Happy Sunday! Okay, still moving in slow mo...and still swinging heavy stuff. Finally understanding that I shouldn't be "pulling" the weight of the sledge down, gravity does that for me. Instead, when I get the sequence more correct, I am able to use the weight of the sledge/gravity to swing...

Okay, more of a vertical swing/drop. After all these years, I think I am starting to understand this tilt. I am still not doing it the way SS is, but fundamentally, this real time slow mo is movig me in the right direction. Still looks and feels like I don't turn enough. Any thoughts/comments on...

A little older and a lot more hair, but my desire to throw 400' is starting to burn again... This real-time slow motion swing is not how I am throwing. I still continue to push over the top or tipping forward to generate power. I need to do this real-time slow motion more often as I can feel...

Feels like I am not getting tossed around as much as I am controlling the sledge with my body. Not sure about my grip wrist orientation though? If I bring my wrist closer to the end it makes it tough on the wrist to swing. tsVtv2F6jI4

Back. Been playing pretty well, but distance still about where it has been (325-350ish). Thought I would start similar to where I left off (Sledgehammer). Looks a little better compared to last year. tPlakn9hV4k

Hey all. Back after a total right knee replacement (September 8, 2020). Taking things slow, but have been given the all clear to resume my normal physical activities. Although my extension and flexion is not where I want it (105 degree max flex : 10 degree max extension), my knee has not felt...

I thought about adding this to my post/question as a potential secondary benefit to switching sides, just didn't want to jinx it :D Good stuff to hear UN, seriously thank you for sharing.

UN. I apologize if you’ve mentioned this in your thread, but I am curious why you switched your swing to your non dominate arm/hand? Reason I ask is I am set for a TKR (total knee replacement) this fall. I’m giving some strong consideration to switching to a LHBH. I plan to continue playing DG...

Morning, Counting has helped; keeping that tempo in my head/saying it out loud helps to keep me from focusing on specific body positions. In the behind view I can see that I am out over my toes too much, but if I stand up taller, I have hard time getting my shoulder to pendulum. Sequence...

Figured it was more mental than anything. With counts/beats

I can do the Ciara 2 step, but haven't spent any time/choreography with the MC Hammer crossover. I'm not generally an excuse maker, but focusing on feel is one of the hardest things for me. According to my ortho, my right knee is that of an 75 year old with significant arthritis stemming from...

RC I always appreciate you chiming in and helping to push me in the right direction I put a lot of concentration into simply throwing to a point with feel, and not worrying about specific body positions. If I didn't make it to my spot (long/short, left/right) I just tried to adjust my body/hit...

Guilty, guilty, guilty...a million times guilty. I've now heard you say this, RC and I think Drake E also. Time for me to start listening... I sincerely appreciate the advice, and encouragement. Thank you.

Some self reflection... I needed to hear what SW & RC said yesterday. Passed my two year form anniversary last week, combine that with a lengthy slump, and I ended up like Tin Cup wearing every training aid to get his swing back. I'm going to keep things simple, and above all else, focus on...

I mean I certainly can throw a hammer to a spot within a certain range, it’s just not done correctly...right? Agree that I have too much in my head right now. My difficulty is getting feedback both on position, and on feel, and then I lean way more towards focusing on positions when I practice...
