Thanks for your interest Amen Corner.

In answer to your questions (i'm a swinger by the way):

- I have enough extensor action to feel a slight stretch in my left arm. I apply it through pp #1.
- I'm right handed and play right handed
- I've done a lot of work on my grip and i pretty sure it's good although i've never had that verified by an AI. When gripping with my right i just focus on PP #3 and PP #1 being inline straight down the right side of the shaft towards the sweet spot.
- I concentrate on pp #3 going back, then #2 and #3 going down.

With regards to whats moving what in my basic motion, i drag it back with the right arm and then pull it down with my left.

To give you a bit more info as to where i feel the problem may lie. When playing (i.e not basic motion) i feel like my downswing is initiated by my feet, whether it be a drive, pitch, chip or putt. But when doing basic i feel because theres no pivot, the radius is shortened to my left shoulder. This makes the change of direction feel quick, sharp, tense (all things i associate with playing badly) instead of the lazy and effortless feeling i get when playing well. I also feel like my balance is disrupted slightly.

Thanks for the help,

Danny
