My Swing (mchepp)

Those swings look much improved Mike.

So most shots are pull hooking, irons and driver?

On the swings that you feel like you did a good job of thrusting/extending, do they still pull hook?

BIG pull hooks. Like 10-15 yards off line. Usually with the long irons 4-5-6, but can creep into the lower ones. 3 wood and driver both do the same. I am wondering if my right shoulder is too high causing me to straighten the right arm too fast and close down the face. It is the only thing I can see.

Nah. Your head drifts back a bit and you're probably not quite as open as you should be. Forward, up, and left. More explosive.

It's looking good though. Short term, obviously, just point the face a bit farther right at setup.

Still workin on extension. Better here. Recently been hitting more push fades. Some really big pushes. Not totally sure why. The iron play has dropped a little but still much better than a year or so ago.

Been struggling a bit lately, but here is the swing nonetheless. Struggling with consistent contact. Ball flies pretty straight, but fat, thin, of the heel, etc.

I think these are the types of pictures that have to start changing (and as you know changing these will change the things just before them):

An example of feel isn't real. The swing on the left I really felt like I was doing a better job at extension. Versus the swing on the right from 4 months ago I can't even tell the difference. Just have to keep working at it. :cry:

Still working on extension. Baby steps on this one.

70% swing on the left and the real one on the right. I am pretty close with the swing on the left.

Feel free to let that head rotate through a little earlier.

But it's looking pretty good Michael!

Still working on extension but I also had the above thought for today. Seemed to help with a few things that I had wanted to do later. This is only 70% but it is progress.

These are some images from full swings at 100%. The progress of rotating the head appears to be moving into the full swing nicely.

A nice side benefit is the shoulders are less steep at A8

Still working out the extension piece. There is progress. Painfully slow, but progress.

Lots of good pieces in there Mike, one thing I would suggest to help with the extension is feeling both knees/thighs come together into the followthrough. You're basically going to start feeling this around A6, almost like there is a water balloon between your thighs and you want to pop the balloon.

Extension is the name of the game. Getting better. I think I have slipped a bit on the head rotating forward part. Need to keep working on that.

Yep. But keep on trucking. You're doing well.

Update swing using my iPhone 6 for video. I am impressed with the iPhone video. The FOV is troublesome so I need to shoot vertical video. I can fix it in analyzr but for youtube this is what you get.

New swing. Not much to say other than I continue to work on the same things and progress remains slow.
