Welcome from Iceland!! 

A great thread to start you out with is here:

Up at the top, there's some info on how to best take advantage of a "My Swing" thread, and of course, lots of instructional information if you want to hunt through there to get a sense of the overall methodology of instruction for many here who visit swing threads to offer advice.

Good luck!

The reason you are pulling the ball is because you are coming over the top. Which means you are cutting across the ball and your path is going to much to the right that's why your pulling it.

Instead of starting the backswing with the shoulders at the end of your backswing try and feel yor holding your back to the target as long as possible while your hips turn to the left. So at the top feel like your shoulders are staying still while your hips turn background this will create a straighter path and eliminate the pull, Hope this helps.

Please add comments. I'm often coming toe down first with my clubs and maybe I'm spinning my hips????  The shot on the video was a pull.

How do you guys slow down the YouTube videos???

Welcome to The Sand Trap. For slow motion, most of us film slow motion with our iPhone or camera and load it up to Youtube that way.

For your swing, you have a similar move that many of us work on. You are going shallow to steep in the downswing. Below shows you at A4, the top of the backswing and A5, where you left arm is parallel to the ground on the downswing. See how much steeper the shaft is? This can lead to a bit of over the top path, which can cause pulls.

The thread below discusses it and some of the work to improve it. 

I also recommend getting a tripod to film your swing to hold it steady. Try posting a face on video when you have a chance too.
