If there had been YouTube in the 80s and early 90s, the 35 years I spent trying to self reach a good golf swing might've gotten me somewhere. Instead I learned everything I thought I knew by watching my favorite golfers, Couples, Peter Jacobson, and Payne Stewart, maybe 4-5 times per year and then racing to the range to try to emulate them.
I spent most of my life trying to NOT pause at the top and instead get myself in time via an overly slow backswing and transition that I could only keep right for a few rounds at a time. It has been my downfall. Now I'm in a fight with myself over the pause. Some days it works, some days I come unfucked.
And I'm not more than a stroke or two better than I was in, say, 1998.

That's a good one. Added to playlist.

Of current players, Hideki has always been the swing I want. Unfortunately my brain is unable to pause or even slow down at the top.

We have opposite problems. Which is why YouTube for the golf swing isn’t a great idea.
Tom Saguto has helped my swing immeasurably
