rsvman2 trust me. I wasn't swinging this way last week, even. Couldn't get the ball in the air, dead shanks, you name it. Two things helped me, one a thread on WRX about whether you see the ball as in front of you or below you. Sounds silly I suppose but I was seeing it as in front of me ala a baseball tee and swinging around me. Thinking of swinging down has me staying in the shot way better.
The second was seeing Typhoon's swing and seeing how high he gets his arms. I'm not really doing that in these videos because I'm just trying to find something to get me through my golf trip next week but will work on that more when I get back.
Sneakylong and your advice about bending more at the knees to help tame the early extension seems to be working also. I'm also using a bit of the Master Key stuff if anybody remembers that, which is really just lead side control.
Just for teference I was barely hitting my 7 iron 130 and hit some in these videos 150 on a cool muddy day.
I wish I had filmed my swing before any of these changes to see how bad it had gotten.
