I practiced and played weight forward for about two months. Now I'm starting with my weight back. Eventually, this will lead to weight neutral, but it's helping me with my transition and hopefully swallowing my swing out slightly.

This is a constant for me too.Keeping my head still which stops me from swaying. On the rare occasions that I remember to keep my head still I hit the ball so well.
How quickly information gets distorted LOLThe ground was clear enough of snow to work a little on some SW shots - specifically trying to learn to use the bounce. That didn't go very well.
I also hit several 6i shots. Wasn't really working on anything specific but ended up trying what @Arlo had suggested with using my lead (left) hand to pull the handle to square the club. It was easy to over-do which resulted in several pulls. So like anything else, it'll require some work to figure out pressure and direction. Pulling "up" more so than "around" (these are feels and not necessarily what was happening) while my trail hand continued through seemed to reduce the pull hooks. And there was definitely an increase in club head speed.
My goals continue to focus on accuracy rather than distance. And I'm hoping to develop a swing that doesn't involve a lot of manipulation. Maybe I'm hoping for too much, but with my consistency problems, the simpler the better.
Contradict yourself much?How quickly information gets distorted LOL
We have said the body turning squares the clubface. Yes if clubface isnt closing quickly enough the adjustment is to
INTENTION to pull the butt of the club up and around the left hip,(parametric acceleration) to increase clubhead speed.
I've just started working on a slightly different move to take some pressure off my ribs. Keeping everything a little more tucked to my body and a little different rotation. I honestly don't know how the rest of me will like it in the end, and it's all a little weird and a work in progress. Focused on it last time out to a lot of good effect and a couple pretty terrible. Hand path and posture/alignment are a little off with it and it feels very hit or miss right now. Bit of a mess. I didn't get to play today so I've been looking at video of a few and trying to get some visuals of feels I had to speed up the process. Want to get out tomorrow and then work on whatever feels the weirdest about it at the range after.
“You think Arlo stops teaching, just because his student does not want to hear? A teacher Arlo is.Contradict yourself much?
Since I'm unable to comprehend the wisdom you're kind enough to share, you could just stop giving me advice. Sure, I'd miss these condescending replies, but I hate the idea of good information going to waste.
More consistent accuracy and distance with the driver. I go through streaks of it working well then slumps where I question my equipment and swing.
Two months later......same thing. Obviously I haven't stayed focused enough.Main thing has been tempo this year added with releasing the driver in the bottom of my swing. Too many years of duck hooks have led to holding the club face open at impact this year.
