Here it is.

Down the line, December 14, 2010.



Front view, December 14, 2010.



I notice on my takeaway, I sort of lift the club.

I also think I should fire my left knee more to keep from getting stuck.

Also looking for tips on how to stay on plane.

The DTL video doesnt show a back swing. I hate to say it, but thats not what your swing looks like when you are hitting a ball. I would hit a couple crap balls off into the woods or w/e....but we gotta see you hitting a ball.

I hit some balls in the simulator this evening.

This is one of my better results 12/16/2010.

This is a problem I have right now.  I pulled it left and with the draw/hook spin on it, it is WAY left.

This is something that needs to go away QUICKLY.  It doesn't happen often but I never want to see it again.  Shank right.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Upon further review, my swing is still very much an over the top move, which I have been trying to fix.  This is obviously why I keep pulling the ball.

    • 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.
