I've been Playing Golf for: 7 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 73 (I don't keep a solid handicap - making it a goal to get better about this in 2016)
My typical ball flight is: my natural flight is a fade, but I most commonly will play a small draw (2-5 yards max).
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: I cannot stand it when I hit spinning pull fades!!! 

Sorry this isn't in slow motion, I had some encoding issues getting the file to Vimeo in slo-mo :(  

I take lessons from a swing coach where I live, but definitely open to suggestion with that slight over the top motion that I've got.  My body just loves to move left too soon... (especially under the gun)

Nice looking range!

I'd recommend allowing the left shoulder to work downward longer on the backswing. Will help you keep your head and hips from drifting to the right and reduce/eliminate those spinny fades.

Ok so analysing a swing like this certainly gets beyond my pay grade,especially with someone who I believe does swing analysis himself.But having said this,the only thing I think I see is a swing that is too long for the shoulder rotation.In other words,the arms keep going when the shoulders have stopped turning.

Sorry for such a late response, but yes, the shoulders are a KILLER for me sometimes!  

I always have to remind myself to turn the shoulders rather than complete the swing by making my hands travel further. 

That being said, I also have struggled with reverse pivots, hence that sway (overcorrection) you see in the swing.  Trying to get it a bit more centered now.

    • Day 2: did my Evolver drill in the mirror.  No club, just did the motion. And this time I am confident I am doing it correctly.  
    • Nothing is assured and lots of talented young athletes in many sports fail to achieve greatness. as was said, injuries, growth, lots of things can come into play, And let’s let honest, over the years a few players have been branded “The Next Tiger Woods” and yet there is only 1 Tiger Woods. My initial point was if he can do a great breakout it may capture the attention of a new generation.  Back in the 70s it was Secretariat in horse racing, we also had Jordan in basketball and let’s not forget Tiger for golf.  Stories get people interested and I think golf needs a new story. I will pull for him and hope it works out but there are so many factors that come into play you just do not know, But I can hope.
    • Day 114: 4/19/24 Chipping and putting practice. Tried a little hinge and hold with good results, which has never been the case during a real round. Playing tomorrow and eager to play.
    • I don't think I've found any of the Good Good stuff, or the guys that were once a part of it, very interesting.
