Had an inconsistent day at the range and figured it would be the best time to take my first swing videos, my thought process being if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong when I'm inconsistent it will be much easier than trying to replicate what I see when I'm in the groove. Sorry for the video quality all I had was my cellphone on me...but I think you can get a good idea.

This is my first time taping and viewing my swing...but a few things I noticed:
-Back is hunched a bit...need to straighten that out/work on posture.
-I take the club back a little too far...seems that this causes it to point marginally across my target line.
-My head drops a bit coming into the impact zone/downswing.

Anyone got any insight?...My ball flight with my irons is usually straight/to the tiniest of draws...The shots with my 8 iron in the video tailed a bit to the right at the end of their ball-flight. I haven't had any formal golf instruction...so any comments are appreciated.

Your posture seems fine to me.

You bring the club back too much.

You seem a little tight, try relaxing your body more.

Thats all I've got.

Take my comments with a grain of salt.

The main thing I see is that you are releasing your wrists too early in your downswing (and losing power)...this is also called "casting".

I suspect that if you worked on this alone, you would see a big, positive difference in your consistency and distance.

You know you have done it right when the swing feels effortless, yet you are getting some really good distance and control.

Just do a search on these forums for "casting" & "swing fundamentals" and you will find plenty of discusion about this topic with some good links to pictures and videos.

Good Luck!
