Getting rid of the newsletter popup every time I go to the Clubhouse page would improve the user experience….
You’re a moderator, can’t you do something about it? Or does that title come with no power?
With great power comes great responsibility…and apparently zero knowledge of the new platform….
Ah, I can see that holds true for all of you 😉

Can we get a “I don’t want to see signatures” option?
At the current rate, on my mobile phone, it’s more signature than content on every scroll down a page.

Well, ok then, it seems this all started in April 2017, and to bring the journey to life, I had this on 15th April 2017:
TL:DR – Hacks record of current swing change notes.
For my own reference mainly, but, just in case some of you are interested, I’m going to write up my swing change notes.
So, at the first club fitting, it was suggested I need the following “swing thoughts” to match the swing changes recommended:
Grip – Left hand more knuckle, tuck thumb. Cover left thumb with right hand.
Align – Shut shoulders. Tuck Elbow. Across arms at elbows align to target. Bring left should forward.
Turn – shoulder away & right hip back.
The grip change felt very different and made my hands “hold” the club a bit tight. I had to get my left hand further to the right, and my right hand further to the left. Result being a significant cup in the wrists, and a very ‘stiff’ feeling in left arm, making it feel more solid and very straight. This will feel more natural as I practice. Tension in hands, the tight hold on the club will ease off with repetition and practice.Then, I had to work on closing my shoulders, which the grip change did to a large extent. But, still had to ensure the line across my arms, at the elbows, was aligned to the target. This felt like I was really pointing to the right of the target.
Make a turn back with my left shoulder properly turning under my chin was the next issue. This linked with getting my right hip to turn back and NOT SLIDE TO THE RIGHT.
Known to hit it fat, often, and especially when fatigued toward the end of a round, it’s this last bit that’s now key to getting the swing consistent. I really need to work on the left shoulder under, right hip back, no slide, keep weight inside right leg (load it up).
Impact of Changes?
Well, at the first club fitting, swinging my old 7 iron, my old swing, grip, etc. the Trackman data showed clubspeed of around 70-75 mph, a roll out distance of 130m, which is what I would achieve ‘on course’. “Carry Distance” as I’ve now been informed is the key stat here, and it was, from memory around low 120m. So, a good baseline. As my old swing, it was fairly accurate, but inconsistent. Even with good club path, the face would open a bit due to the shaft, so I naturally closed it with my hands – a key aspect to unlearn now with the new clubs!
With the grip change only, and it’s natural flow through impact to other parts of the swing, clubspeed jumped up to 85mph and resultant change in ‘carry distance’ saw it out to around 130m.
Going through the club fit, the best irons for me ended up the AP1’s, and those saw my club speed around the same 85mph, but the ‘carry distance’ jumped up to around 140m.
Next phase of swing thoughts:
Pause at top of back swing
Extend club and hands to the target.
Hold your finish.These came from the Iron selection, but more so now with the new irons in my hands, yesterday.
Impact of these Changes?
Distance, not much. But accuracy and consistency massive.
So, the new 7 iron, yesterday was showing the same data … clubspeed around 85mph, carry distance 140m.
Working on the swing changes, the carry dropped a bit to 130 – 135m, but the club path and angle of attack both improved, with the club path essentially perfect, but the club face closing (due to my old habit of correcting it with my right hand – I have to work on stopping that) … but, when both were good, no surprise the shot was straight.
BUT, my drop kick, fat hit, was well and truly in force yesterday. The “turn” and not slide was not taking hold, but the potential (when I stop that slide) is huge. Some serious accuracy and distance on the way. This will no doubt flow through to the Driver. I’m excited at the prospects.
Having not practiced, a deliberate decision until the new irons arrived (I did not want to be confused with swing vs club issues using my old irons) the grip change is still feeling weird and making the hands tight, and obviously has a flow through impact to the overall swing.
With the new irons now, I’m off to groove the changes over the next week or two.
Plan is to have the changes grooved so that when the new Driver arrives, the grip and hands change feels more natural, and the swing ‘turn’ and follow through are consistent.
I have to stop myself from:
Sliding hips. My hips must turn, right bum cheek back… not slide backwards from the target.
Overly excessive back swing. Turn until comfortable. Load up inside of right thigh. It feels like back swing is really short, but, its actually not, it’s perfect when I turn until comfortable.
Loading the inside of right thigh will produce power once I get turn sequence starting from legs up to start the forward swing. This will take some practice to get the correct feeling.By the time you realise this part of my signature doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Wonder if starting again will improve the results?
Surely the chipping yips will not follow you!

Ok, I’m on a roll… 🙄
Can we get some other ‘reaction’ / “interaction” options in addition to the “thanks”?
Can we get a “like”?
What about a “LoL” or even “Hahaha”
Possible?

Looks like it worked?
I should add, I’m on Android 9 on a Nokia 6.1
Here’s another screenshot of it off to the right, so I lose the submit button etc. Have hit enter / return to get it back left to get submit button.

Well, ok then, let’s see how it goes now as I type this … Nope, still doing the weird left right not fit screen thing as I try and type this.
Let’s see if I can get a screenshot and post it
Ok, took screenshot. Now, can I add it to this post?

Ok, so I’ll start …
Using Android pie, on my phone and these text input areas are really weird. Don’t fit the screen and sort of scroll left and right.
