Thanks ahead of time!!

I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 16.5

My typical ball flight is: slight fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push-fade or banana balls.

Honestly, I can hit em all....Pull-fades occasionally happen but I usually feel when I'm coming over the top and it's a one-off swing. Occasionally I'll hit some gnarly snap-hooks (usually right after a pull/fade :)

Sometimes the ball goes straight...Sometimes...

I hit good draws too....they just all seem to happen on the range :)

Goal: Consistent draw (isnt that everyone's?)

Grip looks a bit strong to me and the lower body looks pretty tense because the hips aren't turning as fully and freely as they should. You ought to take a gander at these great instructional threads.

and . That will keep you busy for a while. Good luck and welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site.

Get the axis tilt at set-up (angle of the spine away from the target) by having your hips pushed a little forward, not from tipping head back.

Head is too far back and it causes the head to move around a little too much during the backswing.

Gotcha, thanks! Will work on that today. I'll try to quiet the head a little too. Does my swing plane look too flat? Should I come UP more than AROUND in the backswing?

With the head being back too much it'll encourage you to load the club low and in.

Also watch your camera angles.
