I agree with Golfingdad. No flip. The grip is strong so the wrist looks bent, but it is not. Beachcomber is right about extension. A good drill is MVMAC's video drill to keep that right knee from coming in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRNPMG0GIPU

Here is a good video from Dana which talks about the finish.  Again - you can see to get into that finish - you need to turn the shoulders more horizontally through the impact zone.

He is hitting fat shots because his right knee is bending into the ball.

My miss is a top shot recently with tee ball which sucks and my divots are far out in front of the ball.  I am thinking I am not getting enough back/shoulder turn on backswing. Thoughts?

I would agree with not getting enough turn on the backswing. Left shoulder works too level and basically run into your chin. Going to feel the left shoulder and left hip work more down on the backswing so the shoulder can work more "under" the chin. Will increase how much you can turn.

I would post a video of you actually hitting a shot, and wearing shoes. Hitting barefoot probably would change your swing.

Well that is all I got right now.

Record a video of your swing on your smart phone. It'll probably do 240 FPS.

Upload to YouTube. Embed here.

Look at head. It moves back away. My miss is toe shot. 

How about embedding a YouTube video, eh?

    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
