I feel like my swing is a bit steep and my weight isn't forward enough on the follow through, but I am open to any critiques/suggestions.  Thanks!

Given that you seem to fall back a little at impact, it'd be really useful to see a face-on angle. Hard (for me) to say without seeing that, but I'd imagine that you aren't getting your weight forward enough. Backswing looks nice though - lots of good moves in there!

Analyzing a swing is above my pay grade, so all I can say is that the backswing looks nice but something is going on into or post impact. Your backswing looks close to what I think I see pros doing, but I've never seen a pro's left arm look like that in the follow through.

Thanks for the comments guys!  I will post a followup video from the front as soon as I can, but I think you're right: the problem is that my weight isn't getting forward enough through impact.  I think my ball flight is higher than most because of this, which is not necessarily a bad thing when I'm trying to hit greens, but the weight not getting forward creates inconsistencies in impact.  I hit a lot of shots fat (especially long irons).

    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
