Proper Extension and Release

This is by far the best instruction I have seen on the subject. Totally changed my swing.

Ben Hogan's explanation

Slo Mo Sergio

Notice Sergio's lower body begins downswing, watch where his hips are at impact. Impressive

Down the line Nov. 23, 2011

My own synopsis is that I am hitting the ball sooooo much better right now. I am making much more solid contact, the ball is going much further with less effort. I can see on the video and screenshot that I am doing much better on keeping my head behind the shot and propelling my arms and hips through the shot while maintaining the spine angle.

I am not really going after these shots, you can see I have a short backswing for a few reasons. 1. I am still getting this down and don't feel like I can really go after it yet. 2. From watching the other videos you can see that my head and body pop up at the top, I am trying to limit this as well.

I have a lot of work to do with my hips still. You can see that I don't get the thrust that I could and don't start the downswing as well as I could with my legs. Too bad its Thanksgiving and the season is nearing an end.
