@Paul Saulnier - I agree about your lead heel. That's means some weight has shifted to the back. The swing was out to in with a closed face, which is why the ball started slightly ride and moved to the left.
The two things I think are worth checking are 1) Your hips at setup. They are sticking out way past your feet. Just make sure your weight is not in your heel. That makes the hip bump difficult. The weight should be in the centers of your feet. 2) Your left thumb is lifting off the club. That will make it difficult to keep the clubface square. Make sure you have the correct grip size and your right hand is not in too strong of a position. The grip is your only contact with the club. Just from the video I would suggest not allowing the left arm (trail arm) to bend more than 90. This sometimes cause an out-to-in path. thanks
You've gotten some excellent responses from @rjroll and @danny so far. If possible I would suggest a face-on view as well when posting swing videos in order to get a complete picture. I require both views when doing a V1 Analysis, and it would definitely be helpful here as well
By the way, you may have missed my recent notification, but in the future when posting swing videos please do so in the new Video Analysis Room category. Also, when posting feel free to tag other active members in the community who you would like to review your swing. Fortunately in this case, a couple of knowledgeable ones have already seen your post and offered their thoughts and suggestions. (And based on what they are saying it seems as though you are making some very good progress!)
@Paul Saulnier No problem!! It's a brand new category and it'll take some time to develop. I'm just letting folks know about it when I see videos posted elsewhere in the Forum.
The angle is a little off with the camera but, As @rjroll mentions, your lead heel comes up in the backswing. It looks like you're letting the weight build in the trail leg. I would recommend you focus on fixing that. Keep that weight forward.
Also The clubhead seems to drop below the shaft plane in the take-a-way.
Hey Paul, from this view your setup looks good with your feet flared and overall posture, but difficult to tell where the club is relative to lead thigh. Seems like you are on plane with backswing as your hands ended up in the middle of bicep at the top and your lead arm was parallel with your shoulder line. Hard to tell without drawing a line on the shaft at address if you're totally on plane or not.
The downswing appeared to be a good approach from an inside-to-out perspective with the shaft superimposed on the trail forearm. The two things I did notice was that your lead foot appears to lift up on the backswing at the heel which could potentially be a power leak. I also noticed that your clubface seemed to close or roll pretty quickly post-impact, and your trail foot seemed to over rotate on the follow-through.
What's your ball flight doing? What are your misses?
