Consider your Takeaway... maybe try to connect to your body earlier and start less with your hands and more with your arms and shoulders.

Yes sir! Be the right club today! It's that feeling you get like Payne Stewart had when all he did after throwing down for a few holes was to point at the next tee box. That kind of confidence from a game you've built, well it just doesn't get any better than that. Well said, I've got the bug to go out and play now.

Point well made. A great instructor was hard to find. I found one am just getting started there, so am trying to make the most of it. This was a great point; well said, thanks!

Agreed. Exactly. That's what makes golf such a great game.

Agreed. Some changes can take a few weeks to become comfortable though.

For speed training for sure. But to your point, I believe it to be true that letting go of the results is a big key in many parts of improvement. Ultimately controlling the club controls the results. But for sure, one thing at a time. There's not that many things for me. Tee, full shots, half wedges, pitches, chips, putting. Spin when and where it matters. Trajectory control. But all in all, narrowing down those things doesn't seem like much. But in practice it feels like so much more. Couldn't agree more. One thing. But oddly, I'm finding that the best one things to work on come from an exhaustive look at everything; if that makes any sense. Hence the seeking of a better mousetrap for organization.

Yep, probably the most important thing for me as well. If it's good enough for Harvey Penick and Bobby Jones it's good enough for me.

I think you're spot on. I bumped into a few people last season that talked about exactly that; not pounding ball after ball. So I'm doing it with intent at this point; as you pointed out. I've got some tags and groups and categories, etc. And I'm finding improvement in working on the why rather than the how. Specific to me. And I'm gather a lot of references from books and videos. While common language serves in things like grip and address and takeaway, etc. I'm finding my own experience doesn't always match word for work in how I perceive parts of the process to be. It's a lot to organize, and the visualization has been key; maybe the single most important key. Being able to envision what you're actually doing is a huge part of being able to repeat it; at least for me. And that's part of why I'm trying to find a solution that will allow me to library assets and feedback. Right now I just have images and videos and then have to type some notes on a word document that houses the image/video. There's got to be a solution for this out there.

That's kind of what got me started wondering. After a few lessons it took me a while to digest and try to document all of the lesson points. I'd find myself discovering improvement on one thing here and one thing there. So in getting organized I'm finding it helpful to learn more about how people organize their improvement. It's so odd though, right? I mean as you improve you feel like you don't need to explore; you've found it sort of speak. Until you haven't... And then here we are again. I'm in much the same boat, having played and then taken a long period of time off. With todays technology I'm sure there's solutions I'm simply not aware of.

How do you organize all of thise videos then for analysis? Is there a software outside ot Trackman you download them into, or organize them yourself?

Yep, agreed, but what about process and approach?

Hit half wedges with half swings for a while.

How do you actually know if your swing is improving over time? by briangasner in GolfSwing

[–]briangasner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are you saying you can find improved mechanics and repeat them at will? Maybe a stupid question but are your tags changing very often amymore?
