That is more of a squaring of the hips and a forward press...mirror work a couple of weeks ago indicated I had open hips at address so this is a recent addition in an attempt to square the hips and establish some spine angle. No problem, I like that idea.

If anything I have a tendency to set up with the face closed rather than open I'd guess not on this one- but closed to what? i.e. How do you know that you tend to set the face closed and closed to what?,

although I do sometimes roll it open excessively early in the backswingI have never worked on a delayed or snap release, I have a random release which tends closer to sweep than snap, I have dealt with that. What does "dealt with that mean?"

I have in the past had a very bad flip and dip and IO think some of the body movement may tie back to that. It is definately something I am aware of.Nice tie in...never clicked to that!!

Do you think the weight on the toes and the coming out of posture ties into being too far from the ball at address and therefore having the weight too forward No

Bit confused what you mean here...there may be a bit of OTT maybe linked in with the laid off position at the topI know I have to hit down and out through the ball...it is my key thought when things start to go bad...knowing it and doing it may be different things though! Now, you've brought up an important point- The clubshaft and clubhead move on plane- and the clubhead therefore is moving down, out and forward. That does not mean that you necessarily "try" to move it down, out and forward. That does not mean that you necessarily "feel" it move down, out and forward. You see -what's happening in a movement from a third party perspective i.e. looking through the camera at a golf swing and what you are trying to do - are two completely different things. Without discussing in more detail - you have over done the down, out and forward- you need more down.

My comments above.
