Vids , getting the hang of it(At least editing)

Trying my hardest but still fighting shoulder , can't seem to get it away from body on down swing so to speak. And have issues on back swing keeping arm totally straight. Upside I believe is better than when I first started with this academy. And definitely making difference as ball striking is more consistent, sure swinging the club everyday is helping. Sticking with trying to improve mechanics, but am I also wrong to think that somethings will conform to our style and if the results is consistent ball striking and control. Then is that the end result of what we are looking for?

@Steven - Consider Mike Bennett, Grant Waite, and Charlie Wi - noticeably different swings, but all wholly and fully S&T. Sure there are boundaries, but there's plenty of room for us to put our own unique spin on it - and/or to excel within the realm of our preexisting physical limitations!

@Tom Saguto Thanks for the encouragement, I totally agree. I definitely have a grasp on the fact that the swing will be unique to me for sure.

And an update for all posted here@fish4197&@Alan Studnicky and others.

Thanks for the kudo's, but I don't consider myself a warrior, just love the game and am a competitor. And yes I am here because I knew from when I saw my first Saguto video this would be a help and has been.

Just got done with a practice 18 today at shorter 5698 yd. course with postage stamp size greens . I go their on occasion to focus on the short game but also driving since also can be narrow.

But main goal of today was to play the Saguto, Hogan, Nicholas setup.

Everything was off left ankle clubhead inside ankle. Right foot changed according to club. Went well....the biggest trouble was getting it right with driver and the last 2 par 4's seemed to make it work. I was experimenting a little with ball placement and how much of a closed and wide of stance would work for me.

The last 2 drivers were down the middle slight fade(not a slice)! Seemed to that the perfect spot for driver was same spot as other clubs with widest stance of all the clubs and just a little bit closed stance.

Only terrible shots came when I tried to do too much at once.

Short game was on since the small greens if missed green had to drop then in there.

Took 31 putts 1 three putt Ugh! And had one chip-in using the putter stroke chip with my Lob wedge just off the green. (went in like a putt)

All in all it's mission accomplished (even though I can always find more things to clean up).

Sidebar, having the hitting net in the garage is BIG PLUS! I think it is a huge part of me getting comfortable with the new ball position and stance. Going to stick with this routine for a week and start to incorporate more tilt in the swing once this is more ingrained.

Oh and all this with no warm up which I hate. But range was closed for junior camp, looked like 9 to 12 year old's. I'll live with it since they are introducing the game to youngsters, they looked stoked!!!!

Oh shot 87

On to league tomorrow!

Thanks All!!!!
