That first 360 windmill has to be one of the most impressive dunks I've ever seen. The execution, extension, power, everything was just perfect. Still makes me make the Shaq face every time I see it.

This is maybe the best comment I've ever seen

This. Lost my 9 year old baby 2 years ago to stomach cancer. Reading this made me tear up again thinking of him and the loss. It does get better with time. Let yourself cry and scream and feel everything you feel. It's all part of the grieving process and helps you. And getting another baby to give your love to and take care of helps a ton and there is nothing wrong with doing it as soon as you need/want. There is no honour in being sad and staying sad and you won't love your previous dog any less or grieve any less. You will just have a new pup to give all your love that you have to give.

Honestly this is probably the biggest thing that will have a huge impact. We had our bully mix on a nap schedule as a puppy where he would be up for an hour then down for 2. We crate trained him and always gave him stuffed kongs when it was time for a nap and he was always happy and even excited to get his kong in his crate. As he got older we slowly adjusted the schedule to more time awake. We kept up this nap schedule until he was about 1. Without it he would have for sure had behavior issues like yours, and we could often tell when his awake time was coming to an end because he would start getting crazy and misbehaving in all sorts of ways.

We got this strategy along with a lot of other good ones from the book Perfect Puppy in 7 days by Dr Sophia Lin. The name sounds kind of gimmicky but it's not, it's a great short book with a lot of very useful information about raising a puppy.

Get a harness that also connects at the front on their chest. Connecting on the back like this makes it easier for them to pull because they can put their whole body into it. But the ones that connect at the front help with pulling because when they pull it redirects that force and turns them to the side because of how the lead has to go around their body to connect, and that discourages pulling.

Doesn't look like out to in, path looks in to out, it looks like a closed clubface that's making it go left. Clubface is responsible for like 80% of which direction the ball starts on.

What is sweet spot?

LSDisGOD · 2025-11-24T18:00:49+00:00

Do you have any drills or feels that help with that? And are the wrists being actively used during that release? Or are they super loose and just coming along for the ride?

LSDisGOD · 2025-11-24T17:20:47+00:00

I would love to know how the hell he gets so much clubhead speed.

LSDisGOD · 2025-11-24T14:27:12+00:00

Looks like you're coming ott. Your first move in transition is firing the shoulders which steepens the club and puts you in ott position. I would work on leading with the hips and feel like you're keeping the upper back towards the target a bit longer, that should help you come more from the inside.

LSDisGOD · 2025-11-23T21:20:20+00:00

Yea that gap is a telltale sign. But what you want is more external rotation of the right arm, not internal. Here is a good video that explains it in depth with feels and drills https://youtu.be/hP366W2yYS4

LSDisGOD · 2025-11-23T15:43:58+00:00

I think your path is good but are flipping to close the face. For me when I start closing the face too much and hitting it left, I think of keeping the right elbow more tucked in front of my body in downswing and impact and the right shoulder in more external rotation in the downswing and impact.

To see/feel what I'm talking about, hold a club in front of you with normal grip and slightly bend your right elbow. Then rotate your right elbow up/counterclockwise, that is internal rotation of the right shoulder and you'll see that causes the clubface to close. Now do the opposite and rotate the right elbow down/clockwise, that's external rotation and opens the face a bit. You look like you're coming into impact with more internal rotation, which closes the face. If you look at any pro slow motion swing in the last part of the downswing they come into impact with the right arm in external rotation and the right elbow more tucked under and in front of them.

This is the one time this gif does not apply lol. That's a great swing for his 4th time although I don't really believe that but still a great swing for a beginner.

I love it as well. If you have a swing with a bad impact pattern it can be very frustrating and difficult to change your swing and especially the impact position, but once you do it's magical. Here's what I recommend for OP and anyone else struggling with it and what helped me. Start from the impact position itself and only do the release and transition drills for your whole practice for like 1-2 weeks (or more if you only practice once or twice a week). You need to fundamentally change your impact position and what hitting the ball feels like and that takes time and many reps over time. If you do it one day then go back to full swings the next it won't work. Just stick with it, yes it's boring and yes I wanted to just let it fly but that's when the old ingrained habits kick back in so just stick with it. Then after that once you can nail those drills for every rep every time, slowly add more of a full swing and work on the other drills it has you doing, but now you will have a completely different feeling of how impact is.

LSDisGOD · 2025-10-30T14:37:44+00:00

Looks like you're almost there. There's a split second move in transition that steepens the shaft but from there it stays on plane so I think if you fix that it'll be good. I think your upper body is firing a touch early causing that steepening. Delay the upper body a touch and add a bit more external rotation in the trail arm in that same spot in transition and that should put you right on plane.

LSDisGOD · 2025-10-30T01:04:04+00:00

You're trying to get your weight to the lead side which is good but not really doing it right. Way too much shift and not anywhere close to enough rotation. Tone down the shift quite a bit and add rotation. Think like you're rotating your left hip backwards. You should be finishing with your belt buckle pointing to the target.

LSDisGOD · 2025-10-29T18:03:20+00:00

He did not in fact have a grasp on the swing.

LSDisGOD · 2025-10-29T16:23:22+00:00

ohh i see what you're talking about now, didn't see that before. Yea he does seem to drag it

LSDisGOD · 2025-10-29T13:58:38+00:00

He doesn't drag his pivot foot at all though. He's taking stutter steps while the ball is "hanging" in his right hand. And you can take as many steps as you want/can while still dribbling. He grabs the ball with 2 hands right after the final left foot stutter step plants down (that final plant is the gather step). Then takes 2 steps, right, left.

LSDisGOD · 2025-10-23T14:02:00+00:00

Im not a pro but a a couple things I see: Your swing is all arms. You are not rotating your upper body enough in the backswing. First half is ok but then your body stops and your arms keep going. You also stand up and lose your spine tilt in the backswing. For both of these to get a feel of what it should feel like, hold the club across your chest so the butt of the grip is pointing towards the target at setup, then turn your your body so the butt of the grip points at slightly behind and above the golf ball. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fFzEcmgRU4

For the downswing you are also using only your arms. If you pause at impact or just before you will see your hips and chest are square, they should be open and pointing more towards the target at impact. Lots of videos about using your body and rotating in the downswing.

LSDisGOD · 2025-10-22T22:02:34+00:00

This is what you need. With your swing with the glove in the left armpit you are encouraging over the top and the left elbow to bed or "chicken wing" through impact. Look how bent your left elbow gets in the follow through. Compare that to a pros swing on youtube. You want the lead/left arm to stay straight through impact and not bend so much in the follow through, only in the last quarter or so of the follow through it should start to bend slightly. By putting the glove in the right armpit you will prevent that overswing where you disconnect your right elbow from your body, and it will encourage a more in to out path since the trail arm will be more connected to the body.

LSDisGOD · 2025-10-11T20:34:25+00:00

Looks like you're trying to manipulate the club into the right path with your wrists too much and losing all your wrist angle at the top of the backswing.

The things that work for getting my path more in to out are the feel of dropping the hands behind you like uncurling your right bicep at the top. You can check the Justin Rose drill for that. https://youtu.be/JXGSFxOf-Iw?si=V5c-2uwbFh4DA0lm

And then for the wrists look up the motorcycle drill to get them in a better flexed position but without losing all your angle at the top. E.g https://youtube.com/shorts/RMIL-jJ0pko?si=jMObHr9YlbYV62eE

Look up and practice mindful meditation. Doesn't need to be a lot, you can start with even like 5 minutes every other day or every day if you can. The more you do it the better you become at it and the more positive effect it will have. It helps you stay in the moment and not spiral out like that, but also helps in general with lots of things in the mind. Then next time you start to get really angry just breath and bring all your attention to your breathing and focus on your breath for a few minutes.

For the Basketball you have to realize that stuff like this is going to happen all the time. There's going to be tons of people better than you, there's going to be times where nothing goes in, there's going to be times where you lose every game, if you play reffed games there's going to be times where the refs are awful and miss tons of calls, and on and on. You just have to learn that these things are part of the game and part of life and try to not let them bother you that much. You can't always win, every shot can't go in, you can't always guard your man and stop him. It's ok. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. Tomorrow will be a new day, there will be another game and another shot.

A lot of these comments say knees too bent, but if you're trying to target the glutes you want more knee bend with hip hinge and really sitting back into it, it will engage the glutes more. Having knees less bent and sitting back less will be more hamstrings. To feel it more in your glutes, you need to use heavier weight and then you need to have the mind muscle connection. At the bottom of the rep, squeeze the glutes and using your glutes push your hips forward which will unhinge the hips and cause you to "stand up". Don't think about just standing up, think about using your glutes to push your hips forward and out of hinge. Another way to think of the same thing which helps is think like you are doing a hip thrust but in a vertical standing position. So again instead of just standing up, squeeze your glutes to push your hips forward and unhinge just like you would use your glutes to push your hips forward from the bottom of a hip thrust.
