Tried to close the stance and let the left butt wipe the wall more. The stance could be still more closed I think. Overall still looks restricted and collapsed, have to feel the diffrences more once I get time.

Thanks in advance!

looks like you are casting the club at the ball. Cut grass says Shawn Clement.

Thanks, great stuff. That early extension is serious problem for me, not sure what excactly is causing it but it puts me into this really ugly crouched position both in golf and discgolf. That drill didn't click for me too well, have to give it another shot later. I tried to fix this today by focusing on activating my core and thinking about keeping that angle and pressure from legs to shoulders connected.

This is really important topic as I think it really doesn't matter what lower body does if you extend early; the pressure from ground will spill out.



The turn looks better maybe:

Impact position isn't too pretty from either side:

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: How do you attach images to post btw?

Try hitting 2 balls on same swing, one in front of other a few inches. Chase the ball with your trail shoulder pointed down the line. Your trail shoulder stops square.

Here's what I do to imbed pictures:

1. In the Go Advanced view click on the paper clip to upload the file/picture by using Browse and Upload.

2. There will be a link under the Current Attachments. Click on the link to open the picture in a new window.

3. Copy the URL address and then go back and click on the Image icon and paste the URL there.

4. Check to see it is showing using the Preview Post.

Or just right click image -> copy image address

The lines are still crossing and the throw felt bit mechanical. I don't know how to get the forces of my body momentum directed in a way that my arm would follow that same line. ��

Thanks in advance!

Need to stop tipping/tilting your upper body over toward left teepad side in the backswing, and stay more balanced upright on rear foot/leg until you make it over your rear leg and then you can start transitioning into more athletic tilt. Move over your rear leg maintaining butt wipe pressure against the wall, and fall into plant after you make it up over rear hip and swing/kick front foot. Should be able to do this at decent speed, just making that move/hop over the rear leg back and forth without swinging anything. You should feel more leverage on your rear leg maintaining butt pressure - almost like striding toward right teepad side.

You should feel a quicker deweighting/pivot of your rear foot as your front foot lands more suddenly being kicked/swung, and the rear foot should follow your mass to the right behind front foot so you should finish/end up in stagger stance being pulled off rear foot, rather than starting/planting in stagger stance and trying to push your mass from rear foot to the left around your front leg.

I’ve read and re-read more of your posts than i can count. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard it described like this. Stagger stance is a byproduct of a proper leg swing, rather than planting INTO a stagger.
