+Nick W Interesting story. I hadn't heard it before, but it does make some sense to me. But as you said, probably not the overall healthiest way to get 10 more yards ;)

+Ed C I think your question helps illuminate the answer some. I don't know that we have a clear answer. Golf has always been tricky that way. Many different body types meet the requirements. It's not like football where you won't see a tiny lineman …

+Sam K Too much side bend/extension. Not enough abs/core in the early downswing. You could look at the "beat the drum" drill. https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/beat-the-drum/

+Ham S Set up a little station and hit about 20 balls with it and see what you figure out :)
Good luck and keep us posted.

+Ham S Keep investigating things like the Moe Norman drill. I would definitely use some type of visual like the pool noodle in right path with a pool noodle. Or something like the wall drill. https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/pool-noodle…

+Sam K Hi Sam,
It looks to me like it's more of the open club face and path going left late (giving more of the thin glancing blow). Looking at the face on, it looks like you have good shaft lean, but your upper body is well behind the left hip. Tr…

+Ned G I wound investigate why the swing breaks down when you swing bigger. Does the path/face change? or does the low point/center of your swing change?
Based on that answer, I'd train either longer and slower swings gradually adding length. Or s…

+Olle E unhinge is looking better. So keep working on that. If you start having more contact issues, then you will be able to start moving on to working on chest rotation or the wipe (trail elbow more in front).
This unhinge piece will help you un…

+Ed C yes, the divot location is pretty indicative of handicap level :)

+rgailun1113 The timing of when your arms goes flat is quite late. It's part of how you load your trail shoulder elevation move in transition. I think you'd struggle more if you get your arms more vertical at the top of the swing without addressing …

+Olle E I tell my students to describe themselves as working on a movement, instead of doing a movement. It's a subtle shift, but it can help if you feel like you're doing something but here are two images that show you haven't quite mastered the un…

+Ham S Given that info, and the left arm wanting to pull, I would probably do the left arm only 9 to 3. It might be a real game changer for understanding how the left arm works during the release. That might help you change how you load and unload i…

+rgailun1113 Good looking move, let me know what you think of the analysis!
