Season 2, Lesson 9 - Swing Path Drill attempt 4 - JVGA

[@lllbailey]

I’m on the range right now. I sat into my left side on every swing. I’m hitting 90 % on my clubs better on line. Trying to figure out how and why it’s working and what would prevent it from working

Wheres the update on the swing? Have you taken it to the course yet? lol eager to see how its coming for ya

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. I'm uploading more of the videos from this winter's work right now. I signed up for the academy, and have been doing zoom lessons as well this spring/summer. I'm happy with where it's heading. For someone who started golf late in life, and is not a natural athlete, it's still a lot of work and commitment and trust required... but I'm pretty sure this is going to get me to my goals for this year.

Do you feel a more consistent swing following the principles of Jim or Moe?

[@golf7762]

I started with Jim at the very end of fall, and have just had a few rounds outdoors this spring (more videos to come), but my current assessment is: I did quite well off the tee with Moe, but had a very inconsistent strike with irons and wedges. I was unable to fix the "over swing", and while I thought it would be nice to checkpoint against positions & a model, it was difficult for me to transition that to ball striking. I had some immediate success with Jim after just watching some KZbin videos and doing my interpretation. For someone starting golf, I think the principles of of keeping weight in one place and trying to stay still lend itself to that. After starting instruction, I got very good with wedges, irons, and partial shots compared to my old swing. I went through a very dark period with hybrids/woods/driver (the most consistent smother hook you've ever seen, sadly totally unplayable), but stuck with it and am hitting nice draws as a stock shot now. I've been able to tame the "over swing". I'm still hitting it a bit shorter with driver/woods, but I've put almost 0 work into those clubs this winter, so I'm confident the distance will improve. TLDR - I feel I can hit the same shot over and over with Jim's swing. I'm still trying to optimize ball flight with longer clubs.

The only similarity I see is you are wearing clothing. Shoes ,maybe?

[@golf7762]

Yeah, but my choices in fashion are drastically different. Can you really say it's the same?
