Ater finally breaking 80 earlier this year and getting down to a single digit handicap range I began a major months long slump. I became incredible inconsistent and my scores ballooned. Struggling to break 100 and losing half a dozen balls a round frustration. I know that part of this was due to not practicing as much and spending too much time on YouTube watching tips which would take me down rabbit holes. Bottom line was I was getting away from the basics of Stack and Tilt.
I went back to basics but I wanted to share a few videos/feels that have gotten me back to where I was earlier this year:
Hogan Arms-I'll admit that being from Fort Worth I'm a major Hogan homer. I tried to put major pressure on my elbows at address like Hogan and the results have been stunning. As someone who has double jointed elbows they are almost touching at address. It feels crazy weird but it has made a huge difference for me. This has helped me to move as one piece and to create a much more repeatable contact point. Check out this Saguto video on Hogan arm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfckFcF7Mbo&t=556s
2. Shoulder Down Drill- Tom recently posted a short video on "Hit PERFECT shots doing this CRAZY feel" and it has been a game changer for me. I was not getting my lead shoulder down nearly enough and was resorting back to my comfort zone of swaying-spraying/load and explode type of shots. I was all over the place. Using the trusty Home Depot alignment stick in the ground I now use this drill as a standard part of my warm up and practice. If I hit loose shots I know I am reverting back to old habits.

There is amazing content in this school but you need to find the small handful of feels/videos/drills that will bring you back to Earth when you are struggling. Being able to self diagnose on the course and range has been one of the great parts of this program. Hope this helps!
