  1. I think it's a really good app. I'd like to see future versions have a front-on view so I can work on pivot issues.
  2. Dude those pants are back in fashion.
  3. Not really. I suppose if you wanted to mimic the strike wedge, you could find out the size and cut one of those wedges. But honestly, it's pretty much the same deal.
  4. I watched this 5x. I thought it was an SCTV sketch.
  5. Grab a towel, roll it up, and put it a clubhead inside the ball with a slight curvature. Try to keep the clubhead facing the ball for the first 2-3 feet or so, and trace the (slight) curve.
  6. I literally stole this from @iacas (thanks, man). It's a posture board helps you keep the center of your hip joints from straying too far back towards your heels too much (which I tend to do). You can use it for early extension too, I guess. And, you can hit balls with it. All of the elements of this extremely high-tech training aid are easily obtainable at your local hardware store. I'm not even that handy, and I managed to build it:
  7. It's hard to give advice without seeing video of your swing. There are a ton of variables that cause a clubface to be too open.
  8. I echo the info about grip and posture. But these are also pretty good drills and ideas... 1. Hit shots with your right foot back and learn to hit a little push draw (right to left shot). This is HUGE. Do this on a tee, then gradually move up to hitting shots off the ground. Eventually, you'll get a nice little draw and your contact will be great. In YT, search "right foot back drill". 2. Learn to use a video camera to properly so that you can make sure you're aiming right and your shoulders are properly aligned. Don't get too much into technical stuff for a while. Mostly make sure your right arm is a touch under your left at set up (bent comfortably). You'll feel a little closed. Good! 3. Use 2 alignment sticks (properly) with the ball in the middle on the range to get a sense of how to aim properly. 4. Dan Carraher's takeaway drill is pretty cool: https://www.instagram.com/p/ByN9TMMFGh-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link 5. Combine the above with practicing bringing your hands down to your hips with your shoulders still turned (drill #1 is good for this). The shaft should be pointed just inside the target or at the target and the clubface pointed almost to the ground. This is something you want to do as a practice swing. 6. Hit foam golf balls into a net. Or, do drills off a tee for a while. Then graduate to hitting balls off the ground. Getting rid of where the shot goes is very helpful when you're learning new skills. There are tons of good cheap home nets on Amazon. 7. Hit 8 irons 90 yards when you do drills. You cannot learn a new motor pattern at full speed. Your brain won't let you. 8. Never practice your full swing for more than 20-30 minutes, and really overdo the drills in your practice swing. Try to hit a ball once every minute or so. 9. If you practice driver at some point, set up properly (there's loads of videos on YT for this), and use a little trick where you line up with the club about 6-8" behind and slightly inside the ball. 10. Find ONE teacher and stick with her/him. 11. Learn to chip and pitch decently. You can buy Dan Grieve's The 3 Releases for Kindle pretty cheaply on Amazon. It's a great book, and the info is fairly simple.
