My Swing (DG85)

[dg85]

Hi All I've been getting back into golf after a long hiatus and would love some feedback on my swing. I've had a lot of issues previously with over rotating my hips which caused me to sway forward towards the ball and cramp my downswing. I've worked hard on that and feel I am slowly getting on top of that, but still highly inconsistent, especially with major slices on my driver (I know a very common issue! I've also read some of the threads on here regarding potential fixes). My longer irons/hybrids have a similar issue but is more of a push. Obviously I am a high handicapper so any feedback is welcome! Apologies about the front on video. My range isn't very friendly for front on recordings.

Welcome to the site. Couple things I'd like to see.

- More knee flex at address, your right leg looks too straight. Makes it harder to turn the lower body.

- Turn both feet out and turn the right hip up and around more. Your lower body needs to get a bit more dynamic.

Thanks for the response mvmac! I have been told by a previous instructor to draw a straight line along my right hip and keep it inline with that throughout the backswing. I find it hard to maintain that line and get a deep hip turn, so in your opinion is that a must still or is it ok to depart from the line somewhat to enable the deeper turn?

First two guys I pulled up:
