How old are you? lol.

First of all, you need to go with a high finisher, a la Bubba Watson. If you don't know what I'm talking about look up Bubba Watson on youtube and look at his finish. Finish higher with your hands. This will help you get the proper weight shift to your front foot...you don't see to have enough turn coming through the ball. Hope this helps.

It looks like you take the club too far inside on your take away. I commonly do this, and have worked hard to fix it.

Do you commonly push/slice the ball? Or hit the ball of the heel of the club? I had these common problems when I was too far inside on the back swing.

I could be wrong, but in the second video, it looks like your grip is fairly weak. Try turning your left hand over the top of the club more so that you can see at least your middle finger knuckle. My grip is turned enough to almost see my third knuckle. This should help with a slice, if you have one.

Well you have a pretty free wheelin' swing. Your arms and shoulders are disconnected meaning you let your arms go around your body freely rather than stay in sync with your shoulder turn. A fundamental of a conventional golf swing is that you keep your arms in front of your body in unison with the shoulder turn. The arms stop going back when the shoulders stop turning. The arms should not outrace the shoulder turn going back.

Your right leg has completely straightened up at the end of your backswing. Look at the flex you have in your knee at address. You want to keep the knee flexed throughout the backswing.

if i turn my left hand, should i turn my right one too?
