My Swing (atanum)

Folks,

Here's the work-in-progress swing after a month on evolvr.

Thanks to James and Mike for all the advice.

Appreciate your critique and comments please.

That's starting to look much better!  It sounds like they've got you on the right track.

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.
