This is kinda a joke but also at the same time, not a joke at all. ▶ this video Tbh, this is exactly what you need to think about when you swing but it’s sorta become such a joke bc Moe Norman (famous golfer) was kinda a jokester. But like, this is the only thing I think about when I swing. I’m a fairly dev golfer, before putting this in my swing, low 90s. Now, high 70s-mid 80s, pretty consistently. This was the …

gotcha, yea I can see the misunderstanding because P2 looks like what you're describing, but it's in the backswing. P6 would be the equivalent position in the downswing. It looks like you have a pretty good weight transfer, but you're spinning your upper body early.

So here are some links. ▶ this video. And bonus, ▶ this …
