Daryl - I really appreciate you taking such a close look, for your time breaking it down like this!

Turned Should Plane. That's rare. Good for you.

Distance from the ball isn't your problem. Your pivot is non-existent. Compare your Impact alignments in Frame #4 to Frame #9 below.

Could not agree more I've got my work cut out for me to work on Zone 1. Especially during the downswing, release and follow through.

Are you pulling down with your hands from the Top?? Yes I think I am. Your standing Up at impact and Your Facing the Ball and your shoulders have caught up to your hips and your hands are about to pass your shoulders. No Pivot Lag. You have a great right arm and Hand acceleration. It's keeping you alive. If you can fix that pivot, then you can use the #4 accumulator and you'll drive the ball 300 yards. That 6 iron should be your 185 yard club. But with only 1.5 Accumulators, it's your 155 club.

Also, if you stop that Shoulder turn take-away, your hands and right elbow will get higher at the top so when your pivot gets fixed, your Pitched Elbow will pitched at release and not at your side as shown in frames 2,3 and 4 above.

For me I like the STT because I think it helps me to stress the shaft in the backswing but I understand your points.

Again I can't thank you enough for your close reading of my alignments (and lack of!). I'm going to focus on my pivot.
