Swing looks ok, but I don't like the setup very much. You seem to have too much weight forward on your toes, like a forward lean, especially in relation to your hand position which is really tight to your body. Your hands are actually behind your head if you drew a vertical line there.

Any swing problems you have probably stem from this position.

I think you'd do yourself a favor to move back about 2-3 inches from the ball.

[*] Tuck you shirt in so we can see your setup position better. Do you feel like you're in an athletic position? Could I walk up to you and easily push you over one way or the other? Your setup looks close to being real good, but something is off about it and I can't quite pinpoint it. (I have had a few drinks, lol)
[*]You have the same problem I used to have which is your first move back with the club is breaking your wrists a bit, and letting the club get inside right off the bat. I can't freeze frame it too well on youtube, but you should be able to see what I'm talking about to some degree. Make a ton of super slow swings, really feeling just taking the club back with your shoulders/upper body. Do not let your wrists hinge until the club is parallel to the ground. (or at least much closer to it) It will be VERY VERY hard to stop doing this...do it slowly, over, and over, and over...

Forgot what I was going to say about the rest of it and gotta go eat so I'll post back my thoughts on the rest later.

*WARNING* Don't blame me if you get worse trying this stuff [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I second, tuck in shirt. Move camera back a little, cant really see clubface position at the top of swing, do you have problems playing when its windy? Looks like it was blowing when you were hitting balls, and also looks like your ball fight is pretty high.

The biggest issue I see with your swing is your first move down. From the video, it looks like you are coming over the top a little... You need to intiate the downswing with a slight lateral shift to the left before you start any rotation. Also, the setup is a little funky... you need to step back and move your weight to the balls of your feet.

The takeway can use some work (too wristy), but you do recover nicely after you put yourself in a rather flat position hip high.

Overall, not a bad swing...

Not bad - but I'm guessing not much power because you are crowding the ball so much you don;t have room to load up to make a nice wide turn. Your tempo is pretty good though.

This sounds pretty good. A side view to look at would be nice too.

WINNAR!

This also causes you to redirect the club at the top and doesn't allow you to return the club in the optimal position- on plane
