How many bays are at your location?
Mine has four. I was told that their booking system only allots for one practice session each half hour even though no lessons are booked or and other bays are free.
I live close enough to my GolfTec that I call and see if any bays are free for practice if I don’t see an opening on the app and just drive on over.

Four, 2 bigger ones and 2 smaller ones. I'm sure its weather related as I never had an issue previously, but the last few weeks there are no available slots.
A simple tool that yields magical results.
Slots limited this week at mine too. Temps dropped so I'm guessing weather related too.

Pool noodle behind you? I've never seen that

So, as mentioned, and teased, lesson in the books yesterday. We started out by confirming my knee angle was improved from the last lesson, meaning my starting knee angle was somewhere between 12-15 degrees (more like 12, be nice lmao) from about 3 degrees last week.
I told him that I applied it to irons on the course, and found it a bit harder to release enough to not turn the ball over left. A lot of in to out path moves with mostly face closing causing the hard rollover left. The apparent fix has a lot to do with how my hands address the ball. Where I was being encouraged previously to tuck my right elbow underneath a bit, causing my right arm to have a bit of a strong grip, letting my right elbow point more away from me allowed my hand to naturally neutralize a lot of that strong grip.
Now to the crux. We talked big time backswing. This included a visit from the noodle, required simply to create a barrier at the top of the swing to avoid hitting. It was about more than that, but in many ways, really forced me to get a fast understanding of where I couldn't go, and just how far I had to map in my mind to get there.
Before:
During:
One of the thoughts were using now is to get the club parallel to the ground in the takeaway and hinge from there, in an attempt to limit the amount of hinge at the top. As you can pretty clearly see, the left arm is going to naturally break down as I work to create that big dirty coil at the top.
From there it was just trying to reinforce. I've got a few mental hurdles to jump over before I can come in with some confidence, but I think the real crux of this conversation is finding a different part of my body to generate power from. In the swing currently, if I don't have that full coil feeling, I feel like my hands are way early and I have no power generation, which to me tells me that I am not using my lower half anywhere near as much as I could.
Lots to build on - lots to get into my big doofus brain while in the middle of my swing, but I really get a sense of what's not right.

I wish my teacher had broken out the noodle since I have this exact same problem. Probably would've if it wasn't just a swing eval.
With the amount of shoulder turn you get even with the "limited" backswing, there's plenty to generate power from. I absolutely love these lesson breakdowns btw.
The straight lead arm should result in even better consistency, right?
The noodle behind you in the other pics make sooooo much more sense now! Love seeing the change and watching the wheels turn a bit. Small changes that build on each other to produce something great. Keep up the awesome work!
My coach and I have gone over this as well. I can get way too long in my backswing and it throws everything else out whack. We haven't busted out the pool noodle in this fashion, but I can definitely see how it helps limit how far back you should be going in the back swing.

yeah, that's me moving that damn thing out of the way during my practice session so I could enjoy myself for twenty minutes instead of hating the world hahaha
I took a GolfTec lesson package years ago. Boy has the tech come a long way.

he did mention (and it is shown in the picture) that my shoulder turn even in an abbreviated backswing to avoid the noodle of death is well within tour average, which was pretty reassuring. My assumption is that I am not currently doing enough with my hips and legs in the swing to make it feel powerful. I'm relying a lot on my upper half to present that power and without it, I feel lazy and early.
The consistency thing is pretty interesting. I've had a pretty natural bend like that in my arm for a long time, and consistency isn't really my issue. Maybe it'll get better?
The consistency thing came to mind from having less things to square/time correctly. But I know enough of your game from here and the pod that consistency is not a concern for you really. I was mainly thinking about your struggles with the driver, that could this removal of one more moving part help in part to get that move better. I know a ton of people bend the lead arm naturally and are infinitely better than me, but I know it kills my timing if I do it.
The activation and power generation from the hips and legs is what I've been trying to do for two years now. It ain't easy, but the journey is worth it for sure.
Geez, 108 CHS with a 2 hybrid? Which I had that.
Love this feature. Used it a couple times to practice on my way home from the office rather than go all the way to my regular studio.
So much improvement. I did the evaluation years ago and had to wear the vest. This is so much better now.
Yup-there were a lot of wires flying around.
Glad they had upgraded away from that by the time that I started taking lessons at GOLFTEC
Getting the hips to rotate especially when you have the upper body strength to power through is tough, at least for me.
I felt like I had the coiling down a few times during my lessong, then Cole is like, watch this in slow mo... not yet but getting better.
