My typical ball flight is: high fade
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: the sweep, trying to get solid contact with forward shaft lean

Welcome to the site. Can you film again and back the phone or camera up? It will help more if we can see your whole body and the club.

Yes I can next time I can get out to the range, the setup is at my house and because of the space limitations this all I have for now.

Here are some better views from the range tonight. I was pulling a lot of shots to the right and hitting a bunch fat. Towards the end of the session I was getting my hips around a bit quicker and keeping my arms more connected to my body. This seemed to help the pull and contact issues. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions I would love to hear any and all feedback.

@Arthurd561

Below is a screenshot of you at setup, A1, and top of backswing, A4. Notice how far back your head and hips have moved. This makes it difficult for you to move your weight far enough forward at impact to have an inside out swing path and may cause the pulls you described.arthurd.thumb.jpg.1839f5b7947a574cb99fbc

Check out the thread below. You can practice making a centered hip turn anywhere including in front of a mirror. What will happen is it will be easier for you to get your weight going forward from the top of your backswing toward impact.

 

There are other things that may correct themselves if you fix this part as well. Film your practice and work on it slowly at first as described in the thread below.

Thanks for the feedback @boogielicious I was just hitting some balls into the practice net trying to keep my hips centered. This made it easier to get my weight forward as you said. It also made my swing feel shorter, quicker and more compact. I will continue to work on this and upload some more swings as I get it down. Once again thank you for sharing your thoughts it is truly appreciated.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
