I've been Playing Golf for: 12 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 15

My typical ball flight is: draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: thin

(Sorry I blocked out my face because I want to remain anonymous and I do also have a stupid expression at impact.)

My pro sent me these pictures (I don't have any video footage) and said these are the four most important parts of the swing.

At present we are working on improving my impact position which he said should resemble my address position as in P1/P3. As you can all see I seem to have done this quite well but still can't seeem to get any distance out of my shots.

Is my pro leading me up the garden path or is there another reason why I am lacking or losing power?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Actually...to my eye, impact position does not look the same.  It appears your left wrist has broken down and you are flipping the club.  The instructors here emphasize a "flat left wrist" at impact. As you can see your left wrist is a bit bowed back.

Your pro is not leading you down the wrong path. Plus, he is going to be able to do a lot more for you while seeing you live.  As my first boss told me:  if you are going to pay someone for their advice, you should take it.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).

    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
