Another question. I notice almost all great strikers heads go down as they initiate the downswing. Mine seems to go up. is this due to standing up a bit in my downswing? I didn’t get a FO video so this is prob not ideal.
another thing I always have noticed is that my follow through is higher than most. could this be due to too much wrist scooping action and not getting my hands
through? (Again face on would be ideal).
and last I am not getting too much separation at the top. Maybe I am too rigid and stiff and need to relax the arms a bit?
I plan to get a paid video analysis once I get things a bit more dialed in but figured I’d see if anyone could weigh in on these things.
Cheers!

I think the swing looks really solid. For the head movement, that is driven by lower body movement. You are right pro’s move down at the top of the backswing until about arms parallel. That’s loading into the ground so they can use the ground to push off and get more speed through the hitting area. If you do a drill, start with your feet together, move the club toward the target and as soon as you start the swing back, step toward the target with the left foot. This will get you loading into the lead foot earlier in the downswing and the stepping forward will get you more ground forces.
in addition.. it appears that your hips begin to turn on the down swing but them stop and your harms take over..that might cause you to come out of your posture a bit.
@bryangwin - It looks like you're shifting into your left side, but yes the head on view would help. I noticed you're leaned back slightly at finish. You want to be posted up on that front foot, which virtually no weight on the trail foot. Also, there is just a lot of space between your trail arm and your body. Get that connection and the swing will automatically be more around your body and should lower the arms at finish.
