Got out for first time in a month.

I played 9 holes for the first time in about a month. I had put away all the toys to just take a break before starting my winter training.

The beautiful part about stack n tilt, once you are all in the swing just gets so simple. Literally, weight forward. Hands in...and release. if the ball contact isn't solid, I didn't get far enough forward.

I had one birdie and one bogey. Even par for 9.

How are you kids doing this winter?

Hello...new to this forum, just recently subscribed. We've been fortunate with our mild winter weather so far here in eastern PA (Allentown) having played 14 times in January. Looking to break our February streak starting tomorrow.

Welcome to this great forum community, @dennissilance54!!

Having grown up primarily in South Central PA, I can certainly appreciate your remarkable winter "streak". Hopefully that rodent in Punxsutawney delivers an early spring message tomorrow to carry you through the often-precarious weather months of February and March!

Well it's been freezing out here at PGA West. Daytime temps have been dipping down into the 60's some days, and it rained twice since December! The AMEX tourney was great. Oh, maybe I should stop there.

What a jerk! :)

I am going to start practicing this week. I think stepping away for a bit has been good. But, went out and lost money this weekend, so gotta start practicing so I don't start off year hemorrhaging money.

Glad to hear it @Russell Hogue, PhD .

I'm up today in Cheyne WY, a little better then down in Westminster, Co which is getting 5 to 10 inches today. But will be heading out shortly into that mess. Up here getting some too.

Definitely having withdrawals but will attempt indoor garange this next Wednesday.

Enjoy all that can!!!!!

Blessings!!!!!

hey @Russell Hogue, PhD . good weather to get out yesterday. Working in the basement with my BLP. Video discovered a few things I need to work on. My backswing felt good, video revealed the dreaded rolling of the hands, and on the downswing coming out of my posture a bit and flipping. So....I'll be doing some drills concentrating on those two things for now. Feel vs. Real is so real ;)

Gerry, post videos when you have a chance. Flipping is interesting. Pro’s have the same release motion we call a “flip”. Difference is when their hands make the motion, it’s after the ball is gone, vs before impact.

Using the hackmotion sensor made that incredibly obvious. My point is, the “flip” isn’t the worst thing in the world. In fact, if you make the exact same motion after impact, we would say it was a great swing. Bowed wrist. :)

That happens. My initial move to stack n tilt was really tough. After a bit it just clicked. Now my biggest issue is alignment which my setup really makes it more difficult than it should be.

I line up about 30 degrees open to my target line. My swing path feels like it’s 30 degrees right. In reality, my path is approximately 5 degrees in to out. But, my setup is for a purpose. I HATE the miss left. By lining up left, I know I have to swing out…if I don’t, she’s going left of left.
