I've been Playing Golf for: 1.5 years, before that 2-5 rounds a year.

My current handicap index or average score is: 10

My typical ball flight is: Fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: My miss is to the right of target. Occasional slice with the driver.

Below we have a 3-wood and 6 iron. I use the 3-wood off the Tee mostly. Sorry if the angle is a little weird. I will try to get a few better shots in a day or two.

Looks like a decent motion. Really would love to see a better camera angle. Can't tell much from this one.

Grip looks pretty weak. But again, tough to tell.

Thanks Eric. I'll try to get some better video today or tomorrow. I've never had a lesson before, That's the main reason I wanted to post my swing. I've come a long way on my own but I feel like I'm in a plateau. My grip is neutral/weak. Almost all of my shots fade a little. If I need to turn it left I just strengthen my grip. My grip is also a ten finger grip at the moment. Pitch/chip shots I use overlap. I've used all 3 grips in the past 1.5 years and I like the feel of a 10 finger.

A few things I've noticed since recording my swing; My left foot comes off the ground a little. My last few times at the range I have made sure to keep that foot planted and it helps a ton with accuracy. My hands are just over the ball at impact instead of being just ahead the ball.

Today at the range I focused on compressing the ball. I used an overlap grip instead of the 10 finger, and I used a strong grip instead of neutral/weak. The range session went great. I was hitting nice draws with the grip. I faded a few by changing my grip to weak.

I'll get some video up soon and hopefully my swing will look a little better :).
