My Swing (Stretch)

[Stretch]

Working on changing backswing picture. Monitoring ball position (more centered), A1 to A2 (less under), thoracic extension after A2. Still need lots more of latter but progress made -- right elbow working better, left arm not so trapped across chest. Interesting how downswing pieces also start to clean up from there even with zero focus.

More gooder! Keep at it. I won't add more now, but only because I think you know what you're on to and what's next.

Up at 5:30 am and everyone else in the house is still asleep? Good time to grab a sand wedge and work on changing the picture! Golf tan is coming along pretty well by English standards ...

Trying to practice what I was preaching to Saevel. Exaggerated hinging in BS to get to a better position at the top and on a steeper plane in DS -- with shaft coming down the right forearm. Right elbow needs to push more into pitch from A5 I think?

Maaaaaaaybe . I'd like to see a bit more Key #2 with the rest of what you have going on there. I know you're tall, but we had you jumping back in Boston pretty early and you were still able to reach the ground. :) So similar things here: Key #2 focus on getting the belt forward and then up. The rest looks great.

Thanks Erik. I'll work that in.

Driver DTL. Trying to get the left arm above the stripe on the jacket at the top of the backswing and the shaft exiting above it again on the other side. Better than it used to be, but still plenty of room for improvement.

Starting to see some decent differences from last year in the travel of the club head at the top of the backswing and the wrist conditions after the transition. Ball is going higher and further.

Wow those are big pictures -- is there any way to size down the JPG that Analyzer exports or to scale the upload to TST?

TST scales them.

NICE changes!

That A5 looks great Stretch!

Those are BIG changes man!

Wow, great work @Stretch

Thanks gents. Have wasted a lot of time stuffing around trying to dig it out of the dirt, when I should have known better. Only quite recently started to make progress again by: Committing to getting everything on camera, lots of slow-motion work, lots of deliberate exaggeration of key pieces (changing the picture). Nothing that isn't preached here by Erik and Mike almost daily!

Intention above was to get to A2 by the time the hands were in the middle of the right thigh and then to have the shaft hinged at 90 degrees or better by A3. Not quite making it and the later downswing is messy, but baby steps ...

Let us know when you want the "next" piece. When this is baked in.

Your work is definitely paying off. Great stuff!

Wedge, continuing hinging of wrists from A2 to A4 to get right elbow folding better and hands and left arm higher at top.

@Stretch

What do you feel in your hands from A4 to A5?  You have a nice transition that flattens the shaft and gets you in the right position at A6 and 7.  I struggle with this as do many other posters in this section.

Not going to lie, I have absolutely no awareness of that happening, it just does.

In fact, most of my my time is spent trying to put more steepening elements into my swing, so I'll trade you for some OTT!

Proving, I guess, the proposition that every golfer is uniquely frustrated in his own special way.
