I think I may get a full body mirror and really try to feel more bend.  I really don't care about losing some distance as long as it makes me more consistent.

 

I definately see what you guys are talking about on the back turn.  Problem is I don't know if I will be able to get more video because of the weather.....I was very spoiled last winter with the mild temps.....

 

We do a lot of work in a mirror. It's a great feedback device. Put little pieces of tape on it to mark things - spots, angles, lines - and it's even better.

Hi Matt, I posted this video and drill for another golfer, and thought of your horizontal shoulder turn issues and wanted to post it here to ensure you saw it too.  Hope this helps you nail this piece.

That video really makes sense!!!!  I'm definately going to try that.  I used to be a baseball player I'm wondering if the flat shoulder is from that. I'm going to try that wall drill when I get home from work....

WOW is that a hard move!!!!!  With my head on the wall it's very easy to get my shoulders to tilt that way, but then on a full swing I get resistance.  Crazy that that would happen!  I will just keep at it.  I am hopefully going to try to get a round in on sat so I will have a friend get a quick down range video. 

 

It is a hard move but I have to say if you do it you have coiled up so well that when you uncoil you produce so much speed!  Crazy actually.  I didn't think I would be able to hit any further but wow that feels like a powerful move.  It also sets my wrists which is much different from my first videos.

Remember, for you... Less is more.

Meaning right now you are turning the upper body too much. So get the left shoulder to turn vertically under your chin and stop the upper turn. This should shorten your backswing considerably, and help keep the shaft on plane.

You will have more than enough club head speed to hit the ball without sacrificing distance with the shorter turn as this will lead to better alignments which will clean up contact and center hit percentages.
