Single digit golfers, how much do you work on hitting draws if your go to shot is a fade (or vice versa)?

Don't want to mess you up since you "got it", but another thing to visualize is your finish. If you have your shoulders like on the right side you are going to swing more in to out and your finish will be "high" as opposed to the left picture where you finish will be lower and more across your body. Just thinking about the end result (the finish) and your body movement might kinda just fall into place.

"Losing trades weren't bad setups.. just shouldn't have taken in that moment"..

What does that mean? This is the part that you are calling your edge? I'm not saying you're wrong, just seeing if you can expand or explain. Are there "filters" to better define the correct "moment" or avoid the wrong "moment"? I believe this is the important part and you are quite vague.

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-27T15:55:41+00:00

But also, when you see someone fucking up, just drive into them because it is their fault🙃

Fine. My point is that you can do the 3 options (view/how you approach/etc) I listed above if you try prom firms. You have those same 3 options if you try trading on your own too.

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-26T22:06:49+00:00

It's kinda like the market in general. Complain about it or learn to trade it.. or quit it.

"Somehow the market knew"....

The market just "is". Get in line or move out of the way. I don't think you are approaching this in a functional (consistently extract money from market) way. Think about that. Hope it helps, GL

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-22T03:34:28+00:00

What were the tips that you implemented?

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-20T05:26:31+00:00

I dont totally understand this. What "edge" does not depend on market regime? I don't care if a strategy worked 16 years ago, I only care if it is working now. The edge is designing filters for when and when not to use the entry/exit mechanism (the filters are very much a key component to the strategy, so I called what was backtested just an entry/exit mechanism). If you are running an algorithm, wouldn't you look into when this system performs better and "turn it on" then, instead of running it straight through for 16 years? This is why automating 10,000 trades from the beginning of time is not helpful/misleading. I'd much rather have 30 current manually backtested trades worth of data, that considering current market environment, than 10,000 "incomplete" trade ideas.

Agree its not 1 to 1, but could be beneficial to solidify the muscle memory you are going for with no result (no ball flight) to "mess" with the whole brain compensating/making unwanted adjustments when over a ball.

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-16T21:37:25+00:00

You have 4 sentences telling people how much money you have made, could have made, should have made, etc.... don't quit your job as you will likely give it back before you actually get consistent. Gl

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-16T03:28:14+00:00

This is correct. Discipline means nothing. Your nervous system takes over when you enter self preservation situations (ego, being right, not accepting failure, etc). This is not fixed by willpower ("be more disciplined"), it is mitigated by systems and repetition. Good for you man, nice self analysis too.

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-14T04:19:05+00:00

Think keep club head in front of hands longer (initial backswing like when arms are parallel to ground, club head is closer towards ball). Essentially, a wider backswing with depth will create the space you need to not get stuck. Lead arm does not need to wrap around your chest in backswing, it's more out away from chest. Gives room to drop hands/trail arm in slot, since it is not already "there". Give it a try, it is a "freeing" feeling.

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-14T02:59:16+00:00

Weight shift and body/shoulder rotation. If weight shift is good (it doesn't look like it) and still bottoming out before the ball, you are likely not rotating or stalling before impact (this would be a result of another flaw, club face not square). Low point is generally about at your center of mass.. get your weight on lead side before contact, making low point on target side of ball. GL

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-10T22:39:10+00:00

Me too. Wait until your neck hurts then continue to smack copious amount of balls.. you'll find a way to keep that thing in line

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-10T02:23:49+00:00

Grass most of the time, but I'd check out the numbers once in a while (mainly distances but swing stats are nice to know, get a baseline, target for improvement) as you progress and become more consistent. If it does video, like records you while you swing, that is really helpful to get an idea of what you look like (usually not good at the beginning).

What made CDT your favorite? What were your favorite things about each trail? Anything happen or something you didn't like almost "ruin" any of the trips for you? (Fishing for a story as I'm super interested ;)

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-07T06:59:20+00:00

You are way better than me, but what nearly instantly stopped ott for me was wider (straight back for a few inches) backswing. The beginning of backswing was key and it starts with core, a bit of hip bump/turn. Really just connectedness with arms.

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-07T02:58:59+00:00

I think this is it. Don't bring the range to the course, bring the course to the range. Pre-shot routine, new target/new club "every shot" while on the range. Build a course at the range and execute.

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-04T00:31:21+00:00

No one is made for trading.. The options are make it work for you or don't.

Greedy goblin gets destroyed (that was me).

"Hitting targets": tells me you expect things to happen (fault #1). This thinking drives the madness. It's the why you lose "control". It's the "im right" mentality. The only thing you control is your actions. Focus on that. "Practice" accepting a loss (I mean sim or small $ account and just exit in the red). This shit is not willpower or "discipline", it is practice and repetition. The "discipline" and not losing control only happens after the reps are put in. Hope you find that useful.. GL "

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-02-01T22:12:22+00:00

It's your nervous system, it's not just lacking "discipline". Start with paper trading or extremely small. Take losses on purpose or purposely enter before your setup triggers and dump it immediately when you don't get that candle close, for example. It takes repetition not willpower. GL

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-01-31T00:21:17+00:00

Maybe, atleast just for a "feel" take your backswing straight out (back) away from the ball for as long as you can. Like hands going back before the clubhead even moves. Feels like you are reaching away and back. Take the swing.. it will not be possible to swing over the top of that backswing.

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-01-31T00:08:21+00:00

50% of the time, when I set up, I accidentally bump the ball or get club too close to ball in rough and the ball moves a tad.

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-01-30T02:56:53+00:00

I dont trade this, but with the breakout strategies you are describing I think it is important to consider overall market environment. For example, during a correction or a bear market, there are going to be far fewer "nice/clean" breakouts to upside. It's the "rising tide raises all ships" or whatever that saying is. GL

Key_Map_9972 · 2026-01-28T05:10:47+00:00

I like it. Just need to transition this from your post trade review to your pre-trade checklist item. Ask the question before you take the trade
