just watched all the videos from BM (thoughts)

I bought all the videos and today was the day that I finished watching them all. Took about 4 weeks, but it was worth while.


Week 1.
by pointing the butt of the club towards the target during the downswing while clearing your hips was a great great great swing thought. HItting every shot dead straight. still shoot between high eighties and low nineties.

Week 2.
Struggling with pivot. I had alot hip slide before so pivot through the middle of my neck definitely limit that hip slide, however I start to feel like I have a reverse pivot and alot of shots were pushing to the right, maybe slice once in 10 shots.

Week 3.
Fixed reverse pivot, hitting good shots until my 600's range ball. I forgot to mention I hit about 500-600 balls a day (everyday) during this period of time. Then i just totally lost it. So I didn't play for 4 days and went back on the driving range, hit alot of fat shots. :eek: :eek: The reason was i wasn't clearing my hips. I stop turning my hips when it was parallel. So i tried to clear my hips more and i start to pull the shot to the left.

Week4.
I felt like I just wanna kill myself. Anyways I stop for a few days and I went back to the range. Start doing the point the butt of the club to the target and clear my hips drill. I did pretty good, hitting everything straight, until the 2nd bucket. I started to pull again. I just lol really hard at the driving range, because it came back to me again. So i tried to (head) stay behind the ball through impact and it worked like a charm. Trapping the ball, it was just so nice to be able to do that again. Ok so I thought that was it for me, I did it. No, i started to fade the ball after the 3rd bucket. IT wasn't a cutter slice, it was a nice fade. Anyways I just couldn't get it perfectly straight, so I play the fade during the weekend at Coyote Hills in Fullerton, Ca and I shot 85. I have never shot under 90 at that golf course, It was a narrow course. Of course the C OF a flipper helped alot on my short game, I now have these low pitching / low chipping shot with good ball check around the green with alot of tap ins really lower my scored.


I really like the result of what I have learned in these videos and BM did a great job explaining alot of things that I didn't understand before. However, I wish I can have a private lesson with the man BM himself, felt like I still have millions of questions about my swing. I still feel inconsistent with full swing, but I feel pretty confident about punch shots and shots around the green. And what I like the most is that I hit dead straight with my driver on every first tee shot, that really gave me the confidence to play the game.

p.s. gonna work on using the ground tomorrow. Floating.......
 
wHAT A GREAT DAY!! I kept on left wrist flat at the top through impact and Hit alot of great shot. even on driver and my 3 wood dead straight. The last video (confession of a flipper) really helped me understand what it feels like at impact. I didn't have to hit it hard and the ball just kept going and going and going. I think i have a chance to shoot under 80's now. :) thanks BM

If I may ask, what do you do for a living? Although I never have, I would love to try and hit 600 balls a day! You must have it made!

I do logistic business for my family and...on the side I just opened a dog accessory wholesale business. :D

Seriously..600 balls..only takes about 3 hours. I wish I can just play golf everyday. Although I haven't really been enjoyining the game for a while because I almost feel like it's a job. I still enjoyed it tho.

you have the hands of a carpenter, and the patience of a saint my friend...
I have been playing since I was 3 years old, and I still get blisters on my hands after 36 holes, and we are talking about 160 shots, with 65 or so being putts... :eek:

hmm...i dunno i dun realy grip that hard so i dun have that much blisters on my hands. I think my teacher actually told me to stop practicing because he said I can never be perfect. He likes all the shots that I hit. BUt being a perfectionist...I would like everything to be dead straight, nothing else is acceptable unless I tried to shape those shots myself. I think i'm really hard on myself and thus I feel like i dun enjoy as much. Well hopefully Brian can come to LA soon and teach me more skills. As you can see I dont really have patience, but I'm very persistent. I will work for hours and hours to get the result I want. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't even try that hard..it's just golf. I remember i used to slice / thin the ball alot when I first start to play 3 years ago, and i could still shoot 96-97, but of course back in the days i don't count OB as 2 stroke. BUt now when I play good i could hit 80-83...when i'm bad I could still hit 96. So does that really mean I improved? I think it's all mental. You can thin the ball all day and yet you can still get on the green with 2 or 3 strokes. Golf is complicated...

Well..as long as the butt of the club is pointing to the target...during the down swing is fine. I don't have a drill, i just..have 2 practice swing and make sure on the down swing that club is pointing to the target when i'm squatting...i dunno if that helps but that's what I learned from the video.
 
the last piece of puzzle....

I been hitting pretty good, but sometimes i still hit a hook. So i kept watching BM's video over and over...then i saw the horizontal hinge. I realized it's not the wrist that rolls over...it's the forearm. NOW this made everything so simple. BM is the genius.
