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.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • 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.
