I just felt what you were talking about and took a look at it in the mirror. Much different. Might explain why I occasionally experience back pain even though I am young.

So I see three things to work on. - Posture- stand a little taller but "hunch" the upper back to get the eyes down - Key #1- "stretch" the right hip up more and longer on the backswing

What about my knees do they stick back or stay forward? And how does this play into my whole issue of going down and up in the stroke.

Not sure what you mean with the knees, here's a pic to help. The posture will certainly help with the pivot pieces for keeping the head steady.

I worked on my posture today and it feels much more solid and balanced. But I am still fighting a downward movement with the head. I also took a FO to see if anyone saw anything that could be causing this. Thanks.

Looking good, yeah the posture isn't going to "fix" it, but will make this next piece easier.

Going to feel like you "stretch" your right side to keep the head from lowering and drifting to the right. This will help your centers stay centered, keep the head steady. So instead of the head being over the right foot, it's going to stay more in the middle of the feet and adding the stretch feel will do that.

- Posture- stand a little taller but "hunch" the upper back to get the eyes down

- Key #1- "stretch" the right hip up more and longer on the backswing

- Key #2-  Press into the ground longer so you can thrust, point the belt buckle to the sky.

IMO the posture and Key #1 stuff is the priority for now. More about that in the video

Good comparison here

Been working on the axis tilt and turn hard. One question I have is when getting more axis tilt how do you keep from being too inside out? A couple vids below, wasn't able to get to course but last time ball was going right. Thanks [video]http://youtube.com/watch?v=9Ztvy0X-Fwk[/video] [video]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MSOm7yu5Gzg[/video]

Looking better dude. The basic answer is you keep turning/opening as you transfer the weight forward.

You are kind of getting the axis tilt from "falling" back a bit, still a lot of weight in that right foot.

Compared to this pic. Almost have to make slow swings where your right foot is very "light" on the finish. What will help is having the knees/thighs come together on the followthrough.

Only question I have about that is I took a look at the sliding hips thread and it talks a lot in there about not having the shoulders or hips very open coming down or at impact. The tour pros are way more closed than I am so is it just a matter of squaring the face?

They may not be as closed as you think

Don't lose sight of how important getting the weight forward is to what is going on with your shots. With you "hanging" on your back foot, it's going to cause some directional issues. Basically it makes it harder to control the face.

Still working on my axis tilt and have seen little improvements in my eyes. I seem to hit the majority of my shots fat and right. I don't think I have the right swing thoughts or I understand what I need to feel. Here's a vid [VIDEO]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0FB94KQCDk[/VIDEO]

Thanks for all of this! Surprisingly hit 8/9 greens yesterday and shot even par. Shows that bad swings can produce good results. Will be working on this hard in the coming days.

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
