I could never get the timing of the left foot down. But, always wanted to as it is an easy way to start from the ground up.

It is really tough for me even now.  I have to plant my left heel completely before I start my downswing.

I “feel” that I make a definitive pause while I plant my heel.  It feels really odd. If I don’t, I rush my transition and start down too soon and the results suffer.

Without getting into weight shift and angle of attack, what are your thoughts on this?

Letting my trail arm "fly" has been a great thing for my game. What's important is that I don't try to "place" the right arm higher, it's synced with my pivot.

I'd film the swing first though to confirm it's actually tucked. Trail elbow might have nothing to do the distance lose.

I know the young guns on Tour have a severe right elbow tuck throughout their swing, but I am neither young or on Tour

With the younger guys now, I'd say it's the opposite.

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
