I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 10
My typical ball flight is: high
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: low fade

Sorry for the video being a little blurry, it's not like this on my phone, not sure why it is now. I've never had any lessons and I have taught myself from practice over the last couple years, can anyone help me with what I may be doing wrong and what i should work on?

Thanks for posting. Can you get a face on view as well? That would help. You swing looks pretty decent for only two years playing and no instruction.

One thing you may want to look into is your posture at set up.

Thanks, I have noticed that I seem to be sort of bent over instead of keeping my back straight. I'll take a side view of my swing next time I go to the range or the course!

Welcome to the site @Mattmccain15. Lawrenceville...  just north of Atlanta? I once worked with someone who lived there.

The link to the thread @boogielicious gave you helped dispel some myths I'd be led to believe about keeping my back "straight" at address and during the swing.

Good luck.

Jon

Stance is pretty wide, and your arms are slow to come down on the downswing.

They're behind the sequencing of your body. They're lagging too far behind.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
