One would think it shouldn't be tough to get the club more something like this with a six iron.  Let the right knee straighten a bit going back.  Then you know keep the head steady while going through.  This is simple stuff yes for sure.  In my defense I just want to include that it's not like I don't agree what's 'better'.  Its not as if I prefer being across.  I've tried to get closer to this many many many many times.  Maybe today I will try again for the millionth time at the range and again look on video and hate myself for not being able to do this simple thing.

That's proof that you can do it.

Look, you asked for our help, and then when we offered our opinions, you said basically "yeah yeah, I can't enjoy golf that way, thanks but no thanks."

Which is fine, but stop being quasi-bi-polar about it all.

Ok,  so worked on it a bit.  Think I got a better thing going with the right hip-felt deeper.   Ballflight was  stronger and with less right in the dispersion.  I actually worked just waving at it with a six iron and noticed my ball with this swing feel was starting left on the little bunts.  I weakened the left hand just a tiny shade and they were nice.  Obviously I hit some at full speed and for me,  today I was really doing better than average in terms of better distance and less rightness of dispersion.  Looking at this though My clubhead is not where I am trying to get it-still backup the shaft and right elbow sucks.  

 Felt like from the top I could rotate more aggressively without throwing things off kilter.  Didn't get face on but sure didn't feel slidey.  This here is something I can do.  

 

I apologize to all for the quasi bipolar nature of my postings.  I let my emotions get the better of me far too much when it comes to golf ideas and concepts and chat.  I mean no harm.

My dispersion is tightening up.  In no way do I own it yet but trying to implement what was suggested in my own way is showing very solid results at this point.  I am going to continue this...It actually feels good.  Like this...I can get better...Lyrics first 230 are money

I'm pretty sure this was seven iron.  I think I was working on a shorter quicker move to prevent the cross line.  I was into that for a while the quickness going back forced me to come forward quick.  It was not a true swing though.  This move was workable on the range but failed on the course.  I had to get this off an old camera.  Unfortunately for the purposes of the thread I deleted all old videos off my older computer except a couple a couple years back.  I am glad I did except for the purposes of this thread.

 

I found this one.  This is my long drive swing.  I can't even come close to this anymore but I am more consistent.  Longest I will ever hit it here.

 

These videos are a great reminder why I need to go on a diet!

Overall I like your swing...especially for an amatuer.

Your tempo and rhythm... and your spine angle through impact needs a little work, IMO. But you have a good swing.

In my bag Driver: Cleveland CG tour black Fairway Woods: Diablo Octane 3 wood; Diablo 5 wood Irons: Mizuno MP53 5-9 Hybrid: Cobra 3, 4 T-Rail Wedge: 46* Cleveland, 50* Cleveland, 54* Titleist, 60* Titleist Putter: Odyssey protype #6 Ball: Maxfli U4/U6... But I'm not really picky about the ball I use.

    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though. 
    • This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.
    • I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
    • I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play. 
    • This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online.
