How to add Width and be on Plane

I don't think I've met him, I thought he might play in the Palm Beach County Golf Association senior division tournaments.

He plays in some of the South Florida GA (I think that's right) one day events. Plays most of his golf at Jacaranda in the summer and wherever he can get a good deal in the winter.

I saw his name for FSGA, but he might have to work weekends too if he's at Dick's. I'll look for him in the FSGA when I play.... I have the Florida State 4-Ball today down by you at Pine Tree which is one of my favorite courses in Florida.

Unfortunately, I am not in FL. I live in the north west corner of Virginia (Shenandoah Valley).

Practiced a little today and seemed to get rid of any across the line I had with a little extra left arm rotation at top. Might stick with it and might not, hit it pretty good

[blehnhard]

Meant to wish you good luck for the tournament this weekend.

Thanks! We actually did pretty well today considering our total age is 95 which is more than double the age of most teams. I got lucky and eagled ? the 9th hole, our last hole of the day for a 65.

Nice finish to top off a good round. Go deep tomorrow.

First practice range session with the Right Angle 2 (set at half). At first, I had a little pain/awkwardness in my follow-through. I guess I'm used to folding my right arm at the end of my follow-through. Anyway, I quickly adjusted to that and I was rather surprised that, while wearing the RA2, I was able to hit solid full 6-iron shots (with ball speeds at my "peak", so to speak) more frequently. After I took it off, it was interesting how replicating the solid shots took more "attention" and was less reliable. Seems like, more swings with it on should help.

I did notice that I couldn't get that "peak" ball speed with the driver. Not sure if there's actually something different mechanically there, or if it's just a small-sample-size issue.

 

Of course, now my back is sore from taking too many range swings!

Try putting the RA2 on 3/4 setting with the driver and see what that does to your swing speed.

Well I broke down and ordered an RA2 along with a zfactor. I should be recieving it next week. I hope to add width as I've been told I am quite narrow. This is what my swing looks like prior hopefully o can get it somewhat respectable after RA2.

I’m not saying you can’t improve your backswing, but you look more narrow on the through swing than the backswing to me and need to work on your sequence. I only know my own swing from years of playing and don’t teach, but do yourself a favor and sign up for some online lessons with @iteachgolf, his online lessons are very, very reasonably priced for the level of instructor he is and I’ve studied the swings of a bunch of his students and love many of the swing characteristics they all have, so much so that I’m going to see him myself in person tomorrow. I’m not expecting a quick fix, but I’m looking to get out of some bad habits I got into after some serious hip injuries that caused me to groove a swing that protected them.

You're going to see him tomorrow!?!? Please report back how it went. Been thinking about driving up to see him.

@iteachgolf - got any openings for a lesson in the next week or 2 :)

Iteach has been on my radar for awhile; I will be doing some online lessons with him soon.

[97speedster]

I had an awesome lesson today with Dan Carraher (@iteachgolf)... seriously one of the best lessons I have ever had in 42 years of playing golf. I don't want to get in the details of what we worked on because it might help 2 guys while hurting 3, but I would highly recommend going to see him in person or doing online lessons with him.

During my lesson today where Dan got me to....

 

 

 

I don't have more time now because I want to do an hour of drills before it's too late.

Top of bs change is subtle, really looks good. Nice on plane at P6. Sometimes a subtle change can show big improvement.

[chigolfer1]

Looks great. Without giving too much away, did he only have you work on that end of the BS position or were there some other changes?

One great drill fixed all the things that have bothered me; hands, plane, face angle, pivot and release. Hence, a great lesson!

What’s right for one, is not right for all ?

I’ll make a video of the drill so it’s easy to understand and do correctly which is key, otherwise it can do more harm than good.

One of the major changes is ... no hat. Let the baldness shine!

[J13]

I've worked with Dan (Iteach) in person for 3 days and online. Topnotch and he knows the swing inside and out. Highly suggest him to anyone interested in getting better and learning more about the swing.

[Krt22]

Very nice position at the top

[Deadaimz]

Great work glad you had a great lesson!

[97speedster]

One of the purest swings on the PGA Tour (in my opinion)....
