Nice. Is there a slightly slower speed that would have a bigger file size and be less grainy? Those Casio's are amazing.

The first video is actually Acquired Motion. See 12-5-0 for a detailed list of components for Basic , Acquired, Total. Together they comprise the Basic Motion Curriculum, a great way to learn the proper motion and geometry. And a great way to warm up , practice.

The left arm swing: That is hard to do! Getting to Top with just the left arm reveals one main reason for Homer's strong preference for a Right Forearm Takeaway. The right arm gets it done so much easier, with far less effort. Try it right armed only and see what you get.

I am guessing that you are a swinger and averse to that somewhat but at the very least try it to see how much easier it is to take the club to top with just the right arm. When Im working on my left arm flail, left wrist throw, with just my left arm, I take it back with two hands on the grip, RFT, then drop the right arm off the club at Top. Then swing down with the left side. Its a little weird but I dont want to ingrain any aspect of a left sided takeaway procedure. None, zero. Left arm only Startup tends towards an Angled Hinge takeaway and needs the support of a shoulder turn takeaway I find. A geometrically challenged procedure as the shoulder turn will tend to take the hands under plane going back as well.

The other advantage of the RFT is that the #3 pressure point is now directing, pointing, tracing the Plane Line. Something you cant do when the Right Hand is off the club.

I like your lag and flail from what I can see. Is that a Left Wrist Throw? I love em. You have a touch of left wrist bending, Steering post low point. Try a little bit more left hand Rolling to flatten it out. Horizontal Hinging, with the Left Hand staying perpendicular to the Horizontal basic plane (the ground). Look, look, look at the left hand to see if it does so. Momentum will ensure the clubhead overtakes the hands, but if the left wrist stops Rolling this overtaking will happen with a bending left wrist and clubface layback. Vertical Hinging. With a resulting loss of compression. In other words the bending is a result of Steering/holding the clubface at the target. Horizontal Hinging on the other hand will see the contact point between the ball and face stay together as if welded together. The clubface will close with little or no layback......resulting in maximum compression and a straight shot. The Left Arm Flail should seem like a pretty violent throw with the left hand laying flat to the inclined plane and then a roll. Far from a simple pulling of the left arm through the shot like you would do for a short shot. Its Accumulators #2 and then #3 doing there thing.

Regards

PS In the photo below see how the left wrist is bending. You cant see the clubface but the left wrist tells the story. It is not perpendicular to the Horizontal Basic Plane, the ground but to Vertical Basic Plane-----the fence behind you! Vertical Hinging. With the clubface no doubt staying square to the target and the laying back.
