I’ll get back to grinding the shallowing move.

That’s not what I said.

Your right elbow is the issue. Around you.

@iacas look any better? Trying to feel like my right arm is external to the max throughout. Aside from the overswing lol

It's tough to say. It's unlikely you've made a big change swinging at full speed.

It looks a bit better, but I don't know. IMO it's going to take awhile.

It's not entirely about staying "external" either. You can still rotate the shoulder externally but have the elbow well around beside/behind you.

P.S. You could come up for a visit sometime. Maybe even see what your swing is like on GEARS.

watching this video to get an idea of the correct movement. It appears that you want to keep the right shoulder more internally rotated (not extended) if that makes since? If so that is a biggg change that I need to make. I feel like I currently extend my right shoulder back at the top. Maybe that is caused by pulling the right arm back idk?

No, it's not really about that. My right elbow can be by my shirt seam regardless of whether my right shoulder is internally or externally rotated. Which is why I said:

Lots of stuff there you can do.

Alright so I read some more articles on here, specifically the one about the right arm. Also watched a couple of the videos that applied. My current feel is to start the swing with my pivot, NO ARMS GOING AROUND. Then once that is complete arms go up. I did this a couple days and was sort of shanking. Sooo I started turning the left wrist (bow) at the top. It feels like a lot but on video it’s hard to even see it. Long story short this feels better than my swing ever has. I have no question that this is what I need to be doing. It will take time to sync it up and get it smooth but this is the right track. The club comes in with more shaft lean, the strike is pure, and the swing appears to be shallowing as a bonus. Thank you @iacas for the help!!

Had my first ever driver fitting today. Went to club champion to see what they could improve. I tried around 5 different shafts, but the second one was a clear winner(ventus black 6S). We moved into some different heads but nothing could beat my g410. I tried the new cobra, TM, and ping heads. I liked the new ping head but neither of us thought it was worth trading. 
It was a cool experience that put to bed a ton of questions that I’m always tossing around. I’m happy with the results.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
