    ElmoGolfs got a reaction from cksurfdude in What/How Did You Practice Today?   
    Well this is a lot of info for not having seen me swing! I was hitting just fine and fell down a rabbit hole of chasing releasing the clubhead when I honestly was likely already doing a decent job. The last few rounds after drilling this "release" feeling I thought I  wanted in a net and now i can barely get the ball off the ground. If I was hitting any worse than I am now I wouldn't be hitting the ball at all. I tried this drill for 30 minutes and every  strike felt 100x better than the last few weeks for me. Again, going to see a pro is my best bet, so that's what I really need to do lol

    Well I think my issue is releasing the club too early causing me to flip at impact. Seems like this would be a good drill to help with early release which would help my shaft angle, but the truth is I need to go see a pro!

    Had a good lesson this evening, focusing on tempo and a smooth transition.  I tend to get quick in the backswing and in transition, which throws off sequencing badly.
    It's amazing how difficult it is to slow down after the quickness sets in!
    Lots of long transition pause drills in my future.  These also help me ensure my right leg stays in the correct position and doesn't straighten.
    Good progress today which I hope to be able to implement effectively.

    Looking forward to following along here... particularly interested in any UB reviews as those have popped up on my radar more than once, but I haven't tried one.
     
    Enjoy the testing!

    Congrats testers! Very excited to see these results. Have always played stock shafts so will be nice to see if people think upgrades are worth the price

    ElmoGolfs got a reaction from Hacker60521 in SuperSpeed sues The Stack System   
    This lawsuit reeks of desperation coming from SuperSpeed with the Stack taking a lot of their market share. Seems like the false advertising claims will be difficult to prove. Especially if Stack can show the equations for how the come up with their estimates. Seems like having the term "potential" in their calculations is a good hedge. Like this is potential distance with a 1.5 smash factor in pristine weather and perfect launch conditions. Since it doesn't track club head data it can only go off an estimated perfect strike. As long as they explain that somewhere in the app or website, I really dont see a problem.

Current favorites are Chasing Scratch, Hack it Out and On the Mark.

    Hey All! New Member here located in Columbus area. Just started playing last summer, but I play  about 2-3 times a week and am swinging a club one way or another  when I don't play. Shoot around  mid 90s most round now, but feel like I am improving at a good speed. Down to meetup for some rounds if anyone is nearby!
