Not sure what your preference is but I do find it helpful to add an extra layer of info with making a few lines on the golfball to give feedback on club path and face position

I prefer to look at the top of the ball without any alignment or aids.  

Now I have to say that using it along with a putting mirror for my setup and takeaway has made me want to consider changing some things.  Its a constant evolution and if lines or alignment help then there is no reason to not start using them.

Practice at home in the shed this weekend as we’ve gone into a 5 day lockdown. Frustrating golf wise as I’m starting to feel a bit better about my game. Played 9 holes of matchplay on Thursday and was getting more confident in my swing before lockdown was announced Friday.  Putted extremely well, my reading of putts was back to its best.
 

Spent some time using my homemade downunder board, and a good putting session with the Puttout system.  One bonus of being locked down for the weekend, my shed is much tidier now.

For the last couple weeks I have mainly focused on stretch and then doing the wedge planemate protocols up to the full swing (I skipped the single arm work) and if I go to the range I use my smart ball. With my flexibility coming back and my swing improving, I did my first workout in a month to try and gain some speed. If my flexibility continues to improve and my swing stays solid, I may consider a swing speed trainer, likely MaxSwingSpeed unless a used speed stick set shows up for similar price.

had a lesson with my coach today and ended up going through a few different driver shafts...

i think we have a winner, folks. here are a couple of drives with my sim 8* set at 7.25* and the Kuro Kage XT 70TX shaft...

yes, the second one was overdrawn a bit. but considering i’ve been fighting a bad open faced slice since i started playing, i’m stoked to see the ball turning over to the left. 

dispersion, ball speed, and the feeling that i could really let my swing go were all far and away better with the XT than the other 3 i tried out.

Looks like that combination is going to be a winner for you. I just feel sorry for that golf ball, 184 mph ball speed, that's just sick. 😂

Nice to see you getting some right to left action and those spin numbers look to be on point. Congrats!

Yeah something about a ball decelerating from 187 to 0 in the span of a few miliseconds will do that. Glad you got a for working and your swing is coming around too.

Continued working today on feeling like i am starting the downswing with getting my left arm off of my chest. Its definitely helping to reduce my early extension and i am starting to develop good awareness on when I don't do the move correctly vs. when i do. I also like that this is not just a drill but is part of my swing. Although it feels to me like my left arm is making the first movement in the downswing, its not actually making the first move, it just feels that way.

Back to the range for two buckets this morning. Wasn't the best day overall, just couldn't get comfortable over the ball, but the MMTs are addictive to hit! Really enjoyed my time spent with the 6 and 7 irons today. Still seeing a few MPH increase in swing speed across the irons after switching from steel to graphite.

Didn't have a ton of success with the longer clubs I brought (driver, hybrids) mostly because I just was too tight. Started getting a bit more relaxed toward the end of the session and had some better swings.

Also forgot to add, nicked a wall yesterday with a swing. Am banned from swing in the house. This is my patchwork to fix the issue.

After a busy weekend moving washers and dryers, cleaning up underneath them (didn't realize the washer was leaking...ugh), and spending time with friends we haven't seen in a long time, I was able to hit the range today. 

I went with the goal of working on my fairway woods which killed me my last round. I'm having issues with the 3 wood off the deck and today was no different. 20210221_151106-01.jpeg.d0cd4369ba2c05afb79a9c4e9664fabd.jpeg

I experimented with ball position and still realize it needs a lot of work. As you can see I'm living low on the face and am going to have to spend more time working on this. My 5 wood was fine, I didn't spray it but was seeing better ball flight and distance,  just have to stick with it off the fairway and leave the 3 wood for tee shots. 

Irons are showing improvement, I'm tightening up my pattern and am really pleased with the results I'm seeing.

I am also really happy with driver, I replaced my shaft to a HZRDUS Smoke Black and it's been performing on the range and the course. I'm currently in the process of moving back to taller trees and working to get my AOA more positive. 20210221_152549-01.jpeg.ccd67715476f71ae5e6233352f2d1668.jpeg20210221_152114-01.jpeg.928352e22ae6fc5a0f642bebf626b2db.jpeg

A little more off the heel side than I'd like, but it's tightening up and I didn't have shots all over the place as per usual.

Hey rb.....did you need the neosporin & band aid after she whacked you upside the head for dinging the wall!?!?!?!    🤣

I think you can sand a bit off that patch!!

It got up to 39 today so I opened the pole barn doors and hit a few into the net.  A good 1/2 hour working on swing positions and making pretty solid contact.  I finished it off with some speed stick swings to tire myself out.  Then I headed to the putting green.  I had shoveled it off earlier and the sun cleaned off the ice crumbs.  Mostly I was trying to remember the putting stroke changes I worked on all Fall.

In working on swing changes, started to have a left hip stall issue so i wasn't rotating through the shot. Typically when I try to actively rotate, then I start spinning the right hip which is not good either. In the two gifs below, I am actually only thinking and feeling like I am making a change to handpath, but that "handpath" change is actually helping with rotation as well.

Spent some time with my swing coach.  Worked on small tweaks to my setup and getting the club a bit more upward in my backswing.  Also worked on clearing my lead hip and maintaining better tilt at impact.  I've been struggling with rotation and hitting weak fades lately.  I have a tendency to start with my hips but not clearing them as much as he'd like to see and not fully getting to my left side as a result.  So, these are the things I'm working on.

I've been working on the same thing this winter.  Not only clearing the lead side better but also clearing a little earlier.  I wouldn't say my upper body was ahead of my hips / legs but my hips needed to pivot a little earlier and a little more than they were.  I am guessing its age and less flexibility that is creeping into my swing.  Included with swing work are some strength & flexibility exercises this winter to try to push back a little on the dreaded time machine.

@CarlHand @Shapotomousi have the same issue opening the lead him/turning. Most recently I found this diagram as a light bulb moment for me. Always have had a closed stance....how can I clear my hip when I start out like this? Have since adjusted and I do not have any videos but it feels much better and hitting a straighter ball. Not sure if you potentially are doing the same but just wanted to toss out what I have seen for my own swing

You mean... you mean... that age affects the golf swing??  Huh!  Never made the connection.  😂  

Word to anyone approaching what you think is "old age" when the ball doesn't go quite as far as it used to and you have a few more aches and pains during/after a round, start working more on strength and flexibility NOW.  Don't put it off!  The longer you wait, the harder it is and the longer it takes to improve just a little.  I waited too long.  🙄

......

A few decades ago I didn't worry about the state of my game coming out of Winter.....distances would be there, feel would be there, my muscle memory was there with very few early spring warm up rounds.

Now I am doing the winter work outs just to try to tread water in terms of my golf swing....Getting harder each year....my muscle memory is probably worse than my real memory (and that ain't good)!  😵
