Moving from Pro to Tour Pro Level with Motion Swing

I am just getting back into PG after a 6-month layoff. I have played about 40 hours in the past 2 or 3 weeks at the Tour Pro level, using three different swing types. But I started with the motion swing 4.5 years ago and I would like to stick with it. However, I have found the jump from Pro to Tour Pro level to be quite challenging.

Here is a video that provides a look at how my transition is going. For those not interested in the motion swing it will probably bore you. But, if you are a motion swing player, you may find the learning curve between Pro and Tour Pro to be surprising.

Thanks for posting. I too play the motion swing and recently went from Pro to Tour Pro. I made the change because Pro was not enough of a challenge even w/o using the grid or BLI to putt. Like you I'm finding that slight misses in the ratio and swinging more than 100% are very penal. I probably don't play enough to ever score consistently below par especially on courses with narrow fairways. And like you I'm finding that you have to learn to get up and down because you're going to miss a lot of fairways. One thing I noticed is that on many courses the rough is very penal as far as losing distance. I really don't think that is realistic for most of the real life venues excepting US Open ones.
