gmb,
I do feel the lesson from Kelvin identifies some incorrect aspects to your swing, but do you feel you now have any drills or feels to help you accomplish the suggested positions? It is one thing to know what you are doing wrong, and another to get there. Do you feel you got that from this lesson?
Interested in your thoughts....

It is one thing to know what you are doing wrong, and another to get there. Do you feel you got that from this lesson? Interested in your thoughts.... Given my knowledge of the swing and watching a gazillion videos I could see many of the faults. Now tying them to knee, hip, spine movements, totally new to me. I thought the video was more a synopsis rather than specific instruction. I got some ideas but I think its more starting point. Would need more follow up to move forward.

So I had a goal tonight at the range. Last night looking at some videos I realized that my setup posture was really aiding in my lifting in the backswing and the hands position. I think you can see from the DTL I don't lift really. I was not really working on anything else other than a good posure for the first part, at least not related to Kelvin's video. I figured I needed to make it as easy as possible to get this backswing fixed. I think this is a pretty drastic change. Hands much higher and less lifting all a result of setup The second thing I was working on was a feeling that I was pointing my left wrist into impact, sounds weird so I demonstrated it for ya. Impact photo...flip ;D I really was just compressing the ball, not sure why, just was.

To my uneducated eyes the main difference seems to be in the thoracic? w Attachments:

walther, That pic from comparison is a bit tough as it was a while ago and it was a bit of a SnT pattern. It had gotten progressively worse at setup. Here was two days ago. Attachments:

Backswing is getting closer, under rotated though and not sure why. Obviously some issues after impact and not extending.

Worked with a buddy of mine Andy Patnou and his friend Aaron Olson up at TPC today. Was very educational though what we worked on seemed very simple. Going a bit like Richie for a while, no videos to the swing gets to a point I think I have things down. A good start! (after and before on right)

Starting to figure out that if my pivot is not right it does not matter how good I am at say P6 or P7 because the structure starts falling apart and at that point I am just working to make contact rather then a compressing type impact.

You should let B.M. know this, and maybe they will quit talking about the club and upper body all the time , all this talk about how to solve the "tugging problem" geeez maybe if the pivot is working properly and you use the ground you don't have to yank on the stick...duh! They don't get it, they are trying to solve a problem with the thing that is causing the problem, good luck with that. Can't wait till they report that the swing is indeed from the ground up and all the "old farts" knew this including Mike Austin who knew more about the biomechanics of the swing then all those "experts over there put together... what a joke! They have Steve T. who keeps telling them but they don't listen, glad you are finding out Greg what's really important and what's just " show biz".

More work today with my buddy Andy. Starting to understand what this quote means. Very subtle changes on the before and after. and yes this one on the left was a shank on the before, I came in high at P6 and could not uncock fast enough. Can anyone see the small difference in the after?

So a really cool thing happened today. With my right forearm coming into delivery on plane I can actually feel PP #3 against the club shaft, driving through impact. Much more powerful than just uncocking downward early to get the club to the ball. I know that may sound funny but I never really got the whole #3 PP thing despite my effort.
Also I can feel natural supination of my left arm.

I will take a stab at it. Looks like your left arm is more vertical at p5 (always scared to use those abbreviations) and the right wrist looks doesn't looked so cockeyed, so the face of the club seems to be in better position. The arms look more inline or lined up at impact also. Looks good, don't know what it all means but I am interested in hearing more so I am bumping this.

I would title this movie -- "GMB - Escape from the underplane"
