I have trouble with timing of downswing.

Hi! I have trouble with timing of downswing. Feels (and looks like?) I don't have time to post up early enough and don't get any speed into the ball. I think I know what the issue is, but not sure of the root cause nor how to fix it. Any tips are appreciated!

Here's also the DL view and some trackman numbers if it helps. (Distances are in meters)

Sami, It looks pretty good from face on, but it seems your right knee moves slightly laterally and perhaps straightens too much. I would need to see the down the line view to confirm. Also, wearing short pants allows for a better view of what the knees are doing. If in fact that is happening, it doesn't allow the right glute to be fully activated and the hands become too active early in the downswing which leads to a loss of lag, which I see when your left hand passes in front of your right thigh, your club is slightly below parallel, but not bad. This causes you to have a slight flip release,you can see a slight cupping in your left wrist at impact, and a slight chicken wing in your left arm. It seems to me you are very close to a great swing, just try to not move the right knee laterally (the laser beam drill) and try to sit into your right leg to maintain the knee flex. Also, practice letting go with the right hand on the downswing to groove a better release. (you might be pushing with the right hand ) Remember that Chuck practiced for months without his right hand on the club. Good luck. Mike B
