Welcome to the site. First, I like your username! Second, like a lot of us, you need to get your weight going more forward in the downswing so it is forward at impact. Below is you at setup, A1, and impact, A7. Because your hips did not move forward on the downswing, you had to flip to make good contact.

First thing to try is flare your feet out at set up. This helps the backswing turn and helps getting your lower body moving forward. See the thread below.

Second, getting our weight forward at impact is key to making consistent good contact. The video below is a great drill to try to learn the feeling and position you want to have at impact.

Thanks for joining!

A very athletic swing for a newbie.  Try to put more weight on your left side and work on flexibility.  You will be beating most people in no time.

Thanks for the info. I'll be working on those drills and will post another video when I feel like I've improved.
