yeah it dose. i ill make it wider im going hitting a few this evening so i ill try get used to having it a bit wider maybe 3 or 4 inchs ?? also my posture dose not look great. I always though it was better but seeing it on video it dose not look great. sliceing is obviously my problem so im finding it hard to get an in to out path so i was thinking maybe if a get better posture this would help. it really dose not feel right when i get more angle on my spine :( but it looks like that would help ?? any more thought would be great .. thanks

Fair amount of sway backwards on the backswing--try keeping your hips more centered on the backswing. Nice, smooth tempo--reminds me of Montgomery.
I notice that you appear to swing out to in a bit--is your usual ball flight a fade that starts a bit left and fades back to center?

Please post some daytime videos--I'd be able to see more details.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
