This may seem like a silly question coming from a 13 to a +2, but are you working on getting some movement into your swing? Apparently, Tiger moves about 8 inches in his swing (I think they mean his hip-slide, upper body etc)
In the side on view of your driver, it looks like you swing 'on the spot', not moving back, or forward laterally in your swing...

*UPDATE* (Note the slow swing speed)

Awesome swing

[tterrag]

Thank you. Just need to groove my tempo.

That first swing is Ernie Els smooth. How does your driver swing look now?

[Three Putt]

Very impressive!

How do you score in AJGA events?

Keep it up!

Thats what I was going for, and I will put a driver swing on soon.

Thanks! Well I haven't done particularly well in them, a few top 15s, nothing good, but I have an upcoming AJGA June 1st. (hoping my new tempo will fix my swing, because thats the only thing holding me back atm, last tournament 80% scrambling but shot 77, 77!)

*Update*
After recently re-reading the book "Golf's Sacred Journey", I have started using a process called SFT( See it, feel it, trust it). First, I see the shot, next I feel the shot(a waggle at setup or practice swing) then I finally let it go and trust it. This process has helped me tremendously, it helps me focus and keep control of my game(no more doubles-triples). Hope this helps you guys, and I highly recommend the book.

Uhh, please give me a more elaborate explanation. Today I shot TWELVE OVER ON 9 HOLES, so I need to work on the swing, badly.

[tterrag]

You visualize your shot, ( height, shape, trajectory, finish). Next feel the shot (feel the moves necessary to hit that shot). Lastly, trust in your ability and swing and hit the ball with confidence.

Going to put new vids on today. Gone bak to my more natural swing. My golf game really suffered trying to search for the "textbook" swing.

Now your talking!!! Smart move. With all the assistance and advice you learned a lot about angles and results... however, everyone and every body type can't have the same textbook swing that some folks seem to think is a fix-all for everyone.

I did this with my putting last time out and it made a big difference. I also did it with difficult shots, all of which went well. Sometimes it is easy to forget with an "easy" shot (good lie, yardage, etc).

And very nice swing man. I have been making some big improvements with mine and plan to post up the progress as I continue.

with the new slower tempo, did your distances drop?
