Your hands aren't leading, and your weight is on your back foot.....that is all I can see wrong though.

It looks like the ball is in the air already, so its not really an impact postion. Its hard to tell.

Care to elaborate? Is it as simple as "not getting through the ball" or are my driver woes more deeply seeded?

It could just be the angle... but your hands are way too far behind the club. Your hands should be leading with a nice lag for power.

Your chest is way behind the ball. It should stay on top of it and move through it after impact.

Your hips have not cleared nearly enough.

Both arms are bent at impact - not as much as Westwoods, but still hard to be consistent like that.

Need to see the video but it appears you won't be releasing the club through impact.

Because you are so far back on your right side, I assume you have a very inside swing path and normally push and slice the ball out to the right.

Not nearly enough lower body involvement. Get hips forward and at impact your hips should be opening up. Get those things right and it will fix some other things.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      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.
