Once a month I can handle.

Hitting 450 balls in one session is for sure an excuse for not playing well the following day. The slightest bit of stiffness can destroy a golf swing out on the course.
Hope you don't mind me butting in here. Stiffness I can work through by just playing, but right now I think I have a strained muscle on my left side and that is definitely making it harder to swing well. I'm trying to rest it but have a hard time staying away from the course and/or range more than a day.

I think v shortly I am going to call an end to experimenting on my swing for the year. It is something to be doing over winter, now I just want to play. Its hard to do when your changing all the time.
So true. Yesterday I decided to go out and just swing the club and mostly forget about all the stuff in my head that I've been picking up and I was able to hit my drives better (considering the pain in my side.)

Used the old headcover under the arm, which I was suspect enough about.
Does this make you keep your right arm tucked next to your body. I've heard of this but can never remember to try it.

But after 2 weeks of trial and error wow. Now the club is swinging, the ball is flying with good contact, and its effortless. Total new feeling, and as you said, addictive!! lol
Thats what I'm looking for, the effortless, long and straight. I am probably going to have to get rid of this pain in my side before I can get there however.
