I've been Playing Golf for: Six years

My current handicap index or average score is: 74-79

My typical ball flight is: Weak draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Pull hook

Videos:

Here's a slow mo of my golf swing. I have had 2 problems over these past few months. The first was my right knee. When you watch my video, you will see my right knee try to become really stiff and straight. I am trying to make sure that when I rotate my club back, my knee does not straighten up. The second problem is in between my backswing and follow-through. I normally take the club back fairly well (my arms may be somewhat stiff when I take it back in this video), however, like Rickie Fowler and some other few Tour Pros, my clubs is dropping or dipping (it creates the number 8 figure) and changes my plane. Though it is not a big deal, it does create some pull hooks every now and then depending on the severity of the drop. Other than practicing slowly in front of a mirror, what are some drills to prevent my club from doing that?

If y'all have any other analysis, that would be great. Hopefully I can post more videos.

Right leg looks fine to me and it's normal for it to lessen in flex.

That swing is way, WAY out to the right. Way too far IMO.

Look at the way your right shoulder works on the downswing, basically going straight down instead of moving along its plane down and out . You have the "down" just fine, you need a ton more OUT.
