1 gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds. Wastewater flows through a sewer line at 3 feet per second. Most of the sludge and solids that get treated at a wastewater plant get injected into farmer fields and are a great source of nutrients.

Im 30 years old so I grew up with the balloon heads you speak of. I had my first job at 17 and with my very first paycheck I bought a King Cobra SS 350 driver. I still have that thing in the closet but havent hit it for 10 years or so. I currently have a G30.

Went to the range today. Continued my work on the downswing pivot and regaining my forward flexion. I also did some mirror work focusing on my setup and posture. -
Eye 2 irons are still very relevant in todays golfing population. They should do you just fine until you can get your swing into good shape. IMO ill take lessons everyday over new irons.

Too cold for the range today even with heated stalls(-10* windchill). Practiced getting more forward flexion in front of a mirror. I also practiced some backswing drills and checkpoints in a mirror. After working on that I spent a good half hour on my putting stroke. Practiced the gate drill and also checked in on my putting stance and setup. -

Worked on my downswing at the range today. Im trying to regain my forward flexion on the downswing. I also checked on my posture and setup position in my mirror at home. I try and keep an eye on that stuff because I tend to get sloppy. -

Met with my instructor today. The lesson was spent on my downswing pivot with the big priority of regaining my forward flexion in my transition/downswing. I really learned alot today and I have some good drills and checkpoints to work on to help me with this. -
