The trajectory is generally lower. It appears to be more penetrating. When I feel that I execute the movements correctly I hit a nice little draw, otherwise it's a fade.
I'll get some more videos taken today. I am heading out to the course shortly, even though it looks like it might rain again. Could you explain more in regards to the "hips/head chase" please?
Could be, lol. It hasn't rained here for a while, just bad timing.
Thanks for explaining. I guess I am having difficulties updating my vocabulary to TGM.
Sure! By head chase . . . I mean your head is moving FORWARD and UP . . . You should get something that stick on your head like a door frame, wall, or a friend or something that holds a shaft on your head . . . . make some easy swings or pivot motions so you get the feeling of your hips going forward and turning without your head moving off the wall/reference pt. That should help you get the trajectory up. It's more of a hip moving forward and turning thing rather than your upperbody moving forward. That will cause you to hit it low and the path to work left quicker on the follow through. Have a look at the pics below . . . Palmer and Trevino low ball . . . Hogan is more the look I prefer anyway . . . but it's all in how you put the components together.
Note how your hips have not moved as much forward and continued to turn. Feel like you are really using the ground more. NOTE: Tiger ain't the one to look at here he's a achieved the look by his head move BACK NOT HIS HIPS GOING FORWARD.
Follow thru comparison . . . .
LOW BALLERZ . . . .Note the hips and knees and where the hips are in relationship to the the head . . . knees still "bent" (or Achored in TGM terms) hips back to in line with the head.

Note how much your head has come up reference the fence. Hips back and head coming up . . . feel like you are using the ground hips forward knees stretching out and feel like you are going to look UNDERNEATH the ball for you. This could be a risky thing to type out here but . . . Feel like you are clinching your buttcheeks together as you use the ground to push off and up . . .
Have a look at the amount of hip turn you have vs. Hogan at similar spots in the follow thru . . notice how much more stretch out Hogan's right Knee is vs. Palmer . . the hips pressing forward and continuing to turn stretch out the right leg . . . Palmer pretty much upper body hitter . . . OX LIKE STRENGTH . . . Hogan made this move on a busted up set of legs . . . Us the ground AS LONNNNNNNNNG AS YOU CAN.
HIGH BALLER . . .

I managed to get to the second hole today before the heavens opened up and continued to rain heavily for the next three hours. It was bad times. Anyway, I managed to get a couple of new swing videos recorded (see below). I can't take much from today, as trying to hold onto the club was like trying to hold onto a bar of soap. The misses tend to be thin or blocked fades/slices. I am also having trouble applying the changes to the full swing to the partial swings.
See the pics on your pivot vs. hogan . . . the more you can continue to press the ground and not have the range of motion in your hips stall . . . the more you can keep the face from turning over . . . . and it will keep your arms/clubhead path from moving left and allow you to hit down more. . . That will allow you to hit your startlines better and not hit the pulleeez. The face is pulling that ball left and the path being left of that face is putting the cut spin on it . . . which is fine but you're just gonna hit lowish fades. Keep the pressure on that pivot and the ground and the rotation of the face will slow down and your path won't work back up and in as fast . . . U do that part nice you just need to do it later via the pivot/hip motion.
Look how nice this is . . . . dude you got some skillz . . .
LOTS OF NICE THINGS GOING ON HERE . . .
LOOK AT YOUR EXIT . . . . niiiiiiiice . . . but Hogan's hips are still still going . . . compare your right knees and the right heel . . . your knee is gonna be more saggy and foot popped up because your butt and hips are back. Arms swing is nice though man. Beautiful stuff . . . use the ground some more longer.

I'll probably have some additional questions tomorrow (as I'll be indoors due to the persistent heavy rain) when I read the posts in more detail. However, I thought I would make a quick comment regarding setup alignments. It could just be the camera angles (in reference to the DTL view in
), but to me it appears that my feet are closed and my shoulders are open. Am I imagining things or should I get back to the basics and practice my setup alignments?

NOt say you can set up any ole way you want to . . . but I'd say set up is more of a preference in way or if you want to be systmatic about it there are certainly ways to alter your set up depending on the intended shot. . . . . That being said with regards to your set up . . . no glaring issues. IMO it's deeper hand path, center the head and keep it centered . . . get your pivot (hips) working more effectively.
You can take my flying wedges, but it will be from my cold dead hands

Bucket, what about the Arm Set of TGM? It was the first thing Yoda worked on with me. If Im not mistaken it's what Brian Gay credits his recent success to. Hogan did it.
The level left wrist, the on plane right arm. Its the first thing I check when things are off. Its often the thing that seems to set things right. Id rather quit the game than go back to low hands!

Sure . . . if he wants to do that . . . certainly a valid procedure. He had just mentioned alignment of feet and shoulders . . . heck you got dudes lining up all over the place winning majors. That dingdong dude that doesn't have any endorsements Ryan Moore aims 40 degrees left of his target and can draw it or cut it to it. In my opinion that is not where I'd start with this dude. He maintains his wedges nicely IMO. For him I like handpath and hip motion. But you could certainly adjust set up to preference or shot.

K, I do respect your analysis, honestly, always have, but I'd put money on Drew or Yoda getting that Left Wrist Level at Address. And achieved by adjusting the Right Arm Flying Wedge as opposed to the left hand or something. It isnt a popular address position I agree. But almost every good golfer gets there at Impact so why not start that way at Address? No change to your Swing Radius required. Plus there's some magic there, in my opinion.
Ive spent a few days with Lynn , not sure how many now, 10, 12? I dunno, anyways we worked on the Level Left Wrist day one........it took me most of the morning to get it right. After that we broke for lunch to celebrate it was that hard. But Lynn told me "that Level Left Wrist alone will see you accomplish your goals in golf". I was a bit taken aback by his statement to tell you the truth. But, he was right.
And so I feel compelled to share the story and the Level Left Wrist. Hogan's pistol shoot'n deal. Although some guys dont do it and might even have good reason. You have options, lots of them. But Im not going to change that one.
Are you referring to the uncocking of the wrists slightly at address? I experimented briefly with that, but I couldn't hit anything decently. Perhaps I was executing it incorrectly.
