Really working on shortening my back-swing so it does not drift past parallel and keeping my head relatively still on the down-swing.

Here are the images, and I'll explain a bit. I'll follow up more in texts, probably.

Though the path is "okay" here, the rates at which you come out of and re-enter and then come out of your angles again will lead to too much fluctuation here. You "stand up" and shallow your hip and torso angles throughout the backswing, you re-gain flexion early in the downswing, but then because the arms are lagging so far behind (see below), you come out of the angles again (and "early extend" a little, which can be a speed piece, too), which can throw the club too far underneath sometimes. Combined with a relatively strong grip, and BLAMMO! Quick hooks.

Compare the above to Tigs:

Tiger dives down a bit at the top, but he does it from an already "flexed" position, not a "standing up casually" position like you do.

Then from face-on, we see the result of the arms carrying on a bit too long and forcing the late early extension I talked about just above:

Hips outrace arms, for two reasons:

1. Arms swing along too far in the backswing and have too far to go to stay in sync on the downswing.
2. Your arms are slow to come down, and could use speeding up.

Compare to Tigs again:

I'll answer your questions in your stupid green bubbles. 😉 😜
