Paul,

Welcome to LBG. You are far too hard on yourself, you have a very nice motion!

I think you have also done a good job of picking out a piece that needs a little work. Do you have the book, The Golfing Machine?

You need to work a little Hula-Hula. Your hips bump at the very start of the downstroke, while EVERYTHING above your hips stays back. Currently, your head and shoulders are starting forward first. You don't have to swing like Ben Hogan, but he does a wonderful tutorial on this principle.

That would be a good place to start.

Kevin

Kevin,

Thanks for the insight. I can envision that movement, but it will be awhile before I can "program" and implement it. I will make tons of mirror swings trying to get comfortable with that motion. The link you provided is extremely helpful, Hogan makes it look so easy. I'm also going to be on the lookout for a copy of The Golfing Machine, as I think it would be great learning tool. I've noticed you guys often link the section of TGM relevant to the discussion in threads, so it would indeed be nice to have a copy. Thanks again,

- Paul
