First I'm too far to the right then I'm too far to the left. I'm going to have to bring a can of spray paint and paint lines on the floor to get this right.Β 

Just put a stick below your hands and make it look "vertical" inΒ the camera with the right height.

Or set a club down where you hit from.

Still working on a few things with my swing. Here's the Down The Line view as it is right now. I shot this using the slow motion feature on my phone.

Here's the caddie view.Β

Here's my swing this past Sunday at the indoor range.

From DTL it's looking okay.

I'm not as happy with it from the caddie view.Β 

I feel like I can get better extension with my arms through and after impact. Plus, I think I need to get a little more shaft lean at impact. It's better than it was, but I still have more to do.Β

So a couple things stand out to me.

Your hands are very active on the take away.Β  What I have found is that if you have active hands on the takeaway, rotation becomes a second thought on the backswing and downswing.Β  I really try to make my body turn by practicing standing up like this:

Or better, watch Monte do it:

Look at how little shoulder rotation you have at the start of your backswing.Β  You club isn't staying in front of you and connected with the arms in the backswing.

Β 

Next, your body rotation needs some work.Β  You don't have a stable rotation and you get dumped under on the downswing, which is probably causing your push (looks like a push to me).Β  For me what has really helped is standing up straight like Monte does in a number of his videos.Β  I personally practice my swing standing up twice as much as actually bent over because a lot of the bad moves in golf don't make sense standing up or you simply can't do them.

When I look at your shoulder rotation, you are really dropping your trail shoulder in transition rather than rotating it towards the ball.Β  You get into a shallow position, but then your club has downward momentum and gets dumped under an optimum plane:

From there you need to horizontally rotate the get the club to the ball.Β  Because of that, you get to a more horizontal finish:

So I think it's really worth while to spend time on the rotation driving things and making the correct rotation, all in my opinion.

Been a while since I put a my swing video in this thread. Yesterday I was at the range and decided to grab a video of my driver swing. I can see a couple of things I'd like to work on. But it was a good idea to take a video.

Β 

I guess it's time to get back to work on the swing.

Bill, I would hope you'd know by now that when I don't bring my tripod, I have to balance my phone on my golf bag. I know, I suck at Camera angles.Β 

I'll try to remember to throw the tripod in the trunk for next time.Β

I need to get some lessons. I have a good swing coach, but this year has been particularly busy. ... Even more than the normal busy year.Β

Chet, where were you located in the February 2023 videos. I am shopping some indoor venues. Where I was last year it was $250/mo., minimum 3 months.

It's a place in Newark, OH called Joe Giles Indoor Golf.
