My Swing (kkennedy1122)

Also, when I focus on keeping the right leg straighter, sometimes I feel like it actually locks up and puts my hips in a strange feeling position. The right knee should never lock on the backswing, should it?

And finally, when do you recommend shifting weight to the front foot? The second the backswing is complete? Or after the swing has already begun?

Correct the right knee never loses all it's flex, just gradually lessens throughout the backswing.

It looks like you do a decent job of getting the weight forward so I wouldn't worry about it for now. I'd keep working on the pivot feels and add the feel of the upper right arm staying more "in front" of your shirt seam. Don't let the right arm pull behind you. Will help sync the arms with the pivot so they don't get so far behind you (right pic).

They are slow mo on my phone, but didn't upload that way. Tried to get the angles right, but he should have been closer to me. Anyway, it seems like in my effort to keep my right elbow from pulling back as you pointed out, I lifted it way too high instead. It seems to me that I have a problem with overswinging. Not in terms of power, but it just looks like I take the club too far back and remove any room for error by a lagging backswing. I have always struggled with this. Is there any inprovement here? The results weren't terrible, but the ball flight was very very high and short. Thanks again for any and all input! Appreciate it

Put a tee or glove in that right arm pit.
