I bought a component hybrid and cheap shaft and making some mods to my set, like reducing half my clubs to force me to use more club and forego the use of the driver for accuracy. Now I just need a swing to go with all that.

"Shirtsleeve" swing technique:

1. Setup: Elbows bent forearms pressed together against shaft slightly forward of center with "Hogan" "active/flexed" leg tension left foot turned out slightly and the right leg slightly farther to the right - weight mostly on balls of feet butt of left hands sits on the top of the grip with very light grip.

2. Swing - W/o disturbing weight distribution of legs and feet lower hands while doing a forward press "swing trigger" then the left upper arm takes over on the backswing, it needs to go out in front of the body then back in front of the chest as the hands trace down initially then up to over the right shoulder "Torres". The goal is to not disturb the pressure of the feet during the initial takeaway.

 

Notes:

1. Only swing thought after swing trigger - extend left arm at shirt sleeve when reaching left hand over right shoulder "Shirtsleeve technique".

2. The upper left arm move "Shirtsleeve technique" can be practiced independently without a club, sitting down for instance

3. The correct feet tension can be felt by doing very short hops on the balls of the feet then holding the same feeling of pressure on the front of the feet and then taking three practice swings with the grip very loose in order to not disturb the same pressure on the feet and on the 3rd swing actively do the "Shirtsleeve" move. From there the swing should be done within a matter of seconds to not lose the feel of the legs resisting, this way this is not a learned technique as much as it is a setup technique.

New GP TW grips for my back up set of clubs, and an ACCRA TZ6 for my back up driver M4. Sometimes being custom fit and seeing the optimum numbers takes a HO out of the game. LOL

PXG with the heroes program, the Fastback 20% off from Dick’s, shoes were 40% off from Adidas and the Costco putter because I have a problem buying new golf gear.

I have sold a set of Nike Vapor Fly irons and a T22 Cameron. The Proto X+ driver looks to be a winner so a Sim will be showing up on BST.

90800c92-ac9b-439e-9b10-5704905f2d64.jpegPosted this in the Method thread, but figured I’d post here too. I officially got my naked b2|01 origin today from Dallas Golf and I’m so happy with my purchase and their service. They basically helped customize this to my exact spec, from L/L/L to shaft and grip, and not because I asked but because they wanted it to be the exact putter I wanted. Can’t recommend them enough, totally in love with their customer service as much as I am this putter and will be going to them a bunch in the future.

Aside from sending the Parallax out for a total rebuild (which should be done and on the way back to me any day now), I finally pulled the trigger on a Vessel Cart Bag with the logo for the golf technology company I'm building embroidered on the pocket.

For no real reason other than "I want one."
