I've been Playing Golf for: 4 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 16
My typical ball flight is: Left to right
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Been pulling it as of late, but that can change.  Would like more consistent ball striking.

Finally did proper videos, so thought I'd start a swing thread.  Some things I've noticed is my R shoulder is fairly dropped.  I know it is supposed to be lower, but it seems lower than normal.  Tried to "square up" more after watching the face on vid, but led to awful contact.  I've had some R hip issues before and wondering if this affects my posture leading to the pronounced R shoulder drop.  

Also on the face on I'm fairly ahead of the ball.  This is a PW, and I've worked on swinging down on the ball with high lofted clubs and I guess have gone to this approach.  I make fairly good contact as I'm sure you all can tell, but surprised with how out of control and long my backswing looks.  My follow through I think looks great and balanced.  I've gone to a "just be athletic" approach this year and I feel athletic in the follow through, but by watching shadows and just feel, my backswing does not feel/look athletic.  

Down the line I still notice I am fairly over the top, even though I have been working on this for years.  I've really been trying to shallow the shaft and let it drop behind me, but it still makes its way up by my head.  Thoughts and tips? 

Thanks everyone!

I am definitely not an expert, but I'll point you at a couple of instructional articles:  First, it looks to my uneducated eye that you're gripping the club up into the palm of your left hand.  Check this article:

Second, your feet are pretty square to the target line.  Flaring them open a bit may help you to turn easier, especially if you have hip issues

The biggest weakness I see is a little bit of hip sway to the right in the face on view. I think fixing this will be big in terms of ball striking.

    • Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress. 
    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
