My Swing (osbon23)

[osbon23]

I've been Playing Golf for: 6 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 24 (calculated last year)
My typical ball flight is: little push, big push, nice draw, or a low flat hook
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: big push, low flat hook

 

A little back story:

One year ago, I was breaking 90 routinely and scored my all-time best round of 86. I now live on a golf course and have never played more golf than I have this season, and I haven't broken 90 once. I have had a few good 9 hole rounds, but I can't put it together for a full 18 holes. In the past 2-3 weeks, my total game has completely fallen apart. 

The best part of may game has been distance. Last year, I was driving the ball well and hitting a 3 wood off the deck was a strength. This year, even when I was playing better, I have lost 20-30 yards with my driver, and I can't hit a 3 wood off the deck to save my life. With my drives, I am hitting particularly low, and the only time that I make good contact, it's a huge push into the trees. With a 3 wood, I am either hitting thin (the initial problem) or fat (the current problem), and again, when I really feel like I make good contact its a huge push into the trees.

About 3-4 weeks ago, I got a lesson, and I was encouraged to work on my aim and make a conscious effort of starting my downswing by shifting to my left. When I did this during the lesson, I was bombing it and everything seemed well; however, several days later, everything I hit started going right. I started tinkering with my swing and watching tons of Youtube videos, and now I can't even play. I hit it off the toe for a while and then the heel. My irons are hitting fat, and I am hitting low drives off the tee. My self analysis hasn't worked and has actually gotten me into trouble, so I decided to post a video here to see if I could get any help.

You have a good move with a lot of potential for a higher handicap. I'd recommend something simple to start. Your stance is on the narrow side, I'd widen it out and turn both feet out a bit. Will help with what you're trying to do with getting more pressure/weight left on the downswing.
