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

      I've been really happy with my game dispite not playing a tonne this year.    My two biggest weaknesses have had turn arounds. Driving and chipping has got much better. Used to slice my driver terribly every time, but managed to not hit 1 bad slice today. Chipping has just started to turn around, only mishit one from a weird lie where I didn't commit to the shot. Of 8 rounds this year, two in the 80s, three below 95, and only one over 100 (with horrible greens).    Just got to work on trying to at least go to the range once or twice a week for some consistency. Hit I think 4 really bad miss hits, and was a little slow starting with 3 or 4 mini slice/hooks with irons on the first few holes. Still much more good than bad shots, but more practice should get that good swing happening more and more frequently.
