good swing, pretty nice balanced finish, except that driver that goes along with your age:)

one thing you may need to check out, if you can put your swing on a slower frame, is that during backswing, it looks to me you have a slide. match your head against something on the roof of the building and see for yourself.

swing tempo is very individual, but i feel that you can experiment slowing down a tad.

Shane,

Although I am not a golf professional, you can have your golf swing analyzed by professional instructors on line at 10thgreen for as little as $12. I am impressed that you have such a low handicap after playing only two years. good luck.

Guess I don't understand posting the off balance, running forward swing. Which swing is normal for you? The off balance swing serves no purpose unless you are asking why you got off balance in which case there is a great deal of ground to cover including over-swinging, possible regripping, a way to upright backswing that is off plane as well, standing a bit close to the ball, and then debate the ways of running forward that resemble A.K., Lee Trevino, or the more sedate step over of Gary Player. If falling off balance is a real and true problem, then it makes little sense to worry about the other swings -- there is work to do. Plus, the vids are hard to see -- too far away.

It is not that people don't want to offer opinions, most people will offer opinions on just about anything whether we know something about it or not, it is just I am not sure of your seriousness of intent. On the other hand, your swing at 15 looks a lot like mine did at 15 -- and secretly I wish I could still fly around as loose as that. My old pro just kept saying, "tighten it up, tighten it up."
