My sentiments exactly at the end of last year and taking the winter off did not help one bit... Hopefully you can have someone look at it for you.

A little quick, but looks pretty good. The first thing I noticed was that you're not maintaining the bend in your right knee- it tends to pull back and straighten. This forces you to adjust coming down and creates balance issues. Sometimes you're on your toes, others on your heals.

Try to turn around the knee on your backswing. It will help maintain spine angle but also creates a huge amount of resistence which will generate more clubhead speed with less effort.

Just my .02 anyway

I was curious do you usually have shoes on when you golf? If you do I would practice my golf swing with shoes on.

Damn, you rip it man, keep the good work up. P.S. if you have control problems, i would suggest to slow it down. Your plane looks a little steep too, if you dont hit draws, then i would flatten it out.

Actually, if you stop motion on the video I think he is in some some very nice positions. Good position at the top. Nice coming into the hitting area with the right elbow at his side. Stays behind the ball very nicely. Nice little reverse "C". Excellent release on the follow through. I can see where you could be a formidible player.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
