Ppl tell me I think too much...well....that makes me THINK that they should go to....(insert word).
I'm pretty sure I can figure that one out. I agree totally. Well, I have some more footage up after trying to heed Yoda's and Mike O's advice. Tell me what you think. http://www.geocities.com/robmont64/swing3.html

tgmnut,
You may be able to feel the difference -- and that's a first step -- but I cannot see any differences yet. Your Start Up looks exactly the same, and so does your Shift to the Squared Shoulder Plane. On closer inspection, you do seem to have decreased the Bob somewhat.
This time 'round, I would also add the following to your Work In Process Checklist:
1. Left Foot Action. In the Down-the-Line view, check the excess Roll to the outer edge of the Left Foot. Note also the weight toward the toes that has your heel 'tapping' and your Balance teetering. The 'turn' on the heel is not so disruptive, but do you really want all that with a mid-iron?
2. Exaggerated Finish. Again, you are a playing a mid-iron here. This is the super-full Finish one would normally see only with the longest Clubs. The 'wraparound' of your Arms has caused your Hands to separate at the Finish -- the heel of your Right Hand has lost contact with the thumb of the Left Hand. Keep that Pressure Point intact throughout the Stroke, and cut that Finish back.
3. Finish Swivel. You have one, but it is extremely delayed. Your Hands are shoulder-high into the Finish before you finally Swivel. Hitting or Swinging, the Swivel should occur as you exit the Follow-Through (with your Right Forearm about parallel to the ground). You exit the Follow-Through with a non-Swiveled Left Forearm and hence, a Bent Left Wrist. So, Swivel sooner.
Are changes that are being suggested ones that can be introduced into a swing and take effect immediately...I would imagine that these are significant enough where it will take hard work and months to work into an effective swing with setbacks at times when one may want to abandon a change.
TGMNUT,
Lynn makes some very good points in both of his posts #25 and #38. Also, Nice job of retaining your spine angle more and also holding your finish position- in that regard I think Lynn's #2 item in post #38 is an especially excellent point and possibly one of the easier changes that you could add to your already changed finish position. But as HG suggests you've got plenty of information to work with- probably time to hybernate the winter away and see how much progress you've made when you wake up in the spring.
In regards to how I am able to post from Bucket's trunk- well it's called WIRELESS- This guy practically lives at Starbucks- I'm rarely outside of a T-Mobile Hotspot! Whoa- he's headed home now - going to lose you - gotta go!

You learn to control your Plane Line (12-5-1-#3), your Feet (Balance / 12-5-1-#5), your Right Forearm Tracing (12-5-1-#16) and Hinge Action (12-5-1-#20) in Basic Motion -- two feet back and two feet through.
You extend that understanding into Body Participation, Hand Action Accumulators and On Plane Clubshaft in Acquired Motion (Right Forearm level-to-the-ground in both directions).
You learn to control your Finish Swivel in Total Motion (12-5-3-#3).
Your Finish is dictated by the constraint of the Staged Curriculum, i.e., to Both Arms Straight (Stages One and Two) and to a controlled Finish as dictated by the desired limits of the Pivot and the Arms (Stage Three).
The message:
You don't learn a disciplined Golf Stroke by whacking as many Balls as you can...as far as you can...with every Club in your bag. You learn it piece by piece...one Stage at a time.
Okay y'all,
I've done some more work and now I think I have a slightly better motion with my irons, but I can't seem to hit driver now to save my life. I worked on swinging a little easier to preserve my balance and shorten the follow through and exaggerated finish, and I worked on making the swivel happen earlier. It's a work in progress obviously, but I think I made a little progress. I hope to have the videos up either tonight or tomorrow night. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

My experience is that with the driver the illusion is that you have to hit even further out to the right field.
Make your practiceswing over the ball, trace the planeline with #3 pp, watch the clubheadpath and notice how far out to right it's actually going.
Your hard work will eventually pay off.....
I agree totally. Well, I have some more footage up after trying to heed Yoda's and Mike O's advice. Tell me what you think.
