Read the instructions again please. Maybe a mod will come along and fix it for you but in the meantime, please review the instructions.

Ok thanks! I'm also trying to upload a slo mo video of my swing to see if any one can pin point the many things I'm doing wrong. Can anyone tell me how to upload videos? https://youtu.be/bTcSGTjWvMw This is all I could figure out.

Sam,

You can imbed the video right in your thread.  Use the button that looks like film in the tool bar.

Please give advice

A couple of things. It helps if you show a video of hitting a ball.  Practice swings can be misleading.

I would start by flaring your feet.  This helps a lot of things and is explained in the thread below.

You have a nice athletic swinging motion but need some fine tuning.  One of the 5 Simple Keys of a good golf swing is getting your weight forward at impact.  If you don't, your body tends to compensate to make good contact.  This may lead to slicing and hooks.  Check out the Key 2 Weight Forward videos in the thread below.  There are some excellent drill for this.  Your head doesn't move too much, so Key 1, steady head, is not as much of a priority.  Flaring the feet helps getting weight forward too.

@Sam Stokes

Below is an example of a drill that is working on getting weight forward.  I am working on something else too, but include the weight forward part every time.  This is also an example of how to practice.  The thread below describes this method of practice.
