Take a look at the thread and you will notice that a good golf posture will usually have a straight lower back with the tail bone slightly tucked in while there will be slight inclination of the upper

Any thoughts or anything jumps out at you that I need to address? Thanks for watching!

;-)

Even though we can't see it, can tell the head is moving too far to your left. Need to have the right shoulder go down longer on the backswing. Check out this video

Would also recommend turning both feet out, will help you turn more and allow the right shoulder/right hip to work down more.

Thank you so much. You already told me about moving back. I will focus on that for my next update. Thank you thank you

Posture still not there but I was working on not moving laterally backwards away from the ball and more forward weight transfer and more importantly hip toward the target.  I hit some pure shots today when I did it correct and wow it feels so good it feels like hitting butter or not hitting a golf ball at all.  Any tips?

It's tough to say but your grip looks really palmy.

Keep those hips turning so they don't move back.

Yeah just make sure the heel pad of the right hand is "on top" of the grip. Not like the left pic.

Yes it's the same pic, difference is where the line is drawn. Blue line illustrates a palmy grip.

So it looks like im bunching up/bending lead arm just after impact instead of keeping it straight. Any drills to work on to keep front arm straight during and after impact till at least after club is pointing toward target?

The grip will help. Don't lose sight of your priorities, the things Erik and I have recommended will improve impact.

so I took some pics of my grip...took my regular grip then removed one hand and tried to get different angles...took my regular grip and removed the other hand and tried to get some angles on that one....then took regular grip and had wife snap two pics but angles are poor on those.  Not sure if this is palmy or not...I'm not sure what the heel pad is

I made another post because I figured the issue is with my right hand...first pic is after I saw a video on grip where I feel it more on my fingers and feel like my heel pad is over the club almost like my hand is OVER the club...second pic is my normal grip where Its still in my fingers but end of club finishes in between the heel pad and the thumb pad

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
