Hey Looseleftie, I'm no instructor so take everything with a large grain but if I were giving you tips I think developing some rhythym in your swing is really going to need to happen to get things clicking, good rythym produces tempo wich leads to timing, your backswing is just so slow and deliberate and I know your trying to put yourself in the proper positions but making such a deliberate effort to accomplish that is causing you to be way too stiff. Believe it or not the downswing actually begins before the club reaches the end of the backswing and in your case nothing is happening as far as a downswing until that club is all the way back,good rhythym and tempo will let everything return in an athletic move through the ball.What I meant about the downswing starting before the end of the backswing is your weight shift starting at your feet starts right before that club reaches the end of the backswing.

[QUOTE][/QUOTE][quote name="looseleftie" url="/t/56756/my-swing-looseleftie#post_759282"]Hey Fuzzy, thanks for input here mate... Re posture, is there someting obvious, am I too upright with upper body? My angle feels quite comfortable.. RE tempo, am I too fast or slow? [/quote] Your back looks too rounded, shoulders are slumped a bit. You want to be in an athletic looking position. Kinda like a linebacker in football or a defender in basketball is supposed to look. Your swing tempo is too deliberately slow on the backswing and then your downswing is too quick. Even tempo throughout is what you want. Maybe work on swinging without a ball and counting in your head as you swing to really concentrate on getting that even tempo from start to finish.

    • Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.
    • 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.
