Well first off to all thanks.
ANd yes I am a6 and should be lower if had better shortgame.
I avg between 9-10 fairways with driver and 9-10 GIR and 255-260 carry off the tee.

I played 14 holes yesterday as a course has finally opened up. and got that many in before dark. Shot 1 over with a water ball and a 3 put bogey. Was hitting the ball quite crisp.

Worked on 3 things. I felt I was standing a bit far from the ball and so was starting the club away using my arms and going outside. Well I got my arms hanging more naturally down and let my self use a more body controlled pivot going back.
Secondly In doing so, I made sure my arms were soft since my hands were no longer taking the club back. Yes I did give a wee bit of extensor feel but with my softer arms I was able to feel them rotate more going back. I think my crossing the line issues were based on inadequately turning my forearms to the plane.
Finally the added benefit of this was that by making a slower more deliberate backswing with the pivot, I felt there was less wobble at the top. Usually I would sling the club up to the top and the momentum would cause some "wobble" or breakdown.
Now I can't validate what I am saying with video yet but I el different. ANd I was able to better feel my top of s wing position with driver and was finishing in better balance too.
