Glad to see young Ricky Fowler win. It was only a matter of time.
Teaching pros use his swing as an example because his fundamentals are so good. He takes it vertical with an early wrist set and full shoulder turn, then lays it off behind him as he turns his hips toward the target. He gets both distance and consistent accuracy.
I am working to do the "old guy" version of Ricky Fowler's swing. Your pro can help you do the same. I think we can still hit it long and straight even into our 80s once we learn this sequence. It is NOT violent nor does it require strength or fast muscles. It is just good physics.

This is what I work on. It gets better as I learn to give myself sufficient time in the backswing to get the club set before I downswing.

Your teaching pro uses it with YOU.

Why does it need to "get better", Larry?
Haven't you been claiming for years that you:
"hit all the fairways"
"hit your long irons long and straight"
"are deadly around the greens".
What need to you have to improve on this perfect?

Well it certainly helps you out...

Do you deny that Larry comes up with a new "secret" on a schedule that
varies from a few weeks to perhaps six months?
Do you deny that each new secret always has him hitting "all the
fairways" and any day about to shoot par?

Take it back in a synchronized turn, get it vertical, lay it off to the plane or even flatter, then stay connected and turn everything through together as a unit. Gravity will release the club and you will hit it straight--IF you allow it with loose grip pressure and arm tension.

I wish I was flexible enough to rotate my left shoulder back as far as
Rickie does.

I am in process of totally changing my tempo to allow time to set my wrists on top, hesitate, then downswing. The whole deal to easy distance through the late release is to avoid casting, just bring arms and club down together with the wrists still set. That is not easy because most amateurs have a "hands" habit that will be very very difficult to break. But a few slow rehearsals before the real thing help us ingrain this change. IT really is worth some concentrated practice sessions on the range. I use a 6i and usually finish each session with a 3i or even 1i if I think I have it. Sort of a graduation present to myself.

But just a few weeks ago you were telling us you had it all done,

What changed?

backswing. You disconnect quite early lifting your left elbow away from
your body. From that top position it is impossible to stay connected
since you are already disconnected.
The weird takeaway promotes the disconnection, staying connected almost
forces you to take it back less steeply.
The short story is: NEVER imitate a particular pro. They can get away
with funky moves because they have the talent and physical ability and
they know why they are doing what they do (which is usually personal).
