I took the videos on the course, walking, so I used my lightweight point and shoot, thus the poor quality, but you can pretty much get the gist.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

That swing reminds me heavily of Rocco Mediate.

Two things that I noticed:

-Try to keep your left arm a little straighter throughout your backswing.

-You have a slight over the top move. Try to work on keeping the club on an inside plane instead of letting it slide over the top.

Excellent swing, you have great rythm.

LOL! I edited out my feet shuffling before the swing. I'm glad at least you mentioned a pro, any pro. The hook is my nemesis though.

You're right. I looked at my practice swings and the over the top and lunging wereless pronounced. Stuff happens when you put a ball in front of you.

The first thing I suggest to anyone is to work on your address position, but I don't remember anything odd from your movies (though they were small).

It looks like you may have one of my problems, i.e. moving into ball on downswing (your body gets closer to ball). You may see your right leg moving closer than when it started down the line. To fix, I am working on moving my right knee into my left knee and not into the ball.

I replaced the small vids with a larger one. Much more viewable now.

Your swing looks similar to mine about 2 years about, especially the upper body.

Your back swing looks great, you probably don't go passed parallel but I can't really tell but what I can see is that your your club is across the line at the top. That is to say your club is point to the right of the target line at the top of your swing. This is usually caused by too much rotation at the hips. This makes your shoulder come from the inside too much during your downswing and your club comes too much from the inside causing the big hook.
