I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: Not sure (I typically shoot mid-80s)

My typical ball flight is: slight draw or fade, depending on the day

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Shots that randomly come up 10 yards short (This 7 iron from 174 yards out lands just short of green)

Yes, they tend to be heavy and higher, especially with my wedges (52 and 56).  I am 6'4 and my clubs were handed down from someone much shorter than me.  Could it be the shaft length?

Also, I realize that one shot with an iPhone doesn't help those trying to help me out.  I'll work on getting more shots at different angles with a better quality camera.  Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

Tough to say for sure, many different variables, length, shaft flex.  I'll just go go by what I see in the video.  Looks like the left shoulder is rising too soon on the downswing, making the head and upper body tip back.  So you kinda flip, slightly fat, high shots.  I think it might be good to feel more pressure towards the toes of your left foot on the downswing.  That will help the shoulder and hip slants not level out too soon.

    • Thanks! Better though? Not worried about overdoing it yet. These were also the best videos of several I took. More to be done for sure but moving in the right direction I think. 
    • Can be out and up a little more. Not quite over-done yet.
    • Down the line and face on from today. Still feeling like I’m sticking the club into a hole in the ceiling above my right shoulder and then big loop inside to start downswing. That’s how it feels. Not how it looks though! Gotta keep working on this for a bit but I see a lot of progress. 😁
    • Day 5 (13 Mar 26) - Friday shootout cancelled- made it a practice round working from mixed tees. Plenty of up and down work around greens.  Best was a hole out birdie on the par 3 #5 hole - nice pitch and roll w/Pw from about 10yds off the green - dead center flagstick drop.  Much of round was focused on getting solid weight shift into lead foot. 
    • Day 208 3-13 Worked on wrist arching and flow. First time hitting reall balls at a range in months. It was nice to see ball flight. Still not sure it beats my backyard practice station.
