I've been playing golf for 3 years. Last golf season i started going to the range regularly.  This season i've been putting alot of work into my game.

my average score is mid to low 80s i feel like im getting closer to a break through but i know something is missing in my swing

my ball flight with my irons are high

when i miss a shot its a hook and i think i just get lazy with my hips

thanks for the all the help i've already learned so much from this community.  I was struggling with a duck hook off the tee but after doing some drills from some people here.  I started getting my hips through the shot and my swing feels back to normal

check your swing path when your going back, it seems like you might be hurrying at the top and trapping your hands resulting in a hook. A good way to check your swing path and setup 3 tees in row about 3 inches apart aiming at a target now line up your ball in front of the tees and practice taking it back over that path. As for the high ball flight move the ball just a bit forward cant tell exactly but it looks like you play the ball back a bit and that makes the ball go higher.

Yes, you are too flat...try to concentrate on bringing the club straight back and up closer to your shoulders.  Your follow through looks really good.

Ive been hitting really good solid shots and pretty consistently the problem is my misses are BAD really bad maybe because im to flat and i make it hard to get back to a good impact position? I know that was a statement but it was really a question lol am i on the right track i like to understand why something is hurting or helping my swing

try the tip I suggested if you haven't already, easiest way to straight out your take back and give us a recording from the front.

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
