I feel like I'm getting steep at times and can feel the club kind of crash into the mat.  I haven't hit off of grass yet with this modified swing... But from the mats, it feels steep.  Any comments/suggestions on how to maintain low point with a centered pivot and shallow out my AoA?

 

I also need to work on my grip pressure and lever action... I know my grip pressure is probably too strong.  A swing thought I'm trying to ingrain is to get more Duffner.  But it is hard because I get to the top and it's almost like I panic.  And then try and accelerate the club as fast as I can through the ball.  My tempo needs a lot of work.... Maybe if I worked on my finish pose/posture - it would clean some of that tempo up? 

 

Fun times!

 

More turn allows the arm and elbow pieces room to load and unload.  So less "panic".  Keep it up, attach those right arm pressure points in front of the lat at A2 and crank up the turn.  Feel like the turn takes 5 seconds longer.  Like Erik said this will keep the right elbow from lifting and bending.

a) when hitting off mats
b) you FEEL like something is "steep"

In other words, you don't know for sure. And a flip is shallower than a properly inline impact, yes. a3_biggrin.gif

GREEN: I'm building confidence in freeing up my hips/torso to increase the turn to load/unload properly.  When I do it properly, it feels amazing.  But I'm still struggling to find my low point.  Feel like I'm hitting a lot of shots thin - like a groove or two low on the clubface.  Which would explain why my ball flight is so low on those shots.  

 

BLUE: When I SLOOOOOWW it down on both the takeaway and downswing... Really focused on a steady head - with a full turn (I actually see my left knee shift inward on the backswing)... I can flight the ball much higher and it feels like I'm making pure contact.  But the distance really isn't that great.  It's like I need to learn the proper pivot move, then build club head speed?

 

The pitched elbow is definitely sorting itself out with slowing down the turning rates, less right arm, and increasing the hip/torso turn.  That left knee move highlighted by Mac below really has helped me open that right hip - which ultimately gives me a nice secure lat to maintain PP5.
