Go see Amen Corner , I bet he'll greatly simplify your movement, your motion. I'd try the Wild Bill Melhourne thing of swinging in two directions continually, while marching McDonald style ......no balls at first. Put one on tape and see how great it looks when you just look at the normal golf swing portion of the continuous motion. Here's Lynn hitting a mid iron ....he makes it look pretty simple doesnt he? Length of swing and effort do not necessarily translate into distance. Try hitting some half seven irons and see if they go just as far....or farther. Put them on tape and see if your body motion is still bigger than Lynn's. It probably will be. Homer said to swing slower and shorter until you start to lose distance and then go back a notch. Good advice for all of us. When you're learning golf there is tendency to make it all about turning, Homer observed how the body provides only the initial acceleration in the Downswing before passing the momentum out the arms which pass it to the club. There is a sequence to it. See 6-M-1. Feet, knees, hip, shoulders, arms, club, ball. This sequence creates the look of simplicity and balance that you see in a good golfers swing. Effortless power.
