A couple of things immediately stand out.  I'll leave it to the experts to give more detailed responses.

1) (Down the Line view) - Your arms should hang more naturally down from your shoulders, not extended out so they line up with your shaft line.

2) (Face-on view) - On your backswing, your weight moves significantly to the outside of your right foot.  That's a real no-no.  You should brace yourself against the INSIDE of your right foot for your downswing.

Now, about those mid-calf black socks....

hahaha ya just socks for good luck, guess they aint workin! Thanks ill work on those suggestions

Does your left heel normally come off the ground and rotate/move like it does in the 2nd video (FO)?

[JBone]

Im not sure.....prob though, guessing thats a no go

[JBone]

Keep em coming guys.....that cant be all thats wrong with my swing, like it says I also have a huge slice off the tee

I would try rolling your wrists a little more through impact and keeping your left leg straighter through impact as well. (Not like a wooden post, but just a little more firm and not bent) And like the guy said above, your arms should hang more freely over the ball. Another thing, your swing is pretty upright and steep, maybe flattening it out a little bit. Get a few lessons, though and I feel like you could hit the ball pretty far. Just some stuff to work on, but don't give up because it looks like you have potential.

Oh and nice socks. Don't let people talk 'em down.

Thanks jcollins.......that is one thing I have been told, my swing is very steep and to bring it down and flatten it, been trying to work on that. never thought about the left leg, will give it a shot too. Thanks for the sock comment too lol.

[jcollins120]

Haha yeah I rock mid calf Nike black socks, too.

But yeah, if you pause the video at 0:28 in the first video of down the line, you can your club cutting across the top. That may be another thing to work on too. Hope all goes well.

Few set-up things.  Hips need to turn not shift back, like what Harmonious was talking about.

Also, you're straining how you look at the ball.  Need to tilt your head down so the ball is on your central vision.  This will also help the shoulders turn a little steeper

jcollins120 and mvmac.....thanks for all the great advice, all is def appreciated and will work on all of it
