rainy days

Haven't had a chance to get to the range yet to get some video. Will do as soon as the sun decides to show.

my "hunch" is that extension post impact has a big correlation to how much force across the shaft you create.

try it out with short iron and an easy shot. dont use any FAS and see how fast you re-hinge and then re-test using a bunch of right arm.

To clarify Jim,

The more force across the shaft the sooner the rehinge and the less force across the shaft the later the rehinge?

I find that I re hinge fairly quickly after impact because I am trying to use the wedding ring up swivel. Having the left elbow pointing down past impact helps me execute the swivel correctly. That seems to result in less extension post impact than when I was working on the soft draw pattern and the toss. Doesn't the amount of extension that results have something to do with what pattern you are working on?
 
Chicken wing post impact isn't always bad - or rather, it may look like a chicken wing but it could be something else. For example, if your bent left arm post impact is caused by your right arm straightening post-impact and also your pivot rotating hard left, then it can look like a chicken wing, but it's not a bad thing.
 
force across shaft

whats the best way to do this? Keep pressure on the on the index (trigger) finger of the right hand?
 
worse than I thought (entire swing)

haven't seen video in a while. Just had my first child (not me the wife) and really haven't been able to play or practise for a while. What do you guys recommend? Follow through looks weird to me.

You look like Joe Tour Pro at the top and then..........
I'm wondering where that shot went.

I think you might be able to hang in there with that left side staying in your turn while you slide your hips forward a touch. I think you may yank that lead shoulder a little and the right hand catches up hard making the follow through a little weird as you say.

What a backswing pivot!!
 
that shot went straight

hit it really well today anyways, just seems to go a little left or right.

So I should just bump the hips a little more to start the downswing?

Interesting. Seems like with that type of impact, all things being equal, it should go left. Your face probably feels open to you somewhere (or preparing for it) so you dont tilt properly into impact and follow through.
 
Kevin,

Do you think the finish is a result from being under plane?
Not the best angle to see if it is underplane so it's my best guess without seeing the down the line view.
Maybe he is hanging back to give the club time to catch up?
Jrose looks a little bunched up coming into delivery.
Just a thought.

Not Kevin but my opinion is that you have a nice pull back and jump but what happened to your run up?

Not enough transfer of weight to the left and hanging back through impact.You might get away with the driver but you will hit irons fat doing that.You need more pelvic thrust(hump the target) to stop the left heel spinning back.

Fats an thins stem from the same issues.The thing that saves you is good trigger delay.If you released it early and not enough run up,you will hit it 4 inches fat.

You really want the CoG of the hips in front of the ball at impact.If not,at least level with the ball.Your hips are too far behind the ball at impact,particularly the right hip which appears to stall.

I know the theory about pivot braking to snap the kinetic chain but you have braked too early.
