Hey there!  You look like a very flexible person.. It is amazing how far back you are able to take that club in the back swing.

I think you need to pay attention to your A3 position, which is arms parallel to the ground on the backswing.

Basically most professionals at this position will have the club 90* in relation to their arms, I think you just take it back so far as you are reaching back with your arms that it is difficult to get to that position.  The problem is then on your down swing as you have a huge gap between your hands and your body by the time you get to the A6 position.

Take a look again, and I will see if I can get some still shots to show you exactly what I mean.

The turn rates will help clean this up near impact,

You on the left, Rory on the right. Need to get those hips to work better to allow the arms to work better. A good feel would be to try to keep that right heel on the ground as long as possible.

Are you content with a 55° shoulder turn?

I don't know that I would be.

Edit: Just like I said the first time: http://thesandtrap.com/t/69465/my-swing-gingergolfer#post_960533 .

No not at all, would increasing my shoulder turn make it easier to drop the club inside?

Relax left elbow in set up. (Pic 1) Get some better upper torso extension (video Mike and Eric showed ) in backswing (Pic 2). Practice a bit of Snead squat keeping femurs external in initial downswing move (Pic 3), pressure going to right side,not a slide (Pic 4) Get weight (pressure ) over to right heel with right hip rotation, will if you don't slide as much on downswing

    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo. 
    • Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.
