swing thoughts

baseball grip with hands slightly separated works great
make sure right hand keeps club in fingers
on backswing, don't lift club, stay flat
on transition to downswing, make sure right elbow falls into plane before turning upper body.
don't sway back, remember brady riggs video on creating space so that arms can swing down. swing the butt.

hip pivot, creating space on backswing

arms stay connected to chest, will follow on their own. make sure right hand stays passive.
full follow through.
think of painting the stripe down the target line.
focus on spot in front of ball where divot starts.

use this grip for short game too.
paint the line.
follow through down the line for chips and for putts!

sand game-this grip helps a lot. make sure to focus like a laser on the entry point in the sand. can swing out to in to shorten flight distance.

great great day with lots of discoveries.
right elbow helps timing.
baseball grip helped a lot, keep shaft in fingers rather than palm
keep right hand passive.
flat swing plane working now, don't let backswing get too long. no need for that.

bad hooks from not finishing backswing. rememer tempo-backswing at transition speed same as downswing start speed.
