I don't see any animal abuse going on here... You've got a good swing, @colin007 . Funny how we are always our worst critics.

It's a photo showing that you're NOT goat humping.

EJ, that was supposed to be only for you...

Uhm, not so much, no:

would you say that there has been improvement in the above pic compared to last years impact position below?

I have been trying to work on getting my weight/hips forward more, hoping that would help with my flip.  i'm trying to get it through my thick skull that flipping is a lot of times the result of not getting my weight forward.  I also struggle with my upper center moving forward along with the hips, which pretty much forces me to flip or else I wont hit the ball...

Of course! The new impact (though a bit closed) looks quite good!

well, for poops and chortles, I am posting this here - it was posted already in another thread but im putting it here for insight.  I know its not the greatest of angles, and the lighting is poor, but if theres anything you feel like throwing out there, go for it.

I apologize for the extended and gratuitous ass shot.

You don't have to be sorry for that.. It's your friend who should be sorry, but I won't mention his name (he knows who he is).. I would question how much of a friend he really is though if I were you! Hahahaha

What?  I was only trying to get your best side.

Although, good point about the angle.  I think this was our last hole and I had just thought of it so, rushed it a bit.

You don't have to be sorry for that.. It's your friend who should be sorry, but I won't mention his name (he knows who he is).. I would question how much of a friend he really is though if I were you!

Hahahaha

I use him for his car. :dance:

Here is a new vid, 5 iron down the line, I think the angle is ok. Any thoughts? I'd like the backswing to be a touch shorter. Feels too flat footed at impact, not sure about my hips if they should be more open or not. Contact on this shot was not great but I'm sure all my swings look about the same.

You could probably have the hips more open at impact, but I don't know if that's your priority piece.

How are you hitting the ball? Are you missing left and right?

Yup. Some left, some right. If I leave the face open I get this gross high fade. If the ball starts left it'll keep going left. Ball still goes too high for my liking.

Is your butt coming off its wall too? Or just the head?

Not the butt. Not until after impact. Just the head. Looks like about three inches?

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
