I like where you are in the 1st shot. The only thing I would thing about is a little more tilt, maybe ball an 1" forward, head a little behind the ball. If it works and it's repeatable...do it. Not a expert by any means, but looks pretty solid to me.

Not to bad doc. I don’t see your left leg starting to straighten though. If you’d start using the ground (push off with the left foot ) you’d probably gain some distance too.

      colej Thanks for the feedback. I see that, too. Could be partly because I am hitting off my fromt yard and I am being careful not to take a divot.
      I will have to have somebody film my swing when i'm on a golf course and taking divots.

          I’ve been working on it myself too. If watch the long drive guys they rock back and forth. They use it as a swing key the back and forth. Left, right, left, as they move back to right they start their backswing. As the club is just about to the top the weight is bumping towards that left left again.

            It appears that you were out there doing a little leaf blowing before getting the golf club out. hahaha

              rsvman2 got a bit of DJ at the top ....some lag😉

                pellmell There's a lack of hip rotation. At left arm parallel the hips should be square to the target line and 30-45° open at impact.

                That's pretty much all us 65+ guys

                    SMT That leaf blower is kaput, and is waiting to be picked up by with the garbage tomorrow.

                          I understand age related mobility issues, which is not the major problem here. I see it with golfers of all ages and It basically comes down to bad technique.

                                      KCee It was the 'workin' in the yard' outfit... Had just finished a couple of projects prior to hitting a few practice balls.

                                      Obviously I would never go to a golf course dressed like that.

                                      On the plus side, I didn't need Garanimals to get my clothes to match! 🤣

                                          rsvman2 I'm actually pretty happy with how i'm swinging it, for the most part.

                                          Well, keep swinging that way and go play golf and have fun. 😉😊

                                            You really can’t judge a swing without seeing the ball flight. The only thing you can judge is if what you’re trying to do / working on and if it’s actually happening.

                                            Used to play with a guy in our senior quota game that if you saw his swing you’d want to play him everyday and twice on Sundays.

                                            Very, very short Zorro like fast backswing. His backswing never looked like it got past parallel to the ground. But it was too fast to actually tell. He was a scratch player.

                                            When he was young he had a bad slice. His father was a member at Westchester Country Club in New York. The head Pro there was Harry ‘Lighthorse’ Cooper.

                                            Cooper is said to be the golfer who won the most PGA Tour tournaments (30) without winning a Major. Anyway, Cooper asked the father do you want me to get rid of the slice or have him learn to play it?

                                            He said get rid of it. The only weakness this guy had was his putting (can’t have everything lol). But a broom stick putter took care of that.
