great write up buddy. Keep at it and you'll be back to form in no time! Patience Young Jedi, patience.
Pretty good stuff Kevin, I love the amount of time your putting into your game. Its gonna come together
OEM I love the position here at the top of the swing!
I like the noodle idea. My instructor makes me use a bucket sometimes. It's embarrassing when you smack it! Love the pics and summary of your lesson. Keep up the good work Kevin!
Awesome stuff Kevin. It working with it and it will be worth it. I wonder if you could setup something inside your house to work with. Maybe with a 2x 4 and alignment sticks?
Look carefully at the position of your right hand at address compared to the position at impact in one of those pictures, it should be the same and it isn't. Make sure your right hand and wrist is not locked up at the top, it needs to be relaxed to the point of almost limp in order to allow ito to be in the proper position at the top and allows you to come inside with a strong move. At just before impact you should be in a position where it looks like you are trying to drive the butt end of the club handle into the back of the ball in order to maintain some lag and generate a solid hit, once that right hand is released the ball should already be launched. Think about hitting the ball with the heel and edge of your left hand, centrifugal forces will pull the club into the right position at impact. It also looks to me as though you are coming forward onto your toes through the swing instead of staying balanced and centered on the downswing, you are having to adjust your hands in closer which automatically throws your swing plane off in order to compensate for that forward movement onto your toes right before impact. To get good power it should feel like the club is pulling on your left arm and shoulder through the ball and not like you are hitting at the ball with your hands. Your hands just put the club in the right position, your arm swing and turn provide the power.
Great job there. Looks like a lot of hard work and i'm sure it will pay off. How was the noodle set up? Did he put it through a alignment stick?
I bet the PGA instructor at Golf Galaxy will bring these things up when the time is right.
Jumped the gun there I guess sorry about that OEM K, didn't want to create any confusion, swing building is a one step at a time process. Good luck with it.
Kevin this is awesome dude. That writeup was fantastic. You really explained everything perfectly. I have some of the same issues as you do especially at the top of my swing. I can't wait to start my lessons. I am so pumped
Your setup and take away are money, elbow in and left arm strait. Your halfway their man, keep at it.
Nice update OEM. Reminds me I need to update my golftec thread with the last lessons too.
Isn't it amazing how easy it is to perform the proper swing with no ball there, but once the ball is on the tee, you instantly revert to the old swing? Why are we golfers such mental patients?
Great update KMac! I remember doing the noodle drill quite a bit when I went with GolfTec. You're getting close my friend. Keep at it and the hcap is going to drop big time.
Great update Kevin! I hate the damned noodle drill, but it is absolutely on of the best for getting on plane. I hit it to, sent the stupid thing across the room. Keep it up man.

I love this stuff, Kev. I think your instructor is really doing a good job. My daughter is doing very similar things, and reading your excellent write up is great confirmation to me about what she is doing. In the past, we have almost built a cage of alignment sticks around her. lol. I just showed her how your instructor uses the noodle and she loved that. She hates alignment sticks.

Kevin. This is some awesome information and I am certainly going to try the headcover tip. Keep up the good work and I know it will all start coming together for you real soon. Thanks for sharing.
TapAhoy!
Kev-dog, are you enjoying the process? Building from the ground up is always fun but a ton to take in. Looks like your soaking in the entire process, good for you bro. Thanks for sharing!
