As with mine, no need to hold back.

Fundamentally very nice.
Very confident. Good balance. Athletic. In 6 months she will beat most of the hackers who will comment on her swing by a mile.
The shot from behind up until impact is pretty close to perfect. She scoops it up a little bit. But that's potentially a fine golfer, you're working with there.

her swing looks very nice. maybe just trying to lift it a tad. i'd tell her to just stay down a little longer until after impact. just trust that the club will get the ball in the air. also, i'd recommend to her to not take her backswing past parallel, keep the backswing a little shorter and compact. she will probably be a very good player in time. not much to critique from what i saw.

very nice swing. 2 comments thought 1) Lag. looks like she is giving up the angle too short. (which also may contribute to the long backswing.) i think if you looked at slow motion here, you would see negative lag. This also might be way she feels like scooping the ball. 2) Would like to see a bit more extension on the follow through. She looks to be short arming the follow through a little . I'd recommend the 9-3 drill for her to maximize acceleration through impact and good position.

I wish i had someone that good as a playing partner, im sure looks much better than my swing, never videotaped mine as I dont have a way to do so, I think I wouldnt want to see what it looked like. She must have been playing for a while, doesnt look like a beginners swing to me. I love how some people will find fault with anyone as with some of the comments ive already read. I wouldnt tell her a thing if I were you, looks pretty fundamentally sound to me and if your handicap is correct, if she hits all her clubs like the 7 iron, she'll give you a run for your money when you play. It appears to be rather dark so i couldnt see how far the ball went that well but looks like she was getting pretty good distance. Be happy you've got a gf that is willing to put the effort into practicing and taking the game seriously to improve, reminds me I need to do more practicing myself as there is plenty i can improve on.

she has an nice swing. my only comment is for her to try to find a comfortable tempo, her is on the quick side but this might be the tempo that works for her. sometime a slower backswing might make you more consistent but each golfer is different.

Not bad.

She is casting the club though, probably pulls a lot of balls (pull-fade would be my guess) because of the outside-in consequence of casting the club.
