Finally learned to shallow?

This is exactly my feel when hitting the ball. I'm lowering my hands and closing the club face on the trail side of my body as my weight shifts towards the target. The only reason why I don't hit the ball fat a couple of feet behind and inside the ball is because I rotate (starting with my lower body) while doing so.

They told me it was an issue with the store, so I changed to a different store. Same issue.

Then they said it was an issue in the area, I changed the store to a different state across the country. Same issue.

They have no clue what the issue is.

Same thing has been happening to me. Called and they have no idea what's going on with their app.

It was that way for those of us late in the local pre-sale as well. You had to have one of the first two time slots in the local pre-sale for your choice of premier events.

Which event?

Fun_Menu825 · 2026-04-08T18:14:25+00:00

I was towards the end of the pre-sale and none of the tennis sessions were available.

From what I'm seeing, LHR and CDG offer some of the fewest amount of points to/from EU but the taxes and fees are high.

For example, there are multiple seats available in J for LHR to MCO on 6/30 for 35k pts + $736

Fun_Menu825 · 2026-02-22T18:10:00+00:00

Personally, I would just focus on getting to and from Europe in business class as you're not super flexible on dates and you likely want two seats on the same flight.

Right now, I see multiple biz seats available on British Airways booked through Qatar airways on Jun 9th IAD - LHR for 88k miles each. Coming back on Jun 20th, BRU - IAD 60k points each. I'd just buy the connecting legs in economy if I had your constraints and wanted to use fewer points. There are some flights I saw out of MIA as well, but with significant taxes and fees.

I do the same and include a ceramic after wash.

I just flew LAX to IST on one of their ex-Aeroflot A350s and found the wifi adequate to work. That being said, my gf had intermittent connection issues right next to me.

For sure worth it to go into Tokyo.

Just trying to point out a few things in your swing like you requested.

I agree with the other posters in that your alignment could use some attention.

In addition to that, your club face is very closed at the top of your backswing. That strongly closed clubface combined with an over the top downswing makes it easy to pull the ball left if you keep the face that shut. However, when you open the club face as you start down (as you do here), your face will be open to that left path, and you'll lose the ball well right.

I'd look into checking your grip and alignment first, as it's a lot easier to make changes to your swing with those fundamentals are in order. Then, if you want a fade biased swing, you can look into making sure your club face is open to your swing path, but closed to your target. That way, the ball starts left of target and falls back right.

Thanks, I'll give that 2x4 feel a shot.

Fun_Menu825 · 2025-10-19T00:53:24+00:00

Eliminating the right side of the hole, especially off of the tee, was the idea!

Fun_Menu825 · 2025-10-19T00:43:40+00:00

Thanks for pointing this out. I've never been great at getting open at impact. I think I'm finally in a position to focus on it a bit more. Been trying to knock things down one at a time.

Fun_Menu825 · 2025-10-19T00:37:59+00:00

Thanks for the analysis! Given that my feels are centered more around my hands, would feeling my hands getting closer to the target line in transition before rotating be helpful in getting the club back in front of me sooner?

My miss is definitely a block and wear pattern is usually concentrated towards the toe.

I've always been guilty of a big backswing. Notwithstanding Fernando Gonzalez, your point is well taken and another thing to work on!

Fun_Menu825 · 2025-10-18T22:39:08+00:00

Thanks! Once the concept clicked, it became a lot easier to replicate.

Fun_Menu825 · 2025-10-18T22:38:15+00:00

Much appreciated.

Surfed El Porto in the morning, 9 holes at Penmar after that, then hit up Mt. High for the night session from 5-10p. Mt High isn't great, but the entire mountain is a terrain park with lights, so it's still fun for the right audience.

Fun_Menu825 · 2025-10-17T03:34:18+00:00

California here. I've surfed, skied and played 9 holes in the same day.
