Very nice practice today. Still working on impact today it all started to come together. 32 to 42 degrees of hip turn, Forward shaft lean. Dropping club into the slot, hands in front. it was only about half speed but it is the first day i have been able to get all four of those things working. i am not flipping the club but still need more work on holding the lag. But best day so far. This helped a lot.

It has been a while since I posted anything new. The holidays interrupted my lesson schedule and while I practicing I slipped back into some bad habits as I tried to get to impact. I turns out that most of my problems in getting to impact were caused by letting areas of my back swing slip. Most notable my hand position at the top. I was really laying the club of making it very hard for me to drop into the slot. My pro wants me to get more vertical at the top. so here is a link to the lesson and my swing after the lesson. Lesson Swing

At Last IMPACT Today's lesson we got to impact. It took me three lessons to get the first move hip slide and dropping hands into slot. Now we start working on the impact position. This will take a while. Mostly I need to turn the hips after the slide and keep my hands ahead of the club face. Easier said than done. Today's drill seem simple enough it is the three step hip turn drill with impact bag or ball. Golf Tec has all the bells and whistles. Today he set it up so a buzzer would go off when I hand turn my hips enough in this case 28 degrees at impact. Below is the videos of the lesson

The It has been awhile since my last post. With Thanksgiving and other things took me a while to make some new progress. Today was a break out practice session. Still working on bring the club down into the slot.  Was getting this ok but had no idea what to do from there looked at a couple of things that helped on line. The first was Great pics of the best long hitters in the game. I tired to get from the slot to those positions. Not that easy I decided that the problem was I had no idea what my right wrist was supposed to do during the swing this video from Herman Williams helped a lot. He also has it in a blog format. at As soon as I understood this stuff I was able to make get to impact with out flipping and with forward shaft lean and hips and shoulder open 20 + degrees. I still have a long way to go. Most swings I am missing one or two elements. But I am able to feel what I am doing. I have next lesson Tuesday so should get a full swing video posted.

Starting the first move down. It is a hip slide or bump here is a look at first swing and today's still images to compare.  Then all lessons are next.

Felling pretty good about progress so far.
