Dude, I post in mine almost daily. Post away.

I'll post like 4 videos in a week and they all look almost identical...but I can go back and see/read things and re-remember something I've forgotten or neglected. That's what this is for.

When you say that maintaining bent knees can cause lumbar issues, do you mean immediate problems or long term? Should I be concerned that I create this much of a shoulder turn without straightening my knee or do I just have an unusual amount of flexibility?

Does your back hurt now?

I think you're just a flexible dude, if it doesn't hurt now you should be fine. Also it looks like your knee still decreases in flex somewhat, we don't want it to lose all it's flex.

BTW your tailbone is too far behind you at address

Whoops i posted that in the wrong thread

I moved it from the Myth thread to this one

Ohhhh ok thanks I was really confused lol. Does my tailbone being too far behind me mean I'm squatting to much?

No, knee flex at address looks fine.

I was making some natural swings today like I'd do on the course and hit a lot of good shots right where I wanted them to go. I think I've made some progress keeping the club in front of me because I hit my first pull in years about a third of the way through the bucket lol

Check out this drill, will help you sequence the arms with the pivot.

So I should work on keeping my elbows as close as I can during my swing? Sorry I'm having trouble figuring out what i should take from that video. I get kinda lost when explanations are really technical lol

Your swing gets very long on the backswing, makes it hard to time things on the downswing. So rather than have the arms lift excessively, you'll keep the upper part of your right arm on your torso.

The tee or glove in your right arm pit will make sure that when your backswing stops, your arm swing will also stop. Things will be more in sync on the downswing instead of having the arms trail the pivot which leads to contact and path issues.

Ohhh, cool I'll start trying that. Thanks! That makes much more sense than the drill I've been doing

When you do it correctly it's going to feel like you're making a half backswing. Just wanted to warn you ;-)

I am finding a lot of similarities between our swings. You do a great job with your knee action. I'm pretty envious. I saw a couple things that you do with your right knee that I'm going to try myself.

    • We do not buy extended warranties. We will use one of our credit cards for the purchase that extends the warranty "x 2". Our thoughts are: a. if the item is a lemon, it will likely break right away and we can attempt to apply the original warranty or credit card extension. b. over the long haul, we will probably save more money by not purchasing the extended warranty and fixing/junking broken items out of our own pocket. The important thing is to keep some records of purchases so one may make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty. I recently sent back some Footjoy shoes for leaking and Footjoy did a reat job of making the claim process work very well. I had the original receipt, warrant info and box. Easy peasy.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.
