I was trying for a long time to get the correct look at different stages in the downswing by working on the downswing. But now I know I have made much more progress getting to the right positions in the downswing by getting the right set up and right position at top of backswing. I am getting much more of a turning sensation now, much more of a feeling of my body being involved in the swing and the connection with the ball (even though I thought I had a good one) is dramatically improved.
sounds pretty good

Am looking forward to getting it ingrained and taking it out on the course now. Then seeing whats next!! LOL prob another backwards step!! Still not getting the woods working with this but just a few minor adjustments to be made I hope
there are always swing issues but the size of the issue should diminish based on what you have said about setting up and the back swing. I would rather be a scratch golfer with swing issues then a 20 handicap with swing issues
