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 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
