Practice failure

Thanks for quick and detailed reply.I will now work on swing in order which is really what I should have done.

Welcome to this great forum community, @michael.may40!

Sorry for your range experience, though I commend you on stopping your session as you did. Let's start with a common issue for golfers who are just starting to learn this swing system. The chapters, lessons, and drills that comprise the course curriculum are not randomly ordered; they are designed to be taken sequentially from the beginning. Regardless of a member's skill level, this swing necessitates a complete reboot for someone transitioning from a shift & lift swing (which is typically the case), and therefore it is imperative that one take sufficient time to ensure that the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters are mastered. From the ground up there is nothing superfluous in the Stack & Tilt swing - in other words, everything with a purpose, and a purpose for everything. (For example, contrary to shift and lift where you may be taught to keep your trail foot perpendicular to the target line as a means of "creating resistance" in your trail side, in S&T we flare both feet out 10-20 degrees in order to facilitate a free flowing, inclined hip and shoulder turn.) I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built.

I certainly understand the motivation and excitement to get out there and hit balls, but 3/4 swings are very close to full shots for someone who is brand new to this system. If you are confident that you've worked properly through the base-building lessons and have mastered the foundational elements contained therein, then you may wish to consider a V1 Swing Video Analysis* so I can put my eyes on your swing and offer some very specific diagnostics and recommendations. Otherwise, exercise some patience with the process and with yourself - it will pay great dividends in the long run!

*The V1 Swing Video Analysis Lesson is an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis on this page of the Saguto.Golf site.
