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.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
