And I saw that and posted those pictures.  Elbows are a little better.  Kind of tough to tell with the changes since the camera angles of the 2 videos are so different.  What is standing out to me the most is how the right heel rises so fast, weight stays back, which is why I made the latest suggestions

Doesn't the finish seem different?


The finish right now isn't really your concern besides being aware of the fact that you are cupping your wrist too much still, retracting your arms too much still, and probably need to stop your arms faster after impact with more re-hinging. But again, I don't really think that should be a concern right now other than being aware of that.

You really gotta exaggerate what Mike is telling you to do: elbows closer together, hips pushing a lot more forward, feeling no release of the clubhead, etc. In fact, the next swing video I'd post is one of you doing this drill, with weight pre-set forward. Post a clip of yourself from the face-on view either hitting a bad shot and asking what's wrong if you don't know, or posting one where you're hitting the ball first that draws a little bit. Bow your left wrist (knuckles down, not up through impact) in conjunction with elbows together to really exaggerate these feels. Film yourself doing it in slow motion and ask us if it looks good or not (you swinging in slow-motion, not the camera setting).

You're still starting the swing with your arms and not your lower body. There is still little to no hip slide going on here, and you are flipping.

So go back and review what Mike is telling you to do and then go out and exaggerate the heck out of it. Film it and see what it looks like. Post a shank or something if that's all you can get out of it. Even if you shank it, the sequencing may be a lot better, or closer, to what Mike wants you to be doing.

Buy a tripod if you can too, and position the camera more to the left when filming from DTL.

    • Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
