Folks,

Appreciate if you could help me with some experiences , swing thoughts, suggestions on the transition problem   I am struggling with for months now.  I tend to yank my scapula too much in the back-swing, resulting in my elbows going behind the shirt seam and cutting across the line at times. The resulting down-swing transition is steep as my elbow gets stuck and then  I  compensate and come under the plane etc. Thanks for  watching.

Try uploading driver swings to see the hips better.

FO and DTL.  YouTube of course.

Your head dip early in the backswing seems alot.   Is your weight too much on your toes ?

I see sync issues ... where your takeaway is too much hands and arms.

You made lots of progress from 2012 to 2014 !

 

To feel the hips move properly ... you might need a better setup.

I think your left knee moves laterally (parallel to ball target line) too much and doesn't BEND enough (move towards the ball target line). 

But to maximize feeling the hips, try being more active with:

setup normally and drop the club.  Put your left hand on your knee.  Bend the knee (knee cap move directly towards the ball target line) ... try this while straightening the right leg. Get the feeling.

The setup again, drop the club and put your right hand on the front of your hip.  Remember, the goal is to move your right hip AWAY from the ball target line. It really shouldnt move laterally AT ALL.  Lateral sway is just a liability. 

Getting these two things started together (left knee bend, right leg straightening) early sets your hips on a different trajectory. 

Being able to see the knees (shorts) helps analyze the hips.

At A4 (top of swing), your right hip has moved ALOT targetwards.  Which normally is good.   But this might be a bit much.  I think the earlier your BEND the left knee towards the ball target line (not allowing the left knee to drift laterally ) it will help things.

Above all ... upload proper footage !

The swing is over 5 years old.

As you know, but still… let's just see what new stuff he's got. Maybe it's the same, maybe not.

    • Day 12: did the yardstick putting drill for a bit while watching tv. 
    • Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length. 
    • Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!
    • Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground. 
    • Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
