Your left shoulder should seek to drive down as you turn more, because you just turn super flat by standing up almost immediately during your backswing, then you have to "manually add" the bend back in quite a bit from transition to early downswing, which inhibits your ability to get forward and turn properly on the downswing and into the follow-through.

Thank You for the Response.  Left shoulder down...Maybe a feel of the left should coming under??  I had a feeling it might look pretty ugly, and I am not disappointed in that regards.  Thank you, I will work on this for a few weeks and see about making some progress on this...

Particularly early during the backswing.

Put a towel on the wall, and your head on that towel. Make some backswings.

Or, have a friend hold a hula hoop around your shoulders and perpendicular to your "spine angle" between your shoulders.

  • 2 weeks later...
Been working on this daily. I will get some film later this week. Went to the range today after work. alot of slow half swings working mostly on my turn. I am seeing the ball through my whole swing now so i think the video is gonna show some positive changes in that regards. Also hit the ball mostly fat, probably because of a combo of early extension and weight not forward.....we shall see. I can see how changing one picture is gonna lead to changing more pictures as the old compensations wont fit anymore...isnt golf fun;-). On the plus side nothing thin....

    • Day 319 - More mirror work, same focus on finishing higher and more towards the target. 
    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
