Been able to start swinging again. While injured, I had been working on some feels and drills without a club. I still have to fight the inside takeaway. If I don't specifically focus on it, it comes back.

Looks good.  I can definitely see the Monte influence.

These days, still recovering from my injury so not hitting too many balls. Working on better body awareness of what things should feel like at points in the swing, like where my hands should be at the top of the swing, how my wrist should be angled, etc. This is important for me because what "feels" like a laid off position at the top is actually in-line with the target, and what feels like is in-line with the target is over the line. That's one example.

I made an important self-discovery regarding my backswing. The problem was my inside takeaway as confirmed by my coach, and I was given clear instruction on what I was doing wrong and what the correct movement is, along with some drills. So my brain understood what I should be doing, but there was some sort of translation lost because my body wasn't repeatedly able to do what I was telling it to do. The self-realization I had was that I was telling my arms to do the wrong thing. I had thought that in order to not takeaway to the inside my arms needed to swing straight back. The realization that I had is that if I swing my arms what i think is straight back, but combine that with a pivot, that is precisely an inside takeaway combining those two pieces together. That realization really was a huge light bulb.

Here is my latest swing, some of you may have already seen it in the Practice thread.

I never thought this would happen to me, but my path is now coming too far from the inside and i am hitting shots dead right. According to my coach it is because my right shoulder is dipping in the downswing. This is the next thing I need to work on fixing and so far finding it hard to not do it.

You still working with Alex via skillest?

Some general curiosity questions for research on the app. If so how do you like the app and communication via the app? Does he have a timeframe/limit for how many vids or communication you get before he considers it another lesson?

Not working with Alex anymore, been working with Monte again. A lot of that decision came down to cost of the Skillest subscription. I could afford it but didn't feel like I could continue to get the value out of for the monthly price, compared to having periodic lessons with Monte. Also, Skillest prices are going higher and higher for the most popular instructors.

In general, the app works well from a communication standpoint, keeps everything in one place, easy to refer back to prior lessons, prior conversations, etc. If you are on a subscription plan, then every video submission is considered a lesson, but since the subscription is unlimited, you can submit as many as you want.

Cool. Monte is good. I’ve looked over a couple of his video series and some of his YouTube stuff.

Thanks for the feedback on the app

Think my swing is looking and feeling better now, probably the best it has been. Realized that my grip had gotten super sloppy, too much in the palm of the left hand. That had resulted in me doing things with my wrists that I didn't want to happen. Cleaned up my grip.

Now that my backswing is in a better spot, the next thing that i am focused on cleaning up is the root cause of right hip early extending. My right shoulder is dipping too much in the downswing and that combined with how my right hip is moving is causing the early extension. Working on cleaning this up but this one will definitely not be a quick fix.

Not sure is in your working with Monte if you have bought either the new no turn cast or have his efficient swing videos. He talks about this in those with pressure and added knee flex in the lead leg along with left shoulder down.

Yep, i have all of those videos. Trying to find which drill/feel will work best for me. Have tried a few and they don't result in the change i am trying to make. Its like my body and old ways are fighting to do what i am telling it to do, even at a slow drill speed. Currently trying the feel of my left shoulder/arm moving off my chin/chest as the intent on the downswing and its helping some but still getting used to that feel.

Yeah swing changes and getting the body to make a change takes a lot of work. As you know from monte’s no turn video he talks about doing each segment in slow motion and separately to train. 
 

The different drills in the efficient swing are good because he does have options to find what works/makes sense to someone.

Swing from today, attempting to fix the dipping right shoulder that is resulting in early extension. Swing thought is first move down is to separate the left arm from the chest.

Thanks man. Besides being better technically, it also feels a lot more efficient. Before my swing felt like it required a lot of physical effort, most of that was unnecessary and/or bad moves.

Or could be shoes and/or camera angle but it looks like you don’t get into heel of right foot and toes of left foot in the backswing and vice versa. This is something I have to be conscious of in my swing and causes me to end up not rotating in the downswing and have similar tendency to what you mentioned about early extension. Look at monte’s toe/heel video in the efficient swing series.

Your takeaway and backswing has really improved. Good work on that.

Thanks. For sure I know my pressure isn't right heel, left toes. Something to work on, will take a look at the Monte video.

One thing that i have learned as part of this journey is about how i learn. Once my instructor provides feedback and gives me something to work on to fix and some drills/feels to work on, i have to sort of go through a self-discovery process to be able to implement the change. The drills help me to initially understand how something should feel, but for me to make something repeatable, i need to create my own understanding of what my brain should think and what my body should feel to execute the correct movement. It usually takes a quirky thought unique to me that I come up with that ends up making something stick.

One thing that i have learned as part of this journey is about how i learn. Once my instructor provides feedback and gives me something to work on to fix and some drills/feels to work on, i have to sort of go through a self-discovery process to be able to implement the change. The drills help me to initially understand how something should feel, but for me to make something repeatable, i need to create my own understanding of what my brain should think and what my body should feel to execute the correct movement. It usually takes a quirky thought unique to me that I come up with that ends up making something stick. 

This can be the hardest part is being able to work through all this to get to something that sticks and works for you. Glad it feels like you have been able to figure out those moves. Trust me I get those odd feels when learning to play I had to convince myself that I was 'not using my wrists' in my swing, which was a lie but that it was got a flat wrist at the top instead of cupping it.

I’ve had a few coaches that have said the same thing to me but in different ways and it clicked from one but not the other. I’m doing online lessons this past year that was probably the hardest part compared to in person. In person they can say something ask if you understand if not they can try to say it differently, where online it might take a couple conversations to get the concept

For me, its usually some sort of unique thought/feel that really only makes sense to me that makes something stick. For the longest time, i couldn't get rid of the inside takeaway. I could perform various drills and make it work for the swings during those drills, but couldn't get it to stick at all. I finally discovered that to not take it away inside, i feel like i am lifting my right arm only about 45 degrees straight out in front of me. Thats really the only thing I actively feel until i get to the top of the backswing. I don't feel like i am actively turning or anything (but not trying to restrict the turn either). This thought probably won't make sense or work for others, but its the thought in my brain that gets by body to do what it is supposed to do.
