That posture is bunk

Good players might say cucumbers taste better pickled

No because he can make YOU better at golf

If you're following the video, the backswing Monte shows barely goes past P3

The good news is, you don't need any of those things

How is waggling not dynamic? I don't need to flop the club around before I take a swing. You can't even keep your bunk straight!

He meant you should try standing farther from the ball, in case it wasn't clear

Consider using one alignment stick (or a club) for that, and another to align the center of camera.

What's the alignment stick for? Why is it pointing way right? Why don't you line the camera up with the stick?

It's not supposed to be weight bearing, is it?

It's a matter of bringing your hand up from underneath the club. Start with your right palm facing up, which will keep the pit of your elbow facing the ball. Then grasp the club in your fingers and wrap your thumb on top purely by rotating your right forearm. Should be tension free, no different than putting your right hand on a table, palm-up, then turning it face down.

@iopio77 it looks to me like your right arm is too on top of the club, with the way your right elbow is pointing toward the camera in the DTL. This seems to be confirmed by the FO view.

Like all good jigsaw puzzles, the swing is full of fast-moving parts

Well, you've accidentally created some interesting art. Maybe you could arrange those and frame them, make a little money on the side. Title: "Heel in a Handbasket." What's your swing look like?

Try doing it slower

Hogan is a good guide as I'm drilling the P6 gateway through P7.5 reference point.

Old video though, so entirely possible the shrugging started since then

In my case, any drill I'm doing is in pursuit of a particular movement, or more broadly, the coordination necessary to make those moves.

I dunno, you don't look that shrugged to me @jaffabell compose_video_1753058077598.mp4

Golf is a game that requires much reflection.

Improving (and maintaining) swing mechanics is an important part of playing well.

Here's several more

I subscribe to @virtuoso's YouTube channel and he seems to have uploaded a whole bunch of videos on this very topic

"Leading with the right elbow" helps with that, doesn't it? I.e., it keeps left elbow from supinating early, allowing one to supinate "like a banshee" through impact, as @virtuoso, banshee expert, would say

From DTL, the shaft points left at P6, since the clubhead is out in front of the hands. Red line traces the direction of the shaft. I'm super familiar with identifying this one in my own swing, currently working on fixing it.
