I'd look at a few things before I worried about that.

  • Grip.
  • Ball position.

But… yeah, your right hip fires too early, and it gets your right elbow in a bad spot.

I’ve had success moving my left hand grip more into the fingers and significantly weakening my right hand. 

I’ve focused a lot on my pivot the past few months but still have a ways to go. Roughly, I’ve tried to stop pushing off early through my trail toes and extending through my trail side low back. Instead I’ve tried to stay in my trail heel longer, activate trail side external oblique, and externally rotate through trail hip from the top.

Putting this together with a shallow arm swing has been difficult. I’m searching for speed (currently ~107), and struggle most with driver.

Any comments or observations are welcome!
