I looked at my swing and compared it to the pros (Rory, Tiger, etc) with the V1 Home program and with their irons they come in a lot more layed off and shallow than I am. This program really helped me out since just looking at video is ok but your eyes play tricks on you so it's very helpful to draw lines to really see what's going on. Also you can keep the lines in place and change videos so I'm comparing my angles directly to the pros. So this is what I worked on today is coming in at a lower angle which meant for swing thoughts on backswing need to layoff more at the top. Then on downswing drop the arms down and then turn through.

This last video I compared to the pros and the downswing angle is looking much better. I just need to keep turning the body towards the target. My ass is also staying in place instead of pulling in. Something I've been working on forever!! I lapsed a little till I thought about putting my right elbow into my right hip and pushing with my right hip to swing the club then things got better again.
This swing is complicated and fragile. I don't know how I'm going to make it repeatable?
While doing this I also realized that my head didn't come up right before impact. Well my head actually stayed in the exact same place but during the downswing it went down and toward the ball instead of staying in place. So I tried keeping my head more level during my backswing and downswing and now my head stayed still at impact.
Here's the proof:
But for some reason I'm still hitting everything off the toe. I was hoping that being less steep coming in would help this but I'm still struggling with it. With my new Mizuno MP52s that makes for a lot of bad feedback in the hands. I feel like I hit about 1 in 20 pure now. Whereas before it was about 50% or even higher so something I still have to figure out.
