My Swing (WillieT)

Be patient and do it slowly. Your left foot issue may try and limit you from pushing the left hip back, but keep at it. I do a lot of half swing punch shots to get to that position and my left arm still bends a bit at impact.

Good point @boogielicious - it has been a journey with the left foot.  Over the past 2yrs or so I have had to learn what it will and will not handle pressure wise. Occasional breakdowns of the skin let me know when it’s too much.  Also I have learned to know what “stable for me” pressure feels like in that foot.  Today I started working on the drill suggested here.  Focusing on the sense of weight on the lead foot, ever so slight hip shift, and maintaining the arms.  Finished with very easy swings with the 52 and 9i - no more than 1/4 to me swings.

Been too long between posting.  Still working on the imbedding "Slo-mo" to YouTube, can't seem to get my mouth held right.  Below are a couple of videos from today.  The face on was shot with the Iphone 11 in slo-mo while I had the older iPad in video (it has no slo-mo option) for DTL.  Some of the earlier stuff from today had showed that I am still "chicken wingleting"....

Here's down the line:

You can move where the slow motion is in iMovie. I can also be done in Photos. There’s a slider down the bottom.

Your grip looks palmy and you don’t really turn your shoulders much, @WillieT. I’d focus on those things first.

Here is a good video.

@billchao and @saevel25 - Thanks for input.  Did not realize how palmy I was still being till I compared what I have been doing to what Erik teaches in the video linked.  Going to start on some exercises focused on better rotation.
