MaxEntropy Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The last few weeks in my basement I have been chasing a more repeatable putting stroke. Recently it seems I have had good success by focusing on keeping my elbows in - it seems to help prevent me from getting "wristy" and just rotating my shoulders. We'll see how it works out if winter ever ends. sirchunksalot, Shapotomous, Kenny B and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: Epic Speed 9* (set -1) MMT 70X 3W: Tour B JGR Recoil 760ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-AW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 SW: RTX Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: TAIII Black 58* Putter: Scottsdale TR Senita Bag: BigMax Dri Active Lite Ball: TP5x or AVX (yellow) Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Testing Complete, Final Review Posted: Sub70 TAIII Forged Wedges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlow206 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Regarding my pivot/rotation comment, in this swing, I "feel" like my arms are passive during the downswing and I am just rotating hard through the shot. What I mean by passive is that I am not actively trying to speed up the arms or hit with the arms. In actuality, it looks like it is speeding up my swing by feeling like my arms are passive. downlowkey, MattF, Vegan_Golfer_PNW and 2 others 3 2 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at your swing you still are fighting this and from what I can see it’s because your balance points are off. Because of where your glutes are in relation to your body and your armpits you end up rebalancing yourself in the backswing. As a result you don’t create and space in the downswing and that’s what causes the the right shoulder to dip and the need the stall. at setup if you use the marking on your fence and use the image of butt on a chair or wall at the top of the backswing instead of pushing the chair back a little you come off it and no ever get back onto in the downswing. The first pic shows your address and the second shows you at the top and where you can see the separation from that mark on the fence and the third is just before impact showing even more separation dlow206 and sirchunksalot 2 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people talk about pretending your hips are a bucket of water and you don’t want to dump water at setup so you tuck the hips. This was one of the biggest GG tips that spoke to me. I used to try to want to set up like Adam Scott, but because I am not a world class athlete (hard to believe, i know), it is a struggle to keep the hips and pelvis back. The only place for it to go during the down swing was towards the ball (the dreaded goat hump). Keeping my pelvis and hips under me more at address and having a more relaxed spine allows me to really push back the pelvis and rotate the hips during the downswing like I was never was able to before.

Thanks, I need to take a closer look at the GG setup posture stuff. I think when I am out on the course, my butt starts to go out even more than in my practice videos (feels like I am going in the direction of sitting at address), and then i am assuming the EE gets even worse. I dont have any recent on-course swing videos to prove it but i am pretty sure its happening. I have historically suffered from what I call the double EE.

My issue is more years of NOT firing the left side aggressively. I start to clear my hips on the downswing, but they're still fairly square at impact rather than open to the target. There's a lot of little faults leading to the cause that I'm working on.

What I mean by passive is that I am not actively trying to speed up the arms or hit with the arms. In actuality, it looks like it is speeding up my swing by feeling like my arms are passive. That's exactly what I've been working on the last couple of days while working with the Divot Board. I noticed with my normal swing, ground contact is all over the place. While trying to rotate keeping the arms passive and feeling like I rotate the chest through before the arms, I'm seeing more consistency. I'm starting small, mostly quarter and half swings with the wedge trying to develop a feel for it. bens197, dlow206 and GolfSpy_SHARK 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say “proper”, but proper to whom? sirchunksalot 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: TM-180 Testing: Backups: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say “proper”, but proper to whom? Proper is probably not the right word. "more" is a better word. more rotation on the downswing than what i have been doing.

PMookie Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Just got back from the range where I hit a large bucket, working on a drill from my coach, then hitting driver, and “playing holes” to finish. If I can just get the feeling down from the drill during actual play... Man, I flush the ball, and hit SO straight when done correctly. sirchunksalot 1 Quote Driver: Ping G430 Max 9*, Ping Tour 70X Fairway: Ping G425 15*, Ping Tour 70X Hybrid: Ping G425 22*, Ping Tour 80X Irons: Ping i230 4-GW, TT DG X100 Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 Ball: Titleist 2023 AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
