Right Arm bend into impact

[12 piece bucket]

YES....that sounds very accurate.

A friend (you know him well I think), an AI who I am going to work with next week for 2 full days said I need to feel like my left shoulder stays down a long time in order to get rid of some of the excess axis tilt but to me that move feels like the shoulders are dead shut.

#4 and #1 just dont release properly, 4 is a Zone 1 problem for sure but I have no idea what do to with #1.

Never heard that about getting down to the ball, but yea my plane line gets all sent out to the right and I fight hooks and pushes.

My face used to be shut but I got that closer to what I think is best for me, its probably slightly shut.

Dont have good video of the swing, here are a couple stills from last night, 7 iron on a well calibrated flight scope (169 yard carry that over drew about 7 yards). Se what I mean about the right arm bend?

This is what I would like if you look at Appleby.

Put the ball waaaaaaaay up in your stance and hit some balls and see what happens . . . can't tilt back and get to that ball . . . try to hit pull cuts.

you could maybe experiment with moving your aiming point "aft" of the ball . . . could help you lower the club by swinging your arms (#1 and #4) rather than lowering it by tilting your shoulders so much. So you could do left shoulder down ala your AI partna and move your aiming point aft . . . if you keep the shoulder down the club has gotta get down there somehow ideally by releasing #4 and #1.

Do some Hitting . . . you keep the bend in the elbow but it's not "perverted" Pitch . . . you need to get that right shoulder to work OUT TO THE PLANE . . . it's moving two vertical (resulting in shifting plane right and low pt back) . . . Launching Pad . . . Backstop for thrusting the Right Arm. Remember Right Shoulder geometry is down OUT and forward not just DOWN. Compare your pics to Appleby . . . certainly he's got the right arm bend but his right shoulder is working much more "out" to the plane than yours.
