I have watched all videos of all courses. You get sometimes (for me) better explanations to the same points. So I did unterstand 2.8 not before I have seen the video in KFC concerning the flying wedge.
My adress was wrong till I have seen the grid-videos.
So each video gave me new or further informations.
I guess that most of us tried to do a full swing without having learned the extending of spine in KFC. I allways thought, I should learn this at the end. so I struggeld a (to long time) to get my hips forward and the shaft deeper.
Now I know that I should have learned this earlier. To reach the extention with all weight on the left foot (right handed), will cause the hips moving automaticly and your hands will be straight.
That is my experience, but dont misunderstand me, you have to learn all the exercises which takes a lot of time an there are still enough points I have to do.
Thanks for the response. I will start again this time slowly and one video a day. And see if that helps. I am definitely going to do v1 app once, i get through the videos. I am fully committed!
@Aakash Shah - @James Flood is absolutely correct with regard to pacing yourself and proceeding slowly at the beginning. The chapters, lessons, and drills that comprise the Golf Swing Simplified course curriculum are not randomly ordered; they are designed to be taken sequentially from the beginning. Regardless of a member's skill level, this swing necessitates a complete reboot for someone transitioning from a shift & lift swing (which is typically the case), and therefore it is imperative that one take sufficient time to ensure that the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters are mastered. From the ground up there is nothing superfluous in the Stack & Tilt swing - in other words, everything with a purpose, and a purpose for everything. I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built.
Beyond that, one of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will refer students back to Chapter 2 of the Golf Swing Simplified course when they experience a hiccup or perceived setback. That chapter reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time" (the "Drill 2.8 that James mentioned). Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then park yourself on that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use this partially abbreviated swing on the course and play quite well with it as it will provide plenty of distance. (It actually is the full swing minus just a couple of power accumulators.) Once you've got that down you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing!
Finally, you may wish to give some thought to the V1 Swing Video Analysis - an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. This enables me to put my eyes on your swing and offer some very specific observations and corrective action plans if applicable. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site.
I'm relatively new here (about a month) and have barely ventured beyond the early lessons, especially drill 2.8. I'd suggest spending a week or two focusing on those lessons and then submit a swing through the V1 app for @Tom Saguto 's analysis. In the meantime, try to film your swing as much as possible to ensure that you're doing things properly. There is a learning curve. You can post photos and swings here and fellow members will be happy to help.
This is a total guess (would need more info) but if you're hitting things right you're probably not keeping your weight forward. Perhaps spend more time with the 90% drill for a bit. More learned members here might have better suggestions. Good luck!
@James Flood I finish simplified golf series videos. Starting to work on drills, since contact is better but direction is horrid. Just not sure where to go from here.
Perhaps I have a different kind of learning.

@Aakash Shah welcome. If you're a recent member, are you following the structured lesson path? If so, how far have you gotten.
