Nice!! The mevo data is fun to check out & exporting to a .csv file is a nice feature. I like to see what the std deviation is because I think that gives me an idea how consistent I am over a session. Looks like you caught a flyer lie on a couple! I had a couple in later batches where i caught the heel of the club on the mat and lost about 4 mph and 5 yards. That 65 yardage is a 53* 1/2 swing for me too. The video is nice to have because yesterday when i thought i was taking 1/2 swing with the 57* i caught myself closer to 3/4 hand height on the backswing. The other nice thing to see is height of the shot. I have been practicing my follow thru finishing with hands low and left vs hands high and toward the target to get different flights. The flight height data is a good reinforcement during practice. cksurfdude, GolfSpy_SHARK, edingc and 2 others 5 Quote Modern Bag: G410 LST 10.5*, Hzrdus Smoke RDX 6.5 Flex; 915F 3w, Diamana S+ 70 S flex; Snake Eyes 18* 2h, 23* 4h & 27* 5h; JPX 900 Forged 6 - PW, PX LZ 6.0; Edison 2.0 49*, 53*, 57* KBS Tour 120 S; Heppler Fetch; Ball - MTB-X; Bag - Jones MyGolfSpy Edition!

I said half way, but you are right... may have just "felt" like a 1/2 swing, but actually something different. I will set up the camera the next time I go out to the net :).

russtopherb Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Back to the range to work on that bleeping driver. Based on feedback yesterday I focused on keeping my back to the target as long as possible to not lunge at the ball. Hit some really nice drives. Also hit a bunch of pulls. Mixed that in with some wedges to 50 and 100 yards. Ended with some time on the chipping green, dropping balls in the thicker rough to work on not chopping at the ball to get it out.

revkev Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 As documented elsewhere I’ve been on the road for 10 days, sans clubs. I did take the blue stick with and had two workouts with it. Chipped for half an hour before church yesterday. Had a huge event after church today - first congregational meal in 16 months to celebrate the arrival of our new Deaconess - part of our vacation was attending our old Deaconess’s wedding. At any rate that meant that I couldn’t get to the range until 330 - not good in our current weather pattern. Did get half an hour of dynamic warm up, 8 irons and dome drivers in. Was pleasantly surprised with how I hit it. I have a video lesson to film this week - I know - I said never but it’s complicated when you’re a club member and want to change teachers. Plus this guy is only two hours away and I could go see him live if need be. I’ve booked two lessons. Waiting on the Lovely Laura’s availability to video - this is going to cost me a dinner at the club for her and her husband russtopherb, sirchunksalot, cnosil and 4 others 7 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sirchunksalot Posted July 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 Got back out to the range today, I was in kind of a rush as a rain storm was coming in. I did get some video in of my swing and didn't delete it this time. My wedges were still pretty decent, I did hit a few fat with my 60°. Irons were fairly decent, I've been working on getting my weight transferred to my left side and was able to actually get some video from face on. Untitled - Sequence 01 13.mp4 I realized after watching, my grip on my right hand is a bit too strong and I need to work that out. Plus, I might have my ball position a little forward for the 7 iron I was hitting. My fairway woods are still a problem, and I don't seem to be shifting my weight at all. I had a lot of topped shots today. Untitled - Sequence 01 10.mp4 I'm also noticing an alignment issue that I need to focus on. I did hit a couple of good ones, still with the same swing faults. Untitled - Sequence 01 11.mp4 I did have one that I shifted properly on, and it was still not too pretty. Untitled - Sequence 01 12.mp4 Driver wasn't too bad, and I only hit a few of them.

Popular Post PMookie Posted July 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2021 Decided to FINALLY get out the chipping net I bought during the Covid lockdown! Grabbed the mat, and then chipped 100+ times varying the distance of the net from the mat. Working off the mat will help my fear of chips on tight lies, and it makes me use the bounce.

gavinski91 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 A quick clip from a range session last week. I spent the early part of the session focusing on an in-to-out club path feeling with my mid-irons (probably closer to neutral in reality, since I tend to be pretty out-to-in). At the end of the session I brought those feelings over to the driver. Still some work to do on shallowing out the swing, but this was a definitely improvement from my last round when every driver shot had a 30+ yard slice. cksurfdude, edingc, russtopherb and 2 others 4 1 Quote Driver - Radspeed XB, Aldila Rogue Silver 70-S 3 Wood - Radspeed, Aldila Rogue Silver 70-S 5 Wood - Radspeed, Fujikura Motore X F3 6-S 7 Wood - 0341x Gen 4, Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Blue 75-S Irons - Pro 225 4-5, 223 6-PW, KBS $-Taper 120 Wedges - King Cobra Snakebite 52° & 58°, KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 S Putter - Stroke Lab Black Ten 35" Ball - Chrome Soft X LS Powered by 2020 ExPutt Official Review | 2021 Cobra Connect Five Participant | 2023 SuperSpeed Official Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, Monte broke it down into segments and explains it in detail. I am constantly going back to certain segments for refresher. Having been to a couple of his clinics, I have connected with his style of teaching. His Instagram is a good follow.

In all of these videos you have the same issues. It looks like too much focus on width which results in no wrist set in your swing. This turns into a collapsing right elbow that bends past 90* which then leads to your wrists setting and causing the club to bounce (Monte and especially AMG talk about this). You then move your entire body in transition causing an ott type move with a steep shaft and your right arm getting stick behind you. At this point you body will do whatever is needed to try and square the club and days or even shots where it marches up you will hit decent shots but going to be more shots and days of inconsistency than consistency. the paid version of not turn cast videos and/or the efficient swing would be good to work on this. Parts of drive 4 dough would help as well. 21 minutes ago, russtopherb said: Anything of Monte's is gold. I have pretty much everything save for Use The Bounce 2.0.

Right now things are a bit iffy and I can't justify the cost with the fear in the back of my mind off either reduced hours or a layoff. At least they're doing everything possible to keep it going by sharing parts between plants and sending us stuff since our product is selling well.

Right now things are a bit iffy and I can't justify the cost with the fear in the back of my mind off either reduced hours or a layoff. At least they're doing everything possible to keep it going by sharing parts between plants and sending us stuff since our product is selling well. Gotta give it to my wife, she's the one that is really pushing me to get lessons. Thanks again for your help! If you have a recent video I’ll take a look for you. What I seen I the pic is the right arm is dominating your transition and instead of externally rotating it’s doing the opposite and internally rotating and which causes it to then get on top of the left arm and steeping the shaft. And from this point you options are miss the ball if you keep going or you have to dump the right shoulder or right side to shallow in an attempt to make contact. This is all compensation for something you are doing in the takeaway and or backswing. a good video from face on so we can look at setup and how you move in the takeaway along with a down the line so we can see the arms and body movement.

I'll try to get a video for you sometime this week, those I posted are actually from Sunday and the current state of my swing. I'll try to get better angles for you, my tripod lost part of a leg when I took it out of my bag. Fortunately, I have another one but it was at the house. fixyurdivot, cksurfdude, bens197 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bens197 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 More work with the driver this morning at the range. Trying to hit toe / heel and high toe balls. I've found that this SIM2, unlike my LST flies better with center face strikes. The LST would fly when I could catch it just up and towards the toe while this is more of a lower / center strike driver. I still can't turn it over with any R-L topspin. I can hit a closed face pull but the draws and hooks are not happening and that is fantastic.

I would assume internal rotation, for lack of a better analogy, is palm rotating toward the ground if I was swinging without a club. cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah from this angle it’s hard to tell for sure on somethings in the takeaway and backswing but what I see to start the swing you appear to be more arms in the takeaway rather than chest/shoulders moving it for you. First pic. Not necessarily bad but can cause issues. your shoulders and hips appear to turn flat instead of the left side getting some bend towards the ground and you don’t have any wrist set as mentioned earlier. From this angle and it might not be the case when a true dtl video but the club looks to have gotten inside too much. Second pic Now as you work your way to the top you hands get deep but you don’t have any hip depth and you left arm is starting to rotate getting the club pointed out away from the ball and target line where it should be pointed at or up to about 6” inside it. Third and fourth pic From here you lift the arms and over extend causing the right arm to be bent too much and the club getting long. Fourth and fifth pics. I didn’t capture the full swing at the top but if you look in slo mo you can see the run off of the club and body. Fifth pic In transition because of the arm depth and lack of hip depth along with being flat you move the whole body which cause the club to get outside and start that ott type move and the steeping shaft mentioned earlier. Sixth pic In the seventh and eighth pics you can see the body start to stall and the club getting further outside and then kind of having to start to stand up in the last pic. This could more exaggerate looking based on angle but as I mentioned in the earlier post these are compensations that have to happen because of where the club is. Working on being more connected in the takeaway and getting the wrist set by club parallel will fix some of the issues. Getting the shoulders and hips to work on and angle will fix some of the other issues. Getting these two pieces to work together will be what helps the transition better. The no turn cast series makes the takeaway, wrist set, hip and shoulder movements work properly. This is the first part of his drill series. If you don’t have that you can watch the YouTube video around the 2:45 mark for the no turn portion Vegan_Golfer_PNW, fixyurdivot, sirchunksalot and 2 others 5 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...

Popular Post sirchunksalot Posted July 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2021 We had an accident at the plant today, which I will cover in another thread, and I went to the range again today. I wanted to take some video, but my shirt flew up exposing my underbelly and I ain't posting that publicly. Worked on alignment, I sat a couple of alignment sticks down and am constantly amazed at how far right correct aim feels. My ball striking was decent with irons, though. Hit some fairway woods and was able to get about half of them to look good and topped the other half. Driver flew good, even for only decent strikes. I was focussed on hitting different parts of the ball to see if I could influence ball flight. I was hitting high on the face, but my results were mostly good. I did hit one that I pulled and another off the toe that ended up weakly drawing. I'll get back out this weekend if the weather permits and get some better video. I am disappointed this didn't turn out because I finally got the camera alignment right. edingc, bens197, fixyurdivot and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Working on complementing my fit for golf regimen with some speed drills on some off days. Luckily Mike Carol has some in his app that don’t need speedsticks. Will see if I make any progress in overall distance in the next 4-6 months.
