You'll get it with more practice, that's just timing of the release. I would recommend using a tee with irons to start off, just to get your timing down, then later in the practice session hit off the ground. For me, it works when I'm working on something new, just to get the timing and feel for it, then later in the practice session go "for real" PSR, specific target, and execute.

All in all though, you changed your swing pretty dang quick so just keep working and give it time. You'll get the release too, it's just the timing will be a little different without the sway, I know because I was a "swayer". Think about it this way, because your turning around your spine(center axis) better with less lateral movement the club will come into the ball more shallow and from the inside more, hence the starting left going left. Because when we're steep, we have to hold on or you get the dreaded quacker LOL.

PS: I only know how to play the game not break the swing down so take what I say with a handful of Mediterranean Sea Salt LOL

LOL!!! Reasy, I'm not ever gonna quit, I'll chase the dream til' I achieve it!! I need to get my arse back on the range, Pigs is gonna whoop my hiney with all the progress he's making!! Great stuff Judge, and as always thank you for your knowledge and guidance!! You've really helped me A LOT and instilled confidence in my swing and game. In due time I'll be out there, ready to take on the big boys. I'm just wood shedding, you know like when Rocky goes to the mountains to train LOL!!

Looking good Pigems!

My swing felt good out there today, didn't even have to think much about it after the first few holes. I played around with face angle at address to try to stop the balls leaking out left and I think I may have found a spot that works. I tried different variations of closing the face at address, too much and the ball turns over to a draw but when I find the sweet spot I get a nice med/high fade which is what I prefer. These latest swing changes may have been the final Brick Reasy, my swing by "feeling" very smooth a natural right now and doesn't require a lot of thought to pull off. I'm really liking it right now and with a few more range sessions I think I can really dial in this new stuff. I'm feeling confident sir, TYVVM again Coach

I think I posted this previously in another of your threads, or maybe earlier in this one, but I love the simplicity and effectiveness of your swing. Just looks clean and efficient.

TYVM sir, that means a lot coming from you

I played hockey and baseball growing up so swinging things has always come pretty natural to me. My dad had also built a batting cage in our back yard and we spent hours and hours out there practicing, I bet I hit thousands of baseball's before the age of 14. I just wish my dad had of been into golf instead lol.

Well, it appears you've made the transition to golf pretty well. I know a few guys with baseball background who struggle with golf, even though you'd think the motion is generally the same. They joke about the fact that the ball is stationary being the problem. Hockey players seem to do better though.

I agree, the baseball and golf swing seem very similar. In fact I had a little swingpiffany about the release while watching Ken Griffey Jr highlights a couple weeks ago lol. I've never had any trouble with hitting the ball, just trouble with where it went after that lol. Until I met Coach Reasy and we started dialing my swing in last year.

Ball players all played Tee ball as kids didn't they??

Got a few new swing on video yesterday, only simulator swings though. BUT the Groundhog didn't see his shadow today so spring is oooon the way!! :)
