Thanks for the additional comments.

So yesterday I worked on creating more pressure between my left bicep and my chest. I was hitting some 8 irons very well. I also worked on getting my hands down faster.

Today...all hell broke loose, and it's because my practice swings look awesome (in my opinion) but my real swings look like complete and utter donkey sh*t.

I don't hvae the greatest golf analyzing software (using the free V1 software on my computer)...so if any of you want to take some measurement line drawing stabs, I would greatly appreciate it.

First, here are some pics I took with some lines I drew. I can definitely see my left arm lower in my practice swing, as well as better club position behind my body. You can even see where I drew shaft lines.

This is my practice swing (wedge)

The yellow line is my starting setup.

The blue line is where my shaft is 3/4 on my backswing

The blue line also is where my shaft is on the downswing, which I think is a great thing..means I am on plane. Ideally, don't I want that below the yellow line though?

The green line is my left arm position when I am at the utmost top of my backswing.

This next picture is my real swing. Same colors apply, but you can see how screwed up everything is, and more over the top or upright.

Here are my videos that I have slowed down, which match these

Why I can't swing with a ball in front of me, as if it was my practice swing is beyond me.

    • The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.
    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
