A face-on video would help, but…

I'd work on the way the right elbow works on the backswing:

To clean up this picture (your right elbow begins immediately working around your body):

And then to clean up this picture (your eyes are almost over the ball  so you HAVE to early extend a bit to shallow the club).

Thanks a million for taking the time Iacas,

There is a face on view in my long post from earlier.

(Having trouble converting it and getting it onto youtube :8) )

Here it is if you missed it

Face On

I was surprised how "unsteady" my head was, it's the first time seeing it face on for me.

Would images captured with an iPhone suffice for online tutorial with 5SK?

It's not bad. But your Key #1 stuff should improve too. I'm not sure if I'd prioritize it above what I wrote above. Possibly. I'd love to see a few more videos though, shot from good angles with some lighting (you can't even see the shaft blur in the DL video).

Yes, particularly if they were shot with an iPhone 5S at 120 FPS. :) Or a regular iPhone in good lighting…

Ok, going to get to the range over the next few days and get some decent videos up.

Have been working on moving a little bit back from the ball and really working on sorting out that right elbow.

Whatever I have been doing, it has translated to the best golf I've played to date.

Played an Open Competition in The European Club last week and I finished with 36 points, that was enough to finish the competition in 3rd spot!!! :beer:

First ever placing in a competition, it was the start of our handicap season too, so I've started as I mean to go on, down from 17.2 -> 16.9

Got off to a horrible start but really turned it around from the 7th tee onwards.

Delighted with it, a very tough course and makes all the winter work seem worthwhile.

Swings vids to follow over the coming days

Well, it has taken some time but I upgraded my phone and managed to get a few videos Erik.

I'm guessing priority piece number 1 will be to work on the legs... they're very pale, we don't get much sun over here :-D

I would be very interested to see what you think, first 2 videos are SW, third is 7i.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
