Initially, I usually skip amateur videos, as they are so badly produced, but this one, the guy has video editing skills and then, what he said really makes sense to me and I think it relates a little to my swing as well. I'm not so sure I agree w/him about holding the right scapula back, but the rest, I think he's making some good points here. Agree/disagree?

If the right shoulder is lower, the right elbow does not have to be as extended to reach the golf ball.

Basic geometry stuff there… and basically what he's done. I am not sure I love how bent his right elbow still is - if it's too bent, that's also leaving power and speed on the table.

I didn't like his "feel" of keeping the right shoulder retracted, either.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
