Thread: What Are You Working On?

im working on winter golf... cant seem to get the hang of it

Putting, chipping around the green pitching around the green from within 50 yards iron approach within 150 yards fairway shots driver other then that not too much. but most of my practice is on my short game to one putt and putting.

Completing the backswing. I've got to make sure my back is close to facing the target at the top of my backswing. And as always I'm trying to figure out a putting style that fits my game, and keep my short game in check.

It really helps when I do #1 and makes doing this much easier. ^ This, especially with longer clubs, is paying dividends right now.

Picked up on something today that I've worked on earlier this year. It was pointed out to me at a swing check from TMO here on this site. One of the big problems with my swing is that I accelerate the arms when I'm turning in the backswing. This has contributed to a move over the top and reverse pivot. I've been working on weight shift, but didn't get the hang of it until I thought about my arms at the top. They really...

I was working on all sorts of crap. Now I'm just working on getting my downswing sequencing correct. Everything else seems incidental now. With putting, I'm working on staying hot. Literally, it feels warm and quiet when I start putting well. Not a lot of work on chipping. That's not a part of my game that's holding me back at the moment. Maybe when I drop a few strokes....

I'm not entirely sure how to phrase this, but I'm working on pre-setting my hips, in order to encourage a turn (vs slide). Essentially, I'm now setting up to the ball, making a minor turn with my hips, then doing what I used to do for my swing. The results - and it's only been two days - have been positive: my hooks are less, especially with the longer clubs. And my drives have gone from neutering the short stop to high...

Back to the thing I should have got right to start with: my grip. I used to curl my right fingers around the grip and press my thumb against the right side of the shaft. Working on getting my pointer in that hook shape and my thumb on the left side of the shaft, forming a V towards my right shoulder. Was able to see results with my old grip, but I'd often slice my driver and hybrid pretty hard. This grip change has made all the...

I make a new swing breakthrough about once a week.

working on follow through positions right now
