No, I acknowledged his reply and only pushed him for perhaps a little more. I did realise that he was finished with me when he said I should ask my all-knowing dad. :cry:

He let you know he was done trying to help you after you made it clear you weren’t going to provide video, he told you what your problem was not, and then after telling you what your problem was... his response was dismissed by you as surely that’s not it. So yes, I think he realized very quickly he’d be wasting his time with you. Anyway, maybe someone else will try to be helpful in a way that you deem helpful without you providing an actual swing.

I certainly didn't say his answer was incorrect. I agreed that my elbow was a work in progress and only sought a tip regarding down swing conditions.

I'm sure I was pretty clear on this.

Maybe it’s me, but that’s not how I take “surely that’s not the reason..”

again, this is all irrelevant now. No need to dwell on it. Let’s let someone bring this back on topic!

Back on topic...

I mentioned my right elbow at the beginning and stated clearly that I was still working on it. I only suggested that I felt my problem lay in the transition or downswing.

I'm happy to receive any advice and "The problem is your right elbow" is a throw away piece of free advice, but is it really helpful?

So my "advice" was "throw away" and not "really helpful" now? Okay.

"Surely you're wrong" (paraphrased, admittedly) isn't a great way to "push for a little more."

It's not.

Your transition and downswing are a result of the elbow.

But again, responses are all going to be of very limited value given you won't submit a video.

Now, yes, I'm done.

Thank you. Now we're talking. That's all you had to say.

Thank you - the facts and truth , as I perceive them , sometimes rub against the normal swing instruction and thereby are usually discounted as being wrong. However , I will make an attempt—-

   It is no doubt that the Right elbow is the pivot point of the golf swing ( reverse for a leftie ) , but no part of the human brain is dedicated to it’s elbows . More than 40 % is dedicated to its * dominant hands * . The other more than 40 % is dedicated to it’s head ( brain, to hear, see smell , etc; ) The hands  can’t go anywhere unless the arms take them so the arms are slave to it’s hands. If the right hand / thumb rotates 270 degrees CCW from a palm up position it’s right elbow will also rotate CCW  up and away from its torso. If the right hand / thumb rotates CW the opposite will occur. 
   You can jam you right elbow into your right hip area where it should be in a good DS and you can still easily rotate your right palm CW from a palm upward position 180 degrees to a right palm down position and this is the way the human is genetically designed and this is the problem most that causes most poor shots and bad swings. Knowledge of the human genetics design  is a major key to a successful golf swing. 
  
Good luck

I'd have gotten there if you hadn't just replied to say "nah, that's not it."

Why is it the person asking for the (free) help gets to dictate exactly how I'm supposed to reply, but… I can't do the same?

Maybe you should have replied "Hmmm, my right elbow, what do you mean? I'm trying to keep it off my ribs. So what do you think is wrong with what it is doing?"

Video, Juli. Still images won't help.

This isn't helpful to her at all.

It's somehow actually less helpful than the back-and-forth semantic bullshit argument above has been.

I respect the desire for privacy with the face, but why the mountains in the background of the down the line shot?

Thank you @Lane Holt

I am a right handed golfer and I swing with right hand dominance. I would love you to simplify what you were saying. I'm sorry but most of it was way over my head. I recently learned how to reverse into a WIDE parking position.

Figure it out for yourself, Lane. It's not that difficult.

Also, there's basically nothing within the context of discussing golf that you can do that would get anywhere close to "upsetting" me.

Something more constructive like, "Take a look at this Pat Perez video where he explains how he solved the same problem after steepening his swing. Or another video where Rick Fowler got really flat on the downswing or go to page 48 of the 'Little Red Book' where Harvey Keitel describes this common fault in detail."

Now that would be helpful.

I've been rumbled! I'm sure long before now.

I hope @Patrick57 doesn't have trouble "transitioning" to life without TST yet again.

Juli,

   Our dominant hands perform millions of everyday task for us that are in our subconscious mind. We never give them a thought. However, the golf swing is NOT in our subconscious mind . It is a learned conscious task that is totally foreign and opposite to human genetics. If it was NATURAL NBA and NFL and other great PRO athletes would be leading the PGA tour . 
  Our shoulders ( upper arms ) are the most flexible joints in our body . This enables our dominant HANDS to bring food to our mouths so we could survive as humans and they will ALWAYS roll over, turn down unless we force them / teach them to perform otherwise . The DS only takes 2/10 seconds . Whatever key you choose to use must be  preprogrammed / prepared before you ever pull the shaft back . The human brain can only sort out and perform ONE ( 1 ) task in that short amount of time . So - what is that one thought to be ? Well - their is a direct connection between the brain and it’s dominant hand . The right in your case . It is responsible for dropping the entire lever system down back around behind our torso and to stay right palm upward during the entire DS . If we don’t we definitely know what is going to happen and you can see it on any range in the world . It is the turning of the torso ( inner circle ) that squares the face, not the hands !
Yes - I know this sounds radical and some will say so , but check out * Cortical Homunculus * and see where I am coming from. 
thanks for your reply .

Good luck

    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
