My latest video of my swing. @boogielicious and @saevel25 I have hit a few hundred balls with 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 shots while trying to keep my hands in front of the club head. I also tried more extension with right arm on the backswing. I used a wire and pipe insulation to limit my backswing. Distance is about half club shorter than before. Do you think there is less flipping now? I will keep doing these drills.

Thanks @boogielicious , I will try hit 1/4, 1/2 and gradually 3/4 swings with hands forward of club head and more hip turn. Thanks @saevel25, I will try more right arm extension. Thank you for pointing it out but it makes a lot of sense. I tried more right arm extension on the backswing and it actually limits the hip turn and overswinging which is great.

Here is my latest video of my swing. I still have an overswing of the back swing, early release and flipping. I am trying to limit my backswing to make my lower body more quiet. My goal is to have the top of the back swing closer to 9:30 to 10 o'clock rather than 11 o'clock. Hopefully a shorter backswing will minimize early release and flipping. What do you think? Do I also have a chicken wing problem? Despite my swing problems. Just because I am practicing everyday in my house my scores has been consistently to the mid 80s with 81 the lowest score the last 2 months. I am about 6 to 8 strokes better than 6 months ago. My target is to stop the backswing right here.

I will try something like this.

My backswing is too long (left arm may be 11 o'clock position at the top) leading to too much movement in the lower body and possibly one of the causes of early release. I tried to reduce it around 9:30 or 10 o'clock position but some how I am not able to do it. My lower body is relatively quiet during the turn until I pass the 10 o'clock and then my left knee collapse. When I practice I thought I have shortened the swing to the 9 o'clock position at the top of the backswing but on video nothing has changed. I am thinking about buying or building a device that hits my arm if I overswing on the backswing. Is there something I can buy or copy and build? Thanks,

It's annoying to hear Dechambeau says that he doesn't get the Covid vaccine so others can. It's like we have a vaccine shortage or something.

Can you imagine someone close to winning the FedEx cup and $15 mil tested positive for Covid. I hope it won't happen.

Considering how many people he comes into contact with and how often he is flying, it is unfortunate but not a total surprise. You can catch Covid-19 again even with being vaccinated and previously infected. It just means that your infection is mild.

No, you hit 1 or 2 inches behind the ball and not suppose to make contact. Luis hit the ball first which is a mistake.

I have struggled with my golf swing for a long time with over the top problem resulting in big slices, pulls, and inconsistent contacts. My handicap ranges from 18 to 21 and I have broken 90 less than 5 times in my life with a total of 10 years of golf. I have tried many changes and took instructions but the changes never stick. Like many amateurs sometimes I thought I have discovered the magic fix only to be disappointed later. I hope this is not the case. In the last month, I have experimented with Stack and Tilt and I found out that it allows me to have better contact with the ball and minimize the over the top problem. In my last two rounds, I have shot 14, and 10 over. In the last few months I also have a golf simulator which allowed me to practice almost daily. I don't know if the two low scores are the results of stack and tilt or the simulator or both. I find that it is easier to pivot on the left foot for both the full swing, pitching and chipping. With the full swing, stack and tilt method somehow allows my right elbow to be closer to my body and I turn and swing the club from the inside much better. I was hitting the driver 240 to 270 in the last two rounds. Before I used to hit the driver 220 to 240. I will play again in 2 weeks, it will be interesting if I can break 90 again. Has anyone else had similar success with stack and tilt?

No, he can make the putt.

The rule is simple, if you're Covid-19 positive you can't continue to play. A few players have WD because of Covid-19 before Rahm but they didn't make the news because they were not in contention. So why are you expecting the PGA makes an exception simply because Rahm was leading? The PGA is not a not a medical organization and simply follows CDC guidelines. Why do you expect the PGA to make medical decisions. What if Rahm keeps playing and 1 person he infected die? I don't know why you are dismissing Covid-19 when 600,000 Americans have died and many thousands still dying daily in the world. I know, many of them were very sick but many healthy people died too.

I just use my phone but I am looking for a USB camera and plan to mount it permanently on the wall. I just checked out Live View Pro you have mentioned and it is a little more pricey than I had thought. I may buy one anyway to have instant feedback. I agree on practicing without feedback is just a waste.

I have early release problem. I thought I have shortened the back swing to only 2/3 to combat this but I was really surprised that on video it looks almost the same as the full swing. Is this usually what happens? I probably have to feel that I shorten the back swing even more. I have slowly learned that you have to really exaggerate any change significantly to have a little change.
