Working on the swing. Hitting the ball pretty well, fell apart a bit yesterday to have +11 (not the worst, and could have had 4 shots less if i had kept focus!).
Working on the turn through the ball. Its hard work and feels a bit weird at the moment but the ball seems to be coming off ok. Also focusing on the legs.
Hope it holds up in SA!
Enjoy
Looking good Matt !!!

Looks good Matt, keep that up. Baby fades?
If it aint for sale the right price has just not been offered
Still working on setup and the feeling of the RSS
Straight leg drill helps to get the feeling.
Video shows this and then a normal 7 iron.
More work needed on setup including getting the feet narrower and the head position right. But feeling good about it all and working hard.
Seeing big gains in the short irons
What does the straight leg drill do?
Stops the right leg from being over active and allows the upper body to work more as it should. You can see the difference in room I have on the downswing which I'm working on
Just watched some youtube videos on rss. Seems like it is pretty simplified, might work ok for me as I don't seem to rotate my hips a lot on the downswing.
Looks like a cool range. Where is that Matt?
Kincumber driving range. It's just not long enough. Although the wind is usually straight into you but only 235m long.
Yeah good grass area and good golf balls.
Matt, you are one of the lucky ones, blessed with tons of athletic ability. My advice is not to cut movements out of your swing to make it simpler or because of a concept you have been exposed to.
The list is long of thoroughbred golfers who have lost their swings by going down this path - many under the guidance of experts. Swings that look simple are anything but.
Consciousness and awareness - awareness is being aware of what is happening and being aware of what is happening within ourselves while we are conscious. Where did I leave my glasses?
Impact positions from 10/12/15 vids, a lot of the forward lean you can see is because the shutter speed is too slow...M3J.jpgM3J2.jpg but looks a bit flippy. More frames would help too.
I'm working on this too. Hands covering left thigh at impact and shaft not past right arm when parallel to ground in follow through.

Havent updated this in a while. I sort of left RSS but im really going in no direction other than hitting it and trying my best to hit fades. I'm not 100% sure where my swing goes from here other than feel.
I was working on my putting with a coach briefly, and i think ill focus on that side for now.
The major thing i have seen re watching a tonne of my videos is i cannot keep my posture at impact, which i have no idea how to fix, but seems ingrained into my swing.
I think you might be pushing off your right foot instead of shifting left and posting. This move should come from pulling from the left side, left oblique and posting with your left glute firing. Not pushing with the right foot and hip.. As soon as you push too much it's hard to keep your posture. Try hitting wedges of quarter swings where you move into your left side without the right foot pushing excessively. My 2 cents.
Long time between updating but I'm not working with Jason Laws at Newcastle golf club.
Would 150% recommend him to anyone north of sydney for a lesson.
Working on getting the swing more upright and a better release as im releasing early sending the ball too high and losing distance.
Using the split hand drill to help that and then holding my wrist angle through the swing and turning more.
Time will tell how it all goes.
My swing as of last week, video is of me hitting an 8 iron. Looking to get a little more rotation with my hips, shallow out my swing a little but it's fairly solid at the moment.

Been really trying to work hard with the plane mate, to try and get rid of the flip and get a better turn to be able to have the follow through plane the same as the backswing. Constant feeling of exiting left. But I just cannot for the life of me stop the flip or get it left. I can't turn any more than I am.
Anyone got some drills for the flip?

To ask a potentially silly question: are you trying to get rid of the flip for a particular reason?
