Welcome @Kirma! Great when long time readers become posters.  You’ve probably seen this set of links but it’s always a good reference point to start a swing thread from:

Hi Kirma,

I've got you and a recent tiger swing here at address and top of the backswing.  I would recommend trying to make sure your weight and body don't move towards the golf ball during the backswing.  You want to feel like weight moves from the balls of your feet at address back into the inside part of your right heel by the time you reach the top.  

Work on that for a while and post another swing if you like.  Best of luck!


Jared

Thanks Jared, I’ll try to keep in my posture on the backwing. Appears more noticeable on my backside. Thanks for pointing it out. See how it goes. Very much appreciated.

Is there anyone else who can offer advice for this humping goat?

Happy to help, but how about some videos from good angles? And high-speed video, if you're capable (most modern smart phones are).

My first thought after a quick look is that I would try to get a longer backswing to get more power.

Thanks Henrik, I feel power is ok. I try to get full shoulder turn. Cheers

    • Day 6: lighter session today after a long day. Just some mirror work and slow swings to try to get my feels down. 
    • @Philip Belgium,  If I haven't already, Welcome to TST.  Your injury sounds serious and I hope you fully recover.   Thanks for sharing your story.  ..... each day get 1-2% better.   (A ray of sunshine and a positive outlook)
    • Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.  
    • Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster. 
    • Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.
