Backswing I need to control the knee movement. Don’t let the left knee travel too far right. Which then keeps my hips from over rotating. Keep knee rotation controlled. The left knee was getting into an unstable compromising position. Overall feeling of, the hips and knees feel facing forward, resisting the torso turn. Just slide the hips right and turn torso with the lower body resisting the turn. The chest is going feel facing down more through out the backswing to keep the spine angle near 90 degrees (upright). I tended to lose axis tilt, leaning towards the target. Some feels are the right knee and hip gain flex as I turn. Left knee stays stable, don’t let it kick in. I think controlling the knees is what is going to work best. I have to do it with a weight shift. The right arm flexes more from the shoulder, gaining width between the tricep and chest. The right arm goes straight up away from my chest. Then allow my right shoulder blade to retract. This helps me get the full turn and keep the swing wide, not needing my right elbow to bend a ton. It also lets me feel like I finish the turn. Downswing Keep back of my neck, at the top of the shoulders, facing the target as I shift my lower body towards the target and lower the arms. That point on my neck shouldn’t shift a ton towards the target. At least not the amount I was doing. I need to maintain the spin tilt longer. It’s going to feel like my chest points down and away from the target as I get the left hip and knee over my left foot to push off of. it’s probably going to feel like I am way behind the ball relative to my head/torso. I should have my weight over the outside left part of my left heel earlier in the downswing and through impact. The inside of my left shoe should come off the ground a bit. -

Great article Iacas. I hadn’t even considered I wasn’t moving forward quick enough, I have been focused so much on getting my left hip out the way. -
