Could be a result of the face or something . . . seems like I remember you having a shut face right? Could be you are trying to "get under the face" by tilting back to get loft thus your right arm doesn't straighten because you have disrupted the "radius" . . . put the swing up and lets have a look.
YES....that sounds very accurate.

A friend (you know him well I think), an AI who I am going to work with next week for 2 full days said I need to feel like my left shoulder stays down a long time in order to get rid of some of the excess axis tilt but to me that move feels like the shoulders are dead shut.

#4 and #1 just dont release properly, 4 is a Zone 1 problem for sure but I have no idea what do to with #1.

Never heard that about getting down to the ball, but yea my plane line gets all sent out to the right and I fight hooks and pushes.

My face used to be shut but I got that closer to what I think is best for me, its probably slightly shut.

Dont have good video of the swing, here are a couple stills from last night, 7 iron on a well calibrated flight scope (169 yard carry that over drew about 7 yards). Se what I mean about the right arm bend?

This is what I would like if you look at Appleby.
