Okay, here is my first attempt to post a swing video.  Here I am with my 3-wood. 

I like this swing.  The thing I would like to work on is I would like to drop the club a little in the transition, more than I am doing in this video.   When I do that, I get a lot more lag and power, but when I do that, I only hit it solidly 1 out of 5 times, so it's going to take some work. 

 

I've been Playing Golf for: off and 40 years, seriously 2 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 17 (estimate based on average score 85, course index 66)
My typical ball flight is: straight or slight fade
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook or pull

Got a face-on view?

Please be careful of positioning, too. It's important. Even being off a little affects how things look.

Yeah, I was going to do that, however, the driving range was crowded, and I couldn't set up a face on view, so I stopped with the down the line view.   I'll get a face-on view in a few days.   We're having a cold snap for the next couple of days.   

As far as positioning the camera, should I be down the line on the ball or down the line on my feet?

Like @Missouri Swede said, set up with the camera centred on your toe line. Looking forward to seeing your swing. You can learn a ton on this site. Best way to set up is to lay an alignment rod or club along your toe line and then set up the camera so the alignment rod is dead centre in the frame and square to the frame, then line your feet up to the rod. 

Yours in earnest, Jason.

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
