Here's a link to a video one of my friends shot of me last september during a matchplay match. I had slept for a couple of hours and was 4 down after 4, this is the teeshot on 6. after I just pulled one back with the putt on the 5., which are also in the clip.
Poor balance is probably caused by too many cervezas and spacecorhibas 2 nights in a row ............... anyway please comment.........it's the danish version of hitting translated directly from LBG

Looks like a 'hit' to me, very nice work Thom!
Power package alignments look solid (zone 2 arms lane), but is being limited by the pivot (zone 1).
A touch more knee flex/hip bend at address and right shoulder down plane and you'll probably find your balance again. Go to impact fix and stay there with your eyes closed. Next, eyes closed, back and through, with a heavy club keeping your balance.
Some cross line hip motion may be quite helpful to you as well. Right hip back over right heel, through over left toes.

A typical hitter, yet....
Tee shot: hitter's waggle, raise up (swing axis shift) and try to "pick" the ball up, too, which suggests you try to "hit and steer the ball up and high", a "picking-hitter" to me.
Putting strok: very little, if some, follow through, which suggests you hit (or "hack" or "quit") at the ball. It went in. So, good talent!

Thanks for the comments, keep them coming.
I'm working on the axis tilt cross line, and getting the right shoulder on plane on the downswing all the time. It is my main concern at the moment. Especially with the driver I run out of right arm and we all know what that does
I'm doing basic motion concentrating on going all the way to both arms straight/left wrist flat and uncocked.
Thom,
Certainly many areas that you could work on- some of them listed above. It's more of a question of which ones "you" want to attack first- that seem within grasp.
Personally, I just look for the area of the movement that seems the furthest from correct. It is readily apparent - not only in the full stroke but in the putter stroke also- that you have no finish location. If you want to use Golfing Machine terms - then the Finish is part of the Star System Triad and it should be a goal to get to a specific location- not merely "impact fallout".
On the full stroke you work on maintaining your "still head" all the way through to the finish. That will retain your waist bend.
On the putter stroke you don't let go of the grip after the practice stroke- that's not teaching you to hold the finish or your grip.
For both - you hold the finish until the ball has hit the ground on the full shots and hit the bottom of the cup on the putts. The simple approach is to ask yourself how many pros- let go of the club and start walking to the hole on a 5 foot putt before the ball begins to fall into the cup?
Simple stuff - but important basics. They give you "control" over the movement. Basically you want to get rid of your post impact blackout. That's similar but different than the alcohol induced blackout - that Bucket experiences every night.

Thanks, Mike
I think you really have a point. I've been focusing a lot on backswing, downswing and impact, but haven't given the finish/end much thought. I'll take your advice and try to hold my finish at least till the ball has hit the ground on full swings and till the ball is in the hole (hopefully) on chips and putts.
Another thing I'm trying to remember is to lift my toes during my setup/address to get the weight a little back. It seems that I have a tendency to be a little to much on my toes.
Regarding the match, I actually won after the lame start, and that was crazy, I was Bucketnumb at the time

I don't really have anything to add besides nice birdie and congrats on your come-back! I've always thought come-backs are that much sweeter.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
