Hey ParkAveRic,

I think the biggest thing that you need to address is the amount of head movement you have during your swing. Without a face on view, it is difficult to tell how much lateral movement you have going on. We can see, however, how much your head moves up and down throughout the swing. I would imagine that this is the guilty party with respect to the fat shots you described. I have included a couple photos. The first shows where your head is at the top of your swing and at impact in relation your address position. The second is something that i think you should work on. In order to keep your head steady, it is important that you turn left shoulder down. I have also included a short video that describes this better than I could. Welcome to the forum and let me know if I can help going forward.

Thanks for the post.  I could tell I had excessive head movement but could not pinpoint how to keep it steady.  I very much appreciate the detailed response and video.  I will try this out and try to post additional videos (with both views) after I feel I have made a meaningful adjustment.

Thanks Again!!!!

    • Day 9, May 13.  After work, I went to my practice room for a dozen balls (two sessions of a half dozen each).  I may do more later, but I wanted to make sure I posted here too.  Same priority as yesterday, with the arms lifting. 
    • Day 263 6-13 Setup alignment stick station for hands off body drill. Worked on wrist arch as well. Working on not hitting the stick 😀
    • Day 64 (13 May 26) - last practice of golf team for the school golf team….got to hit a few balls while working with the kids.  
    • 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)
