Hi All, first post, hope some of you can help. I have been playing for 4 years, had a few lessons but I just cant seem to get one move right.
Take a look at the photos below- Just before / during / after impact, the arms pull apart, shortening the radius. At impact, the right arm is straight, and the left arm is severely bent. It's the classic duffers move as shown in any golf book you look in, including Hogans 5 lessons. The swing in general is the classic scoop / flipper move. When the club reaches parallel to the ground on the follow through, look at the contrived position my arms are in- The right arm is still way under the left, and the right arm has all the control. The picture below is probably as best as I can do, It has looked way worse than that before.
I have tried some fixes for this like keeping the arms in tight to the body, having something trapped under the armpits etc, but for some reason it just doesn't work out. Sometimes the swing feels OK, but when I refer back to the video, it looks awful. I feel If I can crack this one thing, it will set me on the way.
All ideas welcome. I do have a set of 4 lessons starting again in 3 weeks, but I'm looking for ideas in the meantime.
