That is how I think about it. I like to think about it moving naturally at the point where you would be almost impinged if it didn't move. But that being said I don't know what I am talking about either :P

I have been super busy with work the last month or so and haven't been able to get a swing video done at all. I have been able to run a lot of drills though. I have been doing lots of the preset drills and working on getting a full rotation and swinging down hard with the arms (I have also been working on keeping a connected feeling between my trail arm and my body). I can definitely see a huge difference. I hit the ball consistently straight to a push draw, I will get the odd fade or slice when I take a poor swing (2 or 3 times a round). This is definitely the best I have ever hit the ball. I shot a 79(+9) the other day on a fairly easy course, and my scores have been hovering around 81 otherwise. I get down from work in a few weeks and hopefully can get a couple of videos in before the golf season is over here.

GPS is predicated on timing. A signal is sent back and forth between the receiver and the satellite and the amount of time it takes to go there and back is recorded, then this is done with at least 2 other satellites. The GPS device knows where these three or more satellites are and the uses those positions and time it takes for the signal to go from the receiver to the satellite to calculate your distance from each and then uses all the distances to triangulate your position. It is all based around the atomic clock.

I have never seen a driving range like that before, the little tee mechanism is so cool!

That is a ton of golf in one day. Playing well on holes 19-27 is pretty impressive.

Jumping in on this, I am working on the same slow arm problem. How would you describe the feel of having faster arms?

Plan for the week. More preset drill working on weight forward but with faster hands and arms. Lots of practise backswings with more rotation while maintaining steady head and not letting the hips slide back As well I will be adding these stretches and excersizes to my normal routine for a little more upper torso rotation. http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/torso-rotation I'll post some new videos in a few days and hopefully there is so improvement.

Also it looks like the pro on the right has his shoulders more turned then I do. I thought you wanted them to be pretty close to parallel to the target line at impact. Is that not true? Should I be swing my shoulders and torso faster or just getting the arms further ahead/faster/more infront of my body?

Okay that is the drill I have been doing. I will keep that up but work on getting the arms going faster and more rotation on the back swing.

How much further should my weight be? I feel like I am finishing with 80+ percent of it on my front foot, is it just getting there too late? What do you mean by speeding up my arms? I never had an issue with not rotating enough before, I think with the amount of short swings I have taken practising I have gotten into the habit of under rotating so that shouldn't be too hard to straighten out. Thanks a ton for the info!

Hmm does it matter if my back heel is raising up like that? or is that an indication of something going wrong.

This is looking a little better I think Still not as good as the guy on the right, guess they aren't going to pay me to play yet.

Finally some new video. All I was concentrating on was getting my weight forward and striking ahead of the ball. It felt like I was throwing it way forward but in the video it doesn't seem all that extreme. Shout out to AbsoluteTruth for the ball and string idea.

Been stuck up north at my job and haven't been able to get my hands on a working camera (resolution on the laptop was also way to low). I have been doing lots of work on the preset drill, I feel like I am getting better and sliding my hips forward while still getting good rotation. Hopefully I can get somebody to record my swing this evening and I will post it too see if there is any noticeable difference.

Looking awesome man! Gives a guy hope!
