I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: Don;t Keep one

My typical ball flight is: Pull with the shorter clubs and Hook with the longer clubs

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: A Pull and a Hook


The following videos are from the last 3 months. I'm located north of the board so I've had to head indoors in the last one.

First off I was just fitted a month ago for new clubs, didn't end up buying anything but had my clubs bent because there were to upright. I was told that was the biggest factor in the Pulls and Hooks. Anyways just looking for everyone's thoughts about my move and any potential problems you see. Also anyone know why in the last month my follow-through has become more "chicken winged" In all videos I'm hitting the same 58 degree wedge with a 64 degree lie.

Videos:

Nov. 2012

This is the swing I think I liked the most. It seemed very round (inside to inside) but produced the biggest pulls. I had to open the face 5 degrees and pull it back on target, but I believed that was lie angle related. Also I was told by a pro that I was standing a little to far away from the ball and was reaching a bit.

Dec. 2012

This was a fluke day in the middle of December where all the snow had melted and  we had 50 degree weather. I had tweaked the swing to try and keep my right heel down a little longer.

Jan. 2013

I hate hitting off mats. This was taken yesterday and I am really starting to notice a "left arm wing". I also noticed I am starting to stand closer to the ball and Swing more upright. Since the lie angle of this club was never adjusted I am wondering if the high toe on the mat is more prominent and causing me to hold off a release to "not go left".

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

In those outside vids.  Do you have your dog trained to pick up balls for you?

    • 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.
