Thanks for sharing. Since you're looking at reducing the big hook, I noticed that you're closed (relative to PGA Tour averages) at impact, and a bit flat-footed on the trail foot (I'm curious what we'd see from FO).

Without the FO view, I recommend this:

I don't think the FO view would change that too much, but you can see in the picture-in-picture how I' more open at impact than you are. Keeping the chest and torso pivot speed up helps the overtaking rates and clubface stability, as well as helping the path not get too far out to the right.

I agree i'm too closed at impact.

I have a tendency to have too much lateral move early in the downswing resulting in a lot of secondary axis tilt coming in to the ball. Also, right elbow tends to get stuck behind me on the downswing causing me to get a little flippy at the bottom. 

I've been trying to get the right elbow more in front, with the left shoulder more forward and down (or less secondary axis tilt), but doing that while opening the hips/shoulders is hard for me to grasp. In other words, i'm trying to get the arms in front of the body on the downswing and seem to stall the hips in order to do so. Just can't quite get the feeling of doing it correctly. 

Thanks for the video and your thoughts.

The lighting is bad and it's a bit blurry, but it's all I have until later today.

Okay. I'll look for the later videos, too.

I don't see too much sliding in the FO video there, nor too much SAT.
