If you're on mobile, then put [video][/video] tags around them.

But yes, the videos are private and should be embedded.

Don't choose the private option on YouTube. ;-)

Just make it unlisted.

Well theres a few issues. My wedges im the most comfortable with, but they have a different flight then the rest of my irons. Usually a slight push right which i counteract by aiming a few yards left. My shorter irons im just looking for consistency. My longer irons tend to be low hooks. I can hit my 9 iron a mile high with a slight draw then i hit a 7 and its a low big hook usually 30-40 yards left. And my driver is just a mess. When i hit it "right" im getting between 280-310 with roll. But generally is a huge hook or slice costing me stroke after stroke. . My driver and longer irons are coating me 15 strokes a round.

One thing i tried out yesterday when i was shooting the vidoes was. Trying to get swing plane a little higher i felt like i was sweeping the ball and much lower swing plane with my longer irons. When i tried bringing it back higher i actually hit some decent high 7 irons. Inside 130 im hotting most greens. Generally a par 5 goes like this for me. Hook the driver which ends up. Going either ob or about 180. Trying to compensate. With. My 3 wood, over swinging and duffing it. Then a big hook with my 7 iron. You guys have a better trained eye then me but i think my swing plane is much better with my wedges!?

The right foot is a lot better

But the hips are too square at impact, this is where the pushes and hooks are coming from. Make sure they open up more as you get the weight forward.

Awesome thank you so much. I recently lost my job so i spend a lot of my free time on here. Now i have something else to work on. It looks to be like im very tall when im striking the ball would you say i need to work on staying lower while i work on opening my hips?

The hips opening will take care of that.

So i will have to post some videos but i feel like my swing is coming around as well as most my game. 5-6 rounds have been in the 80s and 7-9 in 80s with two 92s thrown in with my low being 84 twice. Feeling more confident with my swings and confident i can make most shots. Swing feels more controlled and tempo is better. Im actually suprised when i miss shots rather then suprised by good ones.my putting has been trending down to about 32 putts per round and ive even holed 3 putts from off the green and limited my 3 putting to once or twice a round. Also had a very nice round yesterday with only 1 dbl bogey, which for me shows improvement more then lower scores as im learning to prevent big holes. Only 3 dbl bogeys my last two rounds. I will be posting a video soon to make sure the "feel is real" in concerns to opening my hips and taking a better line on my swing.

    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
