CoachG, I have a hard enough time keeping other thoughts out of my head with one swing to try to look in to another! Been struggling lately on my ball striking, will look at that stuff later when I get my issues sorted out.

Thanks Timanator...Good luck with your journey....Look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Does anyone have an update on Slicefixer's book?  Is he still doing schools/private instruction for out of town students?

<p>Hi All, here are some snapshots of my 3rd week into my perception of the Slicefixer swing via the Tex. Encylopedia (only). <br /> My iPhone is on a summer chair so the angle is below my beltline. In the new swing, top of my swing should be parallel (approximately there) although it will look extremely over from that angle.<br />LEFT is OLD. RIGHT is 3 Weeks into Slicefixer:<br />[

It's really weird that i'm only feeling like i'm swinging to 7:30 but in actual footage, I complete my swing. Now I know I have been massively over swinging my whole golf life. Crazy.<br /> I gained >10meters since the change on my 56deg with the 7:30pm swing. I would say 80% or so are solid middle contact. Rest are low on the face and some heel shots. Never fat.<br /> My next goal is to really capture an actual 9pm backswing instead of this full swing, and trying to understand why my hips are not open enough at impact. <br /> Haven't figure the hips yet.<br /> Any advice much appreciated.<br /></p>

You are doing a great job in building a more reliable swing. Your position in frame 6 is nearly where where you want to be for a complete backswing . In frame 7 you lift your arms rather then  turning your core which disconnects your upper body to your lower body. This throws the club "across the line" and then you have to play catch up on the way down. Yes you called it "over swinging"  and "disconnection" and your are correct but it is much better then when you started.
I cant see your impact or grip from DLT however your position in frame 11 is much better since your are no longer standing up and beginning to chicken wing your left arm at and post impact.
Good luck and keep up the good work !
Cheers,
Ray

I've jumped on board the "Slicefixer" train lately myself.  As a life-long swayer/down-the line release/overswinger, rotation/low-left release/connection is anathema to everything I've been doing for 20 years.  But, the first few experiments with the Slicefixer methods have been a revelation to my ballstriking quality and consistency.  At some point, I'd love to get feedback on my swing from the community (especially how to get rid of a horrific overswing/stuck rt arm), but before I try and figure out how to upload videos I do have a question:

My right shoulder hurts like hell after beating balls with this method.  The low left late release works great, but I feel like to accomplish it, I have to sling my right arm "under", which stretches my shoulder, and it's starting to cause pain.  Is this normal or indicative that I am not rotating through impact?

Went through this my self, film it and see if you are not pushing your right arm down through impact.

No this is not normal. You are compensating. And be a bit careful with that because some compensations can lead to injury.

When you get it working you will feel like your hands are supporting the pivot but doing very little of their own. You will apply some force with the hands but very little motion if you understand what I mean.

I think I figured out what is causing it.

On my backswing, my right arm gets way behind me (not keeping my elbows together or my upper right arm not connected to my body).  Now, coming into impact, my right arm is slowed down/stopped by my chest and my right shoulder has to hyperextend to feed the club into the ball.  The muscles and tendons in back of my right shoulder have been taking a beating.

I tried a few swings with the nerf ball between by arms and my right shoulder worked around front with no pain.
