The impact position is the first thing that we always work on...if there is impact fallout there is no point working on other parts of the game for this is the moment of truth.
In the after picture, check out Bobby's flat left wrist, lower launch of the ball (evidence of delofting the club and compressing the ball) as well as the reduction of the axis tilt (see that the right shoulder is not too under the left shoulder).
Also notice that his eye line is not tilted but rather parallel to his target line - the eyeline does have an effect on how your brain perceives space and affects your motion.
After fixing Bobby's impact alignments, we then proceeded to work on the plane of his clubshaft. Previously due to incomplete information (i.e. take the club back on an inside arc), Bobby was going underplane big time.
By explaining to him the proper mechanics and then putting him through the motion, Bobby was able to identify the feel of being onplane and get his shaft onplane during the backstroke.
Elapsed time for correction? 5 minutes each.
Bobby is going back to Indonesia a happy man.
