Booyah! - no glove showing, release looks better, great work! Much better (less) space between the elbows on the follow through, good improvement.



BirdieXris said it, swing plane is the next step. Keep at it on the inside drills, you will be killing the ball before you know it. Very Happy

Awesome! Thanks for checking it out! Did you see my picture of the shaft...is that much flex normal? How do I work on more lower body turn? And what exactly does it mean?

Swing planes - downswing (green) is outside the backswing (red). This is what is referred to as "over the top". This move is more or less what puts the slice spin on the ball. You can see that your hands and the club are striking across the ball from outside to in.



It looks like your shoulders are open at address and your feet are along the target line. Since the arms and hands are directed by the shoulder line this leaves little choice as to where the arms and hands go. In your swing plane shot here, we can see that your swing plane (green) is similar to the open shoulders (green) line in the diagram.

You could try closing your shoulders a bit at address and see if swinging to the inside on the downswing is a bit easier. The three ball drill can't be done if your shoulders, hands, and arms are going out to in on the downswing.




Good question on the driver shaft. If possible I suggest to visit a golf store with an electronic driving bay, or a fitter who can measure your swing speed. Hard to tell if that's video glitch/blur or the actual shaft.

Thanks, that makes sense! I am excited about going golfing again tomorrow! This game is so addicting. I will close my shoulder at address. I got a kodak play sport HD camera for free when I bought my Diablo driver and it came in yesterday. I think it will shoot more frames per second so I can see more of the swing. I checked out a few of my videos with this driver and they all look to have that bend so I may look into a stiffer flex. Any recommendations on brands? I replaced a shaft in one of my woods with a Fujikura and it seems to be nice. Anyways thanks again for the help!
