What is it called, when you 'drop' when you are in your downswing?

Hello all, thank you in advance for your insight. I have worked hard over the past few months at keeping my posture as I used to (and still do sometimes!) stand up on my downswing with a nasty over the top and early extension. I have been working hard on this, but now that my swing plane is more inside/out and my posture is getting better, I seem to be doing a 'crunch' during my downswing. I cannot find much on what this is so I can work on it, but was hoping that someone could tell me what this is called, so I can make it my next focus (as it causes me to hit Fat sometimes). -WI here is a video where you can clearly see it happening, I can't hit balls in the yard so no contact, but I am not looking for a swing analysis, but rather what this 'crunch' is called so I can research it [VIDEO]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFEckCD6yt0&feature;=youtu.be[/VIDEO]

here is a video where you can clearly see it happening, I can't hit balls in the yard so no contact, but I am not looking for a swing analysis, but rather what this 'crunch' is called so I can research it

Welcome to the Sand Trap.  Here are a couple of threads you should look at.

You are very crouched and bent over at set up.  This may contribute to your head dropping.  It is not necessarily a bad thing to drop slightly (Tiger and Rory do it), but you need to come back up by impact.  The videos below will really help.

It would help if you created a My Swing Thread in the Members Swings section.  I can move this thread there or you could start a new one.

Thank you. Will review your suggestion, I didn't want to post in My Swing yet as there is no ball in this swing and I didn't know if it was called something in particular. If I posted my swing from a few months ago, it would be a disgrace as I am so far over the top and extended its painful to watch! Next time I go to the range, I will get a good video! Thank you again!

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
