What do yo shoot? Those looked pretty good, maybe a little stiff near the end of your follow through, what does your ball flight normally do? Do you have face on vid?

I 2nd that, very nice swing. Looks like you have hit quite a few balls in your lifetime...

Looks like you reach for it just a little bit. This causes a little flatness in your swing. Clubface a little closed at the top. I bet your misses are quick hooks/toe hooks. Minor things. Very solid overall. With any kind of shortgame you definitely shoot in the 70s.

by the way, do you happen to know Darren Cole?
He was my teammate in college. Great player, great guy.
Last I heard, he was a club pro somewhere around Melbourne.

Very solid overall. Based on how good it looks I would say you should look at some stretching exorcises so that you can get a better rotation of your shoulders. Your rotation is better than probably 80% of golfers, but it's something you could improve on without really messing with your swing.

Look at Tiger here. Tiger Swing

He gets his back pointed to the target, hell maybe even past it. You'll probably never get to that point but compare with your driver. Stretching will help you get more rotation and it's something many golfers don't even think about. I really don't think you should mess with your swing unless there is something wrong with how you hit the ball.

i think you could be just a tad more upright and closer to the ball. it would help you finish slight right of the target where now it looks like your finishing slight left. if i had to guess i would say your launch angle is a degree or 2 high for the driver your using based on the fact that you look to be "reaching" just a little.

Charles Howell III reaches just the same and he seems to do alright.

You can tinker around with standing more upright, but that could cause more problems.
