I've been working on making my swing more Stack & Tilt-ish.
How'd you think I'm getting on? What should I be working on next?

Both balls go out nice and straight about 150 yards with my 6 iron.

You may want to try being a little closer to the ball. Your hands are pretty far away from your body at setup.

Looking really solid, actually. See if your can slide/drive your hips a bit more toward the target through impact.

Nice arm extension, on both. I wish I could keep my head that still as well.

Thank Mo! Keeping my arms straight through impact was the latest piece in the puzzle for me. I've never had a problem keeping my head still, but looking at the video it still looks as though my hips move back a touch...

You should see me with my driver lol. I've actually moved closer to the ball lately but any nearer and it feels very cramped and I'm more likely to hit the ball fat.

Thanks Delav, much appreciated. I've never really bothered much with my hips to be honest. I power the downswing by turning the shoulders as hard as comfortable and the hips seem to move out of the way on their own. I'll have to look into it.

Thanks for the comments chaps.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
