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

Okay, so then you can do some work with your head staying on a literal wall. No ball, just see what feels are required - likely more pivoting up and around with the left shoulder while the right drives out and down a bit more. But maybe something different. Try it against an actual wall and see what your cause is.

Thanks Erik, that makes sense, I'll try it out

More atrocious swings. Both were ugly little wipey swings, off the bottom of the face, thin cuts. Head is moving off the wall, just garbage. [VIDEO]https://youtu.be/2hqmweWllRM[/VIDEO] [VIDEO]https://youtu.be/RbhW6yeGg4s[/VIDEO] Thanks to @RFKFREAK for taking the video and not throwing up.

So what? We TEACH some people to move their head off the wall a little bit sometimes. Doesn't appear to be your priority. What are you doing right now? What shots are you hitting? Etc.?

I played a decent round today, shot 79 which is really good for me. Ugh. Anyways, I hate to say it but I have a two way miss. I can push slice it and pull hook it. I'm dismayed with my driver because I feel like the variety of shots I hit shows that I have wild inconsistency with my path and clubface control. I also don't have good consistency with where I hit the ball on the clubface. I would love to have more control of the driver. I'm just guessing here, but it feels like with the driver, my club face closing rate is way too fast and that leads to the inconsistency. I'm trying to feel my arms "stretching" through impact but it feels much easier to do that with my irons.

Two more absolutely disgusting swings. I know the angles are crap, but the wife was doing me a favor.

Lots of motion this way instead of around.

Is there any reason why this might be more difficult (for me) to do with the driver than with the irons? I get that rotational feeling much more easily with my irons, the feeling of turning through the shot, of puring the strike.

I hate myself.

Because the ball's on a tee, and the club has less loft. Sure, there are plenty of reasons.

      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.
