No vid, but I seems shaft steepens much more at A3, if I keep left elbow turned at least until A2.

Thanks again. This is bit of a breakthrough in my bid to get the season going again.

Lower hands at address. Trying to umbrella up shaft at A3 as much as I can but still a bit up and out at A4. Contact feels solid though.

@iacas

Higher hands at A4?

P.S. Skip to 0:32 to see movement.

I would recommend to practise with proper shoes on if possible, preferably the ones you play with standing on grass or something that you get good traction onto.

Finally broke down and put on the arm sleeve to quite right arm and allow palm opening. Couple of hair better as club not as across the line at A4, but needs lot of clean up. Arms, hands, back, neck needs to soften. 

Sorry about the flip flops @Tepi90, I promise I wear proper shoes on the course. Also honestly I don't want to grip the ground too much anyway. Have reasons.

Can you shoot a video before coming to CHQ of your backswing where the club lays off AND your right elbow stays very wide - > 90° and off your ribs?

Yes, I am determined to put a hole through it with a cheap wiffle ball...😁

The day I succeed, will be immediately the day I design a new funky shape driver and sell it with a scream filled infomercial...😆.

I think I can do much better with a steeper shoulder pitch. Didn't record but did a few A1-2-3s this morning with a feel of left shoulder turning underneath my right shoulder. That seemed to immediately free up my arms to allow the club to climb up to plane by A3.

Swinging apprehensively as ankle still in head somewhat. But can't complain, all in all way ahead of the game.

CHQ trip couldn't possibly come at a better time.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
