if that's the case i guess i should lay off golf for a while, and work out more! I'll keep working on it, not a quitter. I feel confident that it will come to me. Ok i tried to let the hands to be more passive at the top....and i think it worked better.

You need both... workout and play lots of golf. Not to say it won't come in time anyways but slower than if you started to work on your physical abilities now. There is plenty to be done to your technique too that has nothing to do with your physical limitations. It is really important if you want to be good to also find people to play with that are better than you. Also don't neglect your short game.
 
ok so

I've tried everything that I can.

1. bring it more inside.
2. don't lift my arm up
3. higher right elbow then left during take away. (less pop out)

not sure if it's my grip / that i have a cupped left wrist at the top. Not sure about anything anymore. Every ..came out the same "FAT"
I think this might be one of the most painful day. You try very hard dawn to dusk put efforts and thought in it, but nothing came out good. My right shoulder and right elbow are in pain not to mention my thumb is falling off my hand lol. good god, i gotta admit that I suck. But this will not be the end. I'll be back. I'm happy for Pecky tho, he's got it down.

If hitting it fat is your main problem, you could just be swinging too far right.

you know what i notice when i step my right foot up i would hit solid shots.
(fade setup)

but if i swing left the ball would just end up left (pull) :confused:

gonna watch nha now again.

I just tried to hit couple of balls in my yard and divot was much more cleaner and infront. Maybe i'm swinging too much to the right. All i did was letting the club go and swinging to the left without the club head catching up to my buckle. not sure if it's a good combination but..SD backswing plus the NHA downswing?? that feels good for me.

OK..EVERYTHING'S FIXED NOW. THANKS FOR EVERYBODY'S HELP.
I'M BACK ON TRACK.

I was watching BM's "THE MOVIE" last night and I felt asleep while watching it for the 4th time. Somehow Manzella was in my dream teaching me how to make a swing. He told me to take the club away with my right forearm instead of my left forearm and then let the club drop. Use my pivot to hit the ball. So i went to the range today, BAM. I realized the reason why I was popping out is because I have always been taught to take the club away with my left forearm. The clubhead is never infront of me which causes me to severly swinging from the inside I believe and thus always fat. the SD was definitely..not for me because it encourages me to swing even more from the inside. I have never hit 180 with my 6 irons before...i guess this is a good sign. thanks BM. and god bless you.
 
Hello guys, this will be my last post in this thread.

I have finally fixed my swing with the last missing piece.

I hold the club as much as i can on my downswing with the right forearm take away backswing. I couldn't do it before because my thumb was in the wrong place. Now that BM told me to stretch my thumb out I could pull down that shaft without throwing away the club. It was simple and I have probably never hit balls so dead straight and so far before. I hit all my irons and wood, the sound that my 3 wood makes is just amazing. It tingles me every time I hear it. I feel confident again and will post a video when i get a chance. Pecky's club head lagging helped me alot to understand why i didn't have that lag and why i hit it fat. I was throwing my club away (as you can see in any of my videos) because my left thumb could not hold that lag and i was swinging too much inside with shoulder take away. I don't have arched wrist at the top anymore and instead I have a soft cupped left wrist at the top.

You guys and BM fixed my swing.

thank you guys. :D

You're in a great position in that you've found something that works. Stick with it, refine it. No rabbit ears, like a lot of players.

Congrats, and keep it moving.
 
Can you please explain?

On the top of his swing you can see the club being dragged and slightly lower than his backswing like a small drop (with more wristcock). On my backsiwng u see the the club in the same position while i'm swinging the club. I coulndt load the club i could not fiddle it couldn't drag it to where my impact position is.
