Thanks for your comments & observations on my swing last week.
I tried to take it on board & reading the board, what seemed to make most sense was to try a form of stack and tilt.
I've had the dvd's & book for a little while but haven't really delved into them as I thought the swing was a little "quirky"! Anyway, seeing how appaling my own swing was I decided that I couldn't care what it looked like as long as I could get it to work with some form of consistency.
So, this evening I've had a bit of a bash to see if I could make any of it work.
I know I'm not doing it correctly & I still see a weight shift to my right during the backswing, but I can immediately see an improved (for me!!) impact position and a little bit of lag.
Can you have a look and give me some pointers to work on or even tell me to drop it as I'm nowhere near! I'm sorry but I don't really understand TGM speak, so accumulators, etc don't mean a lot to me - if you could give it to me in plain English if possible, it would be much appreciated and easier for me to understand.
Many thanks

Looks pretty good to me, for what that's worth. Maybe try to feel a little more weight on the left leg going back and shorten the backswing a bit. Impact looks pretty solid and you're moving forward nicely.

But come on man, sit down and go through the damn book! It's an easy read.

Nice work! How were you hitting the ball? I'm far from an expert, but this looks like an upgrade over the other swing you posted.

The next things for you are likely to push harder with the hips and then really tuck and extend them on the follow-through. Ask Stretch about "jumping."

Nice work!

Amazing how rarely the actual ballflight gets discussed in these threads. I guess we just want pretty looking swings?

      39, +4. A bit better hip slide stuff. More lateral, less turn with the hips.

      I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2!

      Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
