My Swing (Rodders129)

[Rodders129]

.

I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently 

My current handicap index or average score is: 100
My typical ball flight is: fade
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike
 

I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week.

Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down.

Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face.

Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane.

Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet!

Any comments or suggestions are welcome

I usually like to fix the face, first, as the path is most often the compensation for the open face rather than the other way around.

If you could get some good down-the-line and face-on video in slow motion, it'd go a long way toward helping. It's tough to see the face and I think the face-on view would show that you're not turning as much as you could/should.
