Eh, for me, it's more pronation of the left arm.

Just about done working on the backswing. Don't love the right leg here, but otherwise P1 to P4 is good.

Not worried about the downswing just yet. Hit like 50% shanks today with foam balls (which is fine and actually a good sign for me).

Backswing pretty good. Feeling good about that.

Hmmm. That's in slow motion here, but didn't upload that way to YouTube. Oh well.

GEARS Hybrid session today. My quick notes… (mostly for me, but feel free to ask any questions you've got):

First… working on limiting the pelvis turn.

01_pelvis_turn.jpg

Clearly, I can do this when I want to do it. 🙂 This is just before the end of the backswing. Pelvis sway is a bit too big, though. Worked on that a bit more…

02_lateral_transition.jpg

As I noted, though the thrust is good, the laterals were getting a bit too big so my axis tilt was thrown off a little bit.

Axis tilt and hip turn doing okay here. Right elbow could be better, but not worried about it today.

04_P4_axis_tilt.jpg

I only made nine swings (with some rehearsals). GEARS Hybrid lets you work through things really quickly.

Ignoring the downswing (it's still January!), this backswing was pretty good. Really happy with this one.

06_FO_Swing8.jpg

This shows an inch of movement early, then starting to re-center during the backswing. Even the right image is before P4.

This shows my pelvis trace from above on swing 9: go right, hang out there, and then go left during the end of the backswing. VERY linear. I'm apparently pretty good at this.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Still kinda working on the backswing stuff. I can turn < 45°, but I tend to tilt toward the target a little.

I can tilt away from the target, but I tend to turn a bit more. Case in point.

I can do it, though:

This I can do all day (it's more lateral than I want, but it's very linear):

Here's what 38° of turn looks like. Almost freaking nothing.
