Looking for some tips to make this a more consistent swing.  My bad shots are thin as i tend to pick the ball on bad shots and with the driver i cant seem to keep it low it is extremely high as i actually hit everything high.

You're setting up with the ball too far forward in your stance. On your 9-iron the ball should be in the center or just to the right of center in your stance and you have it to the left of center. With the driver you set up with the ball even with the inside of the left foot and it should be a few inches further back. Your setup adds loft and causes a higher flight. Look at the pros on YouTube and note their ball placement at setup. Also, on your driver you are swaying to your right on the back swing. On your face-on driver video, place your cursor on your nose at the start of the swing and you'll see the sway. You'll also note that you do not sway back during the swing. Once you sway to the right you stay back there. So the club reaches the low point of the downswing further behind the ball causing you to hit the ball on the upswing, resulting on a higher flightpath. Do that cursor placement with virtually any pro on YouTube and you'll see how still they keep their head during the swing. Apparently you do not sway with your irons (you didn't on the video above) or you would hit the ground behind the ball or take a huge divot. You get away with it with the driver only because the ball is on a high tee. So, I would suggest (1) a ball placement further back in your stance and (2) keep your head still. Nice looking swing, by the way.

Maybe the "weakest" grip I've ever seen (will promote higher shots). Your right hand "v" points at your front shoulder. Try "strengthening" your grip so the right hand "v" points somewhere between your chin and rear shoulder. The reason I think you can hit some "thin" shots Because you don't quite get your front hip far enough forward, in order to generate loft (via secondary axis tilt), you thrust your head back going into impact (I do this same compensatory move) You thrust your head and upper body back a lot going into impact. Because your front shoulder moves back into impact and your left (front) shoulder is connected to your left arm, which is connected to the club, the club head low point (in the swing) will move back. To compensate for this, you have to mini flip the club at impact=risk of thin shots.

You do alot of things right. Your upper body turns against your lower body on the back swing and you work from the ground up on your down swing which is good. From the DTL view I can tell that your a little underneath the plane but all in all not bad. Your grip my be causing you to hit it high and thin. Try a stronger or more  neutral grip. I bet it helps your ball striking.

Thanks for the tips as to changing my grip I was fighting a hook so when i weakened it i could actually hit the ball straight. Isnt it acceptable to have your right v pointing at middle of the chest to or right shoulder

    • I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

    • Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.
    • If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there. 
    • This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
