Arm role in downswing

@danny No worries. Keep doing what you're doing, and bear in mind two things: 1) You can play well using the 2.8 swing on the course (assuming you're ever able to see the grass again up there...😂), and 2) because you're taking your arms in deep, what looks like a 3/4 backswing may actually be a full backswing (even though it's not parallel), so know your body's natural stopping point because anything beyond that spells problems!

@Tom Saguto I'm trying to focus on 2 things for the back swing, and that is; 1) getting my tailbone to go forward and 2) get my should down. What I have noticed on the downswing (with might actually be my full backswing) is that when I get the hips to go forward to begin the down swing, it feels as though things go into slow motion. The hips go forward and then everything else kind follows through on their own. This a is a really weird feeing but a very pleasant feeling. I can actually feel the crunch on the right side working, my feet stay in place much longer and I can see the club sweep from in to out in front of the ball position. I believe this is the feeling of an effortless swing.

I'm planning (...have been planning) to stick with this drill on trying to get the hip slide dialed in and then I get all reckless trying to crush the ball into next week and the the wheels come off. I need to practice restraint, patience and focus more.

On a positive note, I'm starting to see a much better backswing plane that follows the club line from setup. So, there is that!

Thanks again Tom!

@danny Actually, your entire post looks like a "positive note" to me! That's exactly what we're aiming for you to feel. "Give up control to gain control!"

You're getting there, my friend!!

Good point! I wasn’t doing anything with arms and ball was still going pretty far I’ll have to hammer down too
