Yep that's definitely better!

I got the feelings. So so hard to not want to pull down. I felt hands out, external trail arm pressure and keep width while using pivot to drive the swing. It's hard showing restraint. I'll keep working on the slower speeds. 

Thanks

Yes, pivot wise it might almost feel like you're hitting a cut but with how the elbow and shaft works the path is fairly neutral or a little outward (outward relative to your body lines). You can hit draws or fades, just depends on your alignments at address.

Yea, my ideal shot it straight to slight draw never fearing over draw/hook. With my current pattern, I can hit a hook or block fade.

Any drills for external trail arm rotation? When I feel like I'm coming over the top per se, the shaft stands up and I feel this is because of the trail arm.

love your feedback

One thing I've noticed in my swing is that my right shoulder shrugs on the way down, I'm sure that is the effect of pulling down. I'm going to try and feel that the shoulder stays depressed while moving hands out more with the pivot.

Well… yeah, it looks better, but high-speed and face-on videos are helpful.
