Actually it is not really pain but more that the limber region gets tight and then I am not able to correctly turn the hips anymore. It is actually more range of motion or mobility.

I am sure a better posture will be less stress for the back.

Yes, so not arching the back will take out the tightness in the lumbar.

Tired it today and it feels less stressed Quality of the shots was the equal, but it feels less stressed for sure. I am wondering if that isn't already to much of a C-posture?

Hey guys

just a little update after 3 months of not playing due to a ruptured adductor muscle fibre :(

I am starting the ball a bit more to the right trying to have little draw shape, miss is the push which is then not coming back anymore. 

What do you think of the swing?

Any idea?

As it was sunny this afternoon here in Germany I took the chance to work on the swing again. 

I was doing almost slowmotion swings putting the focus on technique and rhytmn. I have the feeling that really helped the smoothness of the swing.

Did you guys have similar experience with slowmotion swings?

I'd take a look at the feet flare/turning rates video again (below). Your hips don't turn very much and they look very level. Makes the downswing a lot harder when your lower body isn't creating any depth or speed.

Compare that pic with these guys.

Cool, yeah my hips are quite passiv in the backswing, good idea!

I will try to get the hips and legs a little more active in the backswing and see how this works out for me.

Here is an other front on view.

It seems to be really hard to open up my hips without losing much of my balance somehow,

On the backswing?

yeah on the backswing

 I guess the problem is my left knee, it won't get forward towards the ball enough :(

In the downswing and follow through the hips are opening and I am getting to the left side without any problems.

Yeah that's certainly part of it. Do this drill...A LOT. Do a few rehearsals before every swing.

I tried out a drill I saw on youtube, really worth giving it a try to get a good feeling for transition an weight shift.

I am doing my backswing with a very narrow stance and as soon as I reach the top, I step into the downswing.

Hey guys happy new year to all of you!

I am still working on the drills mvmac sent me, really really good if someone has difficulties with the right shoulder turn and dipping of the head.

In order to cure the pull shot which occurs when I am trying to hit it really hard or  pressure I added a little bit more of an insight hand path in my takeaway but allowing the club still to be on the outside and forward of the hands. This then helps in transition to keep the club "behind". 

As well I am using the image, of a wall behind me on which I am trying to pull the club along for as long as possible.

With those in mind I can really go for it and have the security not to pull it  :D

Looking very nice @JaNiclas. Do you have a face-on video?

@iacas  unfortunately I only got an old front on view from November. I will film a recent one soon.

The last month I put the focus more on plane and path to get rid of the pulled shots which fortunately seems to work quite well with the right "feelings"
