I had one request via a PM, so here it is...

I know, still a loooong way to go. That's the fun thing about this game -- you can always get better.

What an awesome sound....good compression....hard to tell what you need to work on...what are those things?

Nice motion especially for a 3 iron! Good job, keep up with whatever you're doing!

looks good to me
 

I wouldn't say a long way to go, but it is a journey for everyone.

I'll tell you some things that I see, and I would regard them as the highest of compliments: the Acceleration Rate and the Release Interval remind me of the look I've seen in Mac, when he was in his prime.

Good job with 2-M-2.

Pretty smooth there Leo...

Cheers hg, et al, for your complements.

What I work on: Posture, alignment, grip and balance. Overacceleration (this is a killer!). Bobbing during Downstroke -- but I've given up working on that because everytime I do, my game gets worse. And trust me, I've tried very hard (and I've tried almost everything)! So until someone comes up with an innovative way to fix this, I'll just leave it alone.

All of your hard work is showing Leo - As good as the previous clips you have shown me were, this is that much better.

I really love the backswing motion. A lot of folks need to watch that over and over and over - A Hogan style move IMO. Plenty of room for the right arm to straighten into the follow through with that move.

Great swing.

Very precise at the top, and very smooth through the finish. I like your finish alot. It just screams 'Balance, Power, G.O.L.F'

Yoda has made mention of a slight head drop that he did not like in his own acquired motion swing (on the Hull/Yoda videos). He mentioned that he was going to work harder on a right leg anchor to help stabilize his head thru the motion. I wonder if this can carry over to a total motion and if this is a possible fix. Can your level of bobbing lead to inconsistency?

bobbing
 

Certainly, it can.

Homer's head dropped several inches when he went to Impact Fix. In returning to Adjusted Address, his head didn't move.

In 12-3-0 , Section 2, #8, Extensor Action is set. This sets the proper distance from the ball. In most instances (especially someone with Tong's ability), a chronic problem of Bobbing that cannot be cured would lead me to believe that something else is requiring him to Bob. Therefore, if that problem is not found and cured, then he'll continue to Bob as a requirement for solid contact. Most problems, certainly in the best of players, come in pairs. (Two wrongs attempting to make a right.)

Bobbing alone, with all other alignments being perfect, would lead to fat shots. And, I would bet that Tong doesn't lay the sod over many shots, if any.

When the root cause is found, the bobbing could be eliminated.
