Archie's Pivot

Archie will write more later but your lower body movement during pivot allows for swaying which has basically moved your swing center off the ball.....

Not bad, pretty solid balance - a couple things that I think you may want to look at. First, I can't tell from this angle, but you look like you are out of your spine angle. The motion back and through is good, but standing up out of your spine angle makes things more complicated than they need to be. You might experiment with a touch more 'left shoulder 'under' the chin'/hit with back of left shoulder feel - that will keep you in your spine angle a bit better. Imagine you were going to break a door down with your left shoulder, to the inside back corner of the ball.

Second, your grip looks off a touch - wrists are very stiff, especially at the top - not a huge issue if everything else is on track, but it is a power loss - you won't be able to load as much, or keep as much, lag pressure on the downswing. May just be a grip pressure issue, hard to tell from this clip. Right wrist bends straight back, left cocks 'up the plane' - see the EdZ drills for a good demonstration of this feel.
 
EdZ,

Does 'out of your spine angle' mean I reversed back toward the target at the top? Or do you just mean I raised up? Pause my backswing sequence before I get to parallel when my left arm is still straight--should that be the top of MY swing?

P.S. What is the site for Edz Drills?

Sorry Arch, it wouldn't open (I'm on a Mac) and I don't want to download the player right now. Quicktime is cross compatible and the best player, IMO. So I recommend that in the future.

Yeah, people have told me they can't view it with a MAC. BTW, when you get your equipment, don't get a Sony Handman DVD Camcorder- the shutter speed sucks. That's what I have. You can't see very detailed frame-by-frame anyway.- waste of $1K.
