I could swear my swing was prettier than this. I thought I was doing well, as my scores have been improving. And then I watched the videos of my swing and about threw up! It is no wonder my distance has been suffering and I had no consistency.

So, go ahead, tear it apart and help me fix it. I do better (As most do I believe) working only on a couple things at a time. So, what should I start with?

Thanks in advance for all the pain you will cause me!

The solution for a prettier swing is really quite obvious:  have whomever is filming you swing your club.  Spending time with you down at the range,giving you feedback.... that girl is a keeper.

There is a lot of body movement.  In your videos use the objects in the background as guides and you can see how much your position changes.  Try to keep your head in a steady position and rotate through the ball.  You may have to stand a bit taller over the ball at address (I say that because you are standing up to hit the ball)

Giuseppe, Been married to that girl for 24 years and she is certainly a keeper! As far as my swing goes, the first thing I saw was all that movement. I think part of it may be caused by being bent over so much. Gonna take that thought to the range. That and I will concentrate on turning my shoulders while keeping a steady head. Got to start somewhere. Thanks for your reply.
