Martin, just a follow-up. Hit the range yesterday. I kept my "tail feathers up" on the backswing which got me in a good position; and then as you suggested, on the downswing I concentrated on keeping my chest down, pointed at the ball. Worked great! THANKS!

Thank you for the tip. Though I have a bad back, I keep my core strong so I can keep the tail feather up and notice that when I don't I hit thin shots. When I do, its money

Tee up your thoughts here...

That's the position (without the vocalization) I try to get the feel of as I start my backswing. My problem is that I tend to come out of it in the downswing, which brings me up and out of the swing ( and a lot of thin shots).

Try and have the chest down, pointing at the ball at impact. That should help.

@Martin H.

Thanks for the tip. BTW, I had seen videos from others that actually discouraged arching the back (what you refer to as "tail feathers up"). But I know that when I start that way it feels better, and when I do hold it I hit the ball really well. Didn't know what to call it before, but now I do!
