But you got some issues with the way your hips work. Look at your head motion and you can kinda get a feel for it. Your head drop down ala Hogan and Tiger but you never get your hips forward and open and up like Eldrick and Hogan. See pic below. That deal with your right arm staying bent to me looks like a radius issue. Since your head has dropped you cant really stretch it out or you'll crash the ground behind the ball. Look at how far back your butt is compared to Hogan. your head ends up infront of your hips. So you got like reverse tilt. I'd like to see you a. load #2 (left wrist cock faster on the backstroke. b. get some standard knee action (see pics) c. Get the hips forward, open and up . . . . that will keep the face from flashing so much. Note how Snead's hands are more "crossed over" than Hogan and how much more forward and open Hogan is with his hips. You could try hitting some shots where you feel like you are looking underneath the ball through the shot. So your head stays back and your hips go forward and turn. Not how your right knee is so bent. That indicates that you are sliding the hips forward as the turn . . . . you're just turning. Note Snead's right knee compared to hogan . . . more bent . . . but he does have axis tilt more than you. You could put your head on a door frame and practice this. Also you could kinda stick a ball on a tee close to your right ankle . . . look at your foot work. It's like you are putting out a cigarette or squashing a roach. You kneed to feel like your right ankle is going to lay down on the ground via your hips going forward and streching out your right leg. Look at hogans foot work compared to your. . . that right leg tells a story of no forward and turning only. Note how hogan's right heel is LEADING . . . yours is popping up . . . due to how your lower half is working. All that being said . . . your club moves nice dtl. Arms work nice. Work on the pivot and you'll be nasty good. Should get that face to move more uniform and slow it down. Less variation in where your ball starts. Do you hit cuts when you miss it? __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand Last edited by 12 piece bucket : 03-06-2010 at 11:34 AM. 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
