Thoughts and the quest for another GUP

I had a couple of thoughts I wanted to try today. 

I noticed when chipping the other day, that I was not syncing up the hand positions with the shoulder positions.  It seemed to me that my hands would run ahead of the shoulders.  I think this leads to a weak hitting position and the tendency to flip the wrists.

I was trying to correct that today.  An interesting feeling that comes from being synced up is that the swing feels very slow.  The swing starts very slowly and it's easy to maintain balance.  The hands are slowly brought into the hitting area.  It all seems so slow.  The ball speed seems to be normal.  But it's a strange feeling when there is always an interest in a longer ball.

I found this very hard to do.  It was raining and coolish and I had multiple layers of jackets on, but still it did not seem doable by me.

I went back to the one thing that seemed to work well, which is to move off the ball on the backswing and then stay there during the swing.

I managed to shoot the back nine in one under par.  Nines under par are pretty rare for me.  However after a slow start with the earlier techniques, I needed 3 birdies to get under par.  I hit a couple within a couple of feet and made a 12 footer on 18.

I've got tee times for the next couple of days, so we shall see how this plays out.
