Well I'll start by saying this is my first time posting my swing videos online. Usually me and my coach just go over them but this year I decided since I am taking a course in college to become a CPGA golf professional (and then a PGA Class A Professional), I was going to use my knowledge of the game and take videos once a month and work towards a goal, building a modern and homegrown swing that I could rely on.
I've grown up playing junior tournaments in Ontario at a local, provincial and national level (as well as State level in Michigan). I've won once, placed well in many, and had a relatively successful junior career. Now that I am entering in the male tournaments full time, I'm moving on to the next link of my career in my pursuit to be a touring professional.
Anyways, this year I decided I needed to completely overhaul my swing and revamp what I've been working on so I can have a more mechanically sound swing that is more reliable and relies a lot less on timing to be able to compete in the future.
I'm currently ~4 handicap. Give or take, mostly tournament scores. These videos were taken today, and I invite you to comment. Before you do, please note, I have a fast swing tempo (like a Nick Price/Greg Norman/Mike Weir). It's not going to change, it's how my body clock is and because of that I've had to shorten my swing.
What I'm working on:
Working on my take-away (one piece without rolling my forearms) and taking it back on plane (one plane swing).
I'm also working on my lower body movement and my setup.
My miss is a block, because I don't let my body set. Luckily my putting and short game are phenomenal therefore I make the best of my opportunities.
Anyways, done with the rant, all opinions are welcomed. I'm still working on getting my swing a bit more upright (not much more) and my weight shift/hip movement.
Here are the videos:

If you look in my You Tube profile, you'll see my original swing and an update in March. I notice a huge improvement.
Thanks again!
