@jamiesmith900 you know there are lots of other cool places on this site you can post on that aren't just related to your swing, right?

Indeed.

You have to be patient with changes. They can take a while. Focus on the first priority piece because it will help make the next one easier to conquer. Try not to get side tracked with magazine tips too.

I recommend you film your practice even if it just the slow motion drills. And practice in front of a mirror even without club. Ask questions on feelings because each of us feel something different. It could take several weeks to nail down keeping your head relatively steady. Don't get discouraged.

Check out the rest of the site too. Lot's of fun stuff there.

Thank you so much for advice I'm working so much on knees and centred pivot

It feels like I'm keeping head still but the camera says different just taking one step at time I'm taking everything told on here on board I practice lots every day really so it will take a lot of work to ingrain new stuff as I've practiced badly for so long now my muscle memory only knows bad stuff I'm patient though will get through it:-D I just want to enjoy getting around a course like I used to shooting high 80s low 90s but with this s***k I won't say word lol I'm in 130-140 strokes maybe more at times got from now until May before I get out in summer golf so hopefully get something going to enjoy a round thanks so much guys.

Playing course in a an hour or so

any thoughts I should have to help me get around? Does my swing look any better guys?

It is tough to tell. The camera angle should be aligned with your feet. It still looks like you are coming over the top and will have pulls or slices.

Thanks I really feel more central knees working good but I can feel I'm coming over the top I almost feel my right elbow on takeaway pulls back like pulling lawn mower starter instead of folding I'm not sure though you guys will know more I can feel resistance on my trigger finger early in down swing but my central pivot is tons better

Hi 

Could an early right arm fold cause over the top swing due to not making right shoulder turn? I've got my swing on my swing worked on central pivot and knees but still horrid over the top.

I feel my right arm is so dominant from the top. I start my swing from the ground up but my right arm folds very early and sort of backwards? Any one know any good drills to go with my central pivot drills? Many thanks

Work on the centered backswing drills and even post a video of yourself doing the drill. That will help with the OTT path. Then you move on to the next piece. A good face on view and down the line view will help. I know it's hard from hitting bays, but even hitting into a net in the backyard will help.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
