It looks like you pic your head and body up too early after impact.  You should drive through the ball and keep your head down and body down as well.  Sorry this is a little hard to explain.  Pause rory's swing at 19 seconds and you will see what I mean.

If you pause it there...to me it looks like you abruptly pick yourself up out of the shot.  Which would mean to me that you aren't driving through the ball but picking the ball up.  Just what it looks like to me.

I appreciate you comment and when i pause Rory's swing the big thing I notice is his hips are pointing towards his target and mine seem to be way more closed.  Thanks again I will have to work on this!!!

any other ideas on why the picture above is bad?  I'm think not enough weight shift/hip slide?

That is correct.  In your photo your right leg is/was pushing out towards the ball, notice your heel is up.  It needs to be pushing towards the target, or your left side.  Your not getting your weight on your left side causing you to flip at the ball.

If you look at your release point high & left you want to finish low & to the left, this will give you the feeling of compressing the ball.

Your hips didn't slide forward. Your right knee kicked in towards the golf ball, stalling the slide and spinning the hips instead.

Working on a slower take a way and more hip slide.  I think I'm closer as I've see a change in ball flight.  Something with the slower take a way has helped the hips move more?  Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.

I've been Playing Golf for: 25 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 8-9

My typical ball flight is: high fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hoselrocket

More hip slide.  Ball position too far back, due to this.  You are just turning the hips and straightening the left leg too soon.  Feel as if you are keeping your left knee flexed longer on the down swing, more of a feel of driving through the ball, not just a turn.

Thanks for the input...I will give that a try...did you see any difference from the 1st video to the last?

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
