Tilden Park Golf Course has a great training area that I sometime hit in the morning after dropping Kristen off at work.<\/p>\n<p>Comparing this video to last season I see quite a few improvements. First, my main priority this year has been hinging my wrists. I am definitely doing that, this has yielded benefits in distance (250 yd carry on driver now), club face control, and just a looser easier swing. I think my balance looks way better now also, I don&#8217;t ever end up on my back foot anymore. My slow-pitch softball pitch swing thought seems to have worked.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of improvement, my ball striking and swing path need work. When hitting at the range I&#8217;ve been tracking my club face impact points. Especially with the driver I&#8217;ve been all over the face, usually out of the crown almost.\u00a0My lateral body shift is not helping me find the center of the face. Right-leg is really moving at impact also. Quieter body will be my drill. With my wedges I&#8217;ve noticed this has the nice by-product of moving my swing path more down the target line.<\/p>\n<p>My follow through looks super-awkward. No\u00a0hinging on the follow through (release)? I&#8217;m going to do some slow-mo swing drills and try to recreate my wrist-hinge on the follow-through that I feel on the backswing now. This might even help with quieting my body.<\/p>\n<p>This old Mark Crossfield video is a great example of the type of quiet lower body, steady head I want to aspire to:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jwP6RNosJws\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jwP6RNosJws<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Improvements:<br \/>\n+ wrist hinge<br \/>\n+ balance way improved<\/p>\n<p>Needs work, how:<br \/>\n&#8211; shifting laterally to the rear quite a bit, quiet lower body<br \/>\n&#8211; follow through looks awkward<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t been playing nearly as much this year, nor have I taken a lesson since last Christmas, but on course I have been playing pretty darn well considering.
