starting-over

Thank you @Valtiel! I am going to try to sneak out to the range this week and get some proper dtl and face on videos with this kind of pattern. @joedizzy1978 I went down the Mike Maves rabbit hole at one point and I remember he is a proponent of looking down enough such that you "could read a newspaper" if you were holding it, rather than what I do by default which you noted. The idea makes a lot of sense to me so I will experiment with tilting my head down.

After a long hiatus, I wanted to share a swing update. After ignoring my lower body for most of my golf life (or giving it a half-assed effort) I think I've finally come to the conclusion that maybe I do need to learn how to keep my butt against the wall. The attached swing is what happens when I put my focus on sitting/squatting a little in transition, which seems to accomplish that. Currently I need my upper body and accompanying extremities to mostly go along for the ride so that I can make this happen. For example if I try to do anything active with my hands, it goes to s***. My only active thought above the waste is to drive my trail hand down into the ball while keeping my right wrist extended, hence the stiff/straight arms after impact. I know feel isn't real, but it certainly feels a lot less flippy and a lot more pivot driven. Anyone notice anything good, bad, grotesque? The 2 things my untrained eye notices in slow-mo is that it does look like my hip rotation is stalling at P6 and my arms are sort of launch off my chest at that point. Maybe this new pattern isn't so great after all, but if any of the experts here are willing to give my motion another look, I would be very interested receive any feedback. Excuse the shirtless-ness. Was about to go mow the lawn in 90 degree muggy heat. 7.27.25 swing.mov
