wow, that means I would have hit about 110 shots by the time I get to the driver ==> tired.

Kevin,
Your action looks great. Those were pretty tight, sandy lies. Were you puring it?

Is the plane line the tangent to the arc of the True Path at its low point? Or impact?
Is True Path an arc? If so, when you quote a Trackman True Path number, would that be at impact relative to the ball-target line?
Are the measurements of the True Path and Plane Line always relative to the ball-target line? Does Trackman use a fancier term for ball-target line?

These are great pertinent questions that need VIDEO ANSWERS. Which I will do today or early tomorrow, so....leave this post sit, and I will do it justice.
Trackman is SCARY...
The more I see of this trackman stuff, the more I think that a tour pro could become absolutely deadly with it.
Imagine a tour pro using trackman comes up with data tables for their ideal setups for different shot shapes, yardages, corrections for slopes, and clubs. They then train the caddie to be able to interpolate figures and give them setup conditions for the shot they want to execute. The files are saved and validated / updated every few months. The goal in practice is to validate the tables and work on perfecting the execution sequence for each shot. Come game time, setup and execute. No doubt in the setup. The guesswork is gone.
Scientific setup methodology. Could be the next big thing.
Like Hogan said, he never played a shot in a tournament he hadn't practiced. Technology could usher in a completely new understanding of Hogan's wisdom.
Now I see why we can call it "stroke engineering".

Thanks.......but
I appreciate the nice words about my swing. I feel as good about it as i have in a long time, maybe ever. Brian has literally saved me from quitting this game and has given me a whole new level of enjoyment through knowledge and wisdom. However, if you look down the line, you'll see the main issue ive had for years. My clubface is still pretty open for a good player. One of the best lessons ive had with Brian was the "dribble the ball" "palm away" so the face wouldnt get too open. Looks like I still have some work to do. We had a great session down there.
Tough game

No doubt. Thats what Brian identified last year. I just go to sleep mentally and forget it because its not natural. The difference is now i know it and can think "dribble the ball" and focus on it.
How bout that camera!

Kevin -- great swing! Re: your open clubface, heck, I'd love to look like that at the top. No matter what I do or think, my club is too shut at the top...which makes me hesitant to really release it at the bottom. Doesn't your position at the top enable you to aggressively release the club through impact? Thanks...pm
Wow. I may have to go for that.
How about adding a touch of twist away???
I have a Casio - it is the best (except indoors)!!!

That's what the "dribble the ball" analogy is for.

Great looking swing, your takeaway is exactly what I need to do.
