Dude, I post in mine almost daily. Post away.

I'll post like 4 videos in a week and they all look almost identical...but I can go back and see/read things and re-remember something I've forgotten or neglected. That's what this is for.

When you say that maintaining bent knees can cause lumbar issues, do you mean immediate problems or long term? Should I be concerned that I create this much of a shoulder turn without straightening my knee or do I just have an unusual amount of flexibility?

Does your back hurt now?

I think you're just a flexible dude, if it doesn't hurt now you should be fine. Also it looks like your knee still decreases in flex somewhat, we don't want it to lose all it's flex.

BTW your tailbone is too far behind you at address

Whoops i posted that in the wrong thread

I moved it from the Myth thread to this one

Ohhhh ok thanks I was really confused lol. Does my tailbone being too far behind me mean I'm squatting to much?

No, knee flex at address looks fine.

I was making some natural swings today like I'd do on the course and hit a lot of good shots right where I wanted them to go. I think I've made some progress keeping the club in front of me because I hit my first pull in years about a third of the way through the bucket lol

Check out this drill, will help you sequence the arms with the pivot.

So I should work on keeping my elbows as close as I can during my swing? Sorry I'm having trouble figuring out what i should take from that video. I get kinda lost when explanations are really technical lol

Your swing gets very long on the backswing, makes it hard to time things on the downswing. So rather than have the arms lift excessively, you'll keep the upper part of your right arm on your torso.

The tee or glove in your right arm pit will make sure that when your backswing stops, your arm swing will also stop. Things will be more in sync on the downswing instead of having the arms trail the pivot which leads to contact and path issues.

When you do it correctly it's going to feel like you're making a half backswing. Just wanted to warn you ;-)

I am finding a lot of similarities between our swings. You do a great job with your knee action. I'm pretty envious. I saw a couple things that you do with your right knee that I'm going to try myself.

      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.
