I have tried to make some changes so far this year. Working on starting the downswing with my lower body, trying to hold the wrist hinge longer.

Any commentary or tips would be greatly appreciated.

This is an 8 iron I'm swinging here.

Left shoulder down towards your front foot. Feel as if your right arm never bends.

Work on maintaining your inclination to the ground throughout your swing as you are lifting during the backswing and through impact. Keep more weight on your front foot during your backswing. Drive your hips more towards the target as you are still initiating your downswing with your arms.

settle that head of yours...maintain a stronger left arm...imagine pulling the butt end of the club to your left foot on the way down while rotating around your spine

I hope you did'nt hit that house over there....lol

One thing that stands out is you move around to much in your swing and lift up during the back swing.

Thanks a lot for the tips. I noticed my left arm is too loose when watching the video. That house is out of range with an 8 nice tip about driving the butt of the club down first! Also didn't realize how much I bobbed my head. As soon as this deep freeze is over in ny I will be eager to hit a few more with this stuff in mind
