Hi, welcome to the site.

Would like to see flare your feet out so you can turn more on the backswing. Having the lead foot turned out will also help you get more weight forward on the downswing which will help with your fat/thin misses.

Thank you so much for taking a look and for the advice. Excited to work on that this evening. So I need to be able to turn my shoulders and hips more. I am leaning way forward on follow through and often feel off balance. . Is that a problem?

The head leaning forward happens well after the ball is gone and it's just a reaction to some of the things that are going on with the downswing. Improving a golf swing is managing a priority list so I want to see how much the feet flare changes things.

Better! Keep that right hip moving up and AROUND more on the backswing.

Thanks so much I will work on that. Also looks like my head is dropping a good 4 or 5 inches on backswing

Yes, that's related. Turning that right hip up and around will lessen the drop.

      Day 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad.

      Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

      Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
