Try some more carry with rotation. Feel like your coming over top. See what results you get.

This might help.
This might help.
The "run up" in my opinion is done by the knees.The hips get carried forward by the driving knees.The hips job is to rotate.Of course if you just slide your hips with little rotation,it will make your underplane issues worse.
I think you have plane issues that is the main cause.You are trying to swing too flat around your body through impact and beyond.A baseball swing is not appropriate because the ball is not waist high,it's sitting on the ground.It needs to be steeper than a baseball swing.The correct shape(particularly for you) should be more around(flatter) on the transition and steeper into impact and you are doing the opposite.
makes sense
Thanks for taking the time to help me on this. I do appreciate it.
Didn't have my camera today but hit some shots feeling like I was coming over it and hit it great. Could feel my hands/arms more in front of the ball and was getting really good extension through the ball.
Would more UP in the backswing help at all?

J, I think you do a lot well!! I think you over rotate your left forearm in the backswing, thus the last second hand save. I would try and get you feeling like the sweetspot of the club is facing the ball a lot longer in your backswing. You will still rotate your forearm, but not as early or as much. You can think of keeping your right forearm above your left (during the backswing) if you were looking FO into a mirror.

I watched episode eight yesterday. Weird.
The feeling of keeping the sweetspot facing the ball longer in your backswing is spot on. I've used this a lot in the past and keeping the clubhead outside of the hands and the right elbow above the left for longer in the backswing has certainly helped.

Your welcome. CMartin's post is the answer to your last question if you want to do that more up in the backswing change.

Prob a good idea for you to get rid of that late "lay off" at the top you have. But only if you're looking for a certain ballflight.

Thanks Kevin. It does make sense eh? Going to go back and look at my posture grip and everything else again. Bad habits creeping back in and lots of 'anti-hook'.
I'm sure there will be questions, but will start another thread when I get my thoughts in order!

Hit it better today at the range trying to feel the club face looking at the ball longer on the takeaway. There was definitely a lot less forearm rotation. Still struggling getting the right amount of axis tilt with the longer clubs. The driver face on really looks like my shoulder are too flat in the follow through. I think that is why it looks so weird. Thanks for everyone's help.
Tee it higher and a little more forward and add a touch more axis tilt at address with the driver. See what results you get.

I like it.
Tom Bartlett does it a lot more than Mike Finney from what I've seen.
back to the drawing board.......
I have tried sliding the knees in the transition/downswing and even added twistaway in the takeaway to get the face less open and still have the same follow through. Any more tips help is appreciated.
Brian if you have the time would really like to hear what you think

Try to hit a left to right shot, hold off the face rotation, make the toe of the clubhead go more upward in the follow thru, as opposed to around and inward. Keep the pivot going. See what happens.

I didn't make it to the end of this discussion to see if anyone thinks like I do...that EXTENSION in the ft is an EFFECT of Rotation Induced Throw Out *for Swingers and Right Triceps Power for the Hitter. Years later: We are almost all a combination of both...Switters...maybe Hingers (hard G).
I missed you guys.

Extension?
If you want the look of extension, the both arms extended kind, you need the left shoulder to keep rotating up and back to stay away from the left hand.
Got it?
The closer the left shoulder is to the left hand, the more bent the arm.
So, more "arm swing" with less left shoulder "jump," less extended look.
