How to become a better ball striker?

MJ,
Thanks for the insight I will think on why I might be doing that move.... I will head to the range soon so that I can shoot some video.

Thanks

MJ,
Here are some video shots of my latest range session film this morning. Ive been working hard isnt perfect but seems to be getting, better scores and ball flight says it has but I know it can get even better... really been working hard.

What I noticed is that the exit of the club is to high. Still some lean left on the backswing... working on it but it isnt going anywhere ... cant figure it out

I am staying behind the driver much better not as much forward slide... Path way inside - out, looks as im too under the driver plane? maybe not enough up is why im hitting some many draws /too much left curve...

Much better with the forward press move....

Much better height and launch with the driver and irons

Was taught to come through the ball with a angle hinge club face and i cant seem to wok out of it... I dont swivel cause when I do I hit super hooks..... I know it would be a great improvment....

MJ,
I tried to use the camera angles from the article on the site my tripod wouldnt go as high as needed for the stablized plane of the swing... So thats why its so many videos... I did Driver and 6iron .... DTL, FO. C... High Speed and normal videos

Video:

Thanks for taking a look the high speed videos record faster so the swings are around the 4 min 35 second mark or so..... again thanks let me know what you think of the work ive been putting in.....

MJ,
Thanks for changing the format, I know your busy I hope you see some improvements in the pattern

I know I still have that late right shoulder jack up move still don’t know how to get rid of it and I know my foot work needs work.

I know you will have some very helpful info.... I play an Armed Forces tournament in late Sept and wanted to see if I could refine my pattern by then.

I'm not able to get on TM/FS this month or the next as the kids started back to school so other things take priority.
So I have to do it the old fashion way.. Dig it out of the dirt and play and use video on the range .. Any recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

MJ,
I had a long session after work yesterday and I think I’m making progress the ball flight looked great to my eyes very little curvature ... Hitting balls at multiple targets across the range. Seems like the club is working like a club!!! Simple D plane with some speed distance seemed ok also.

Wanted to say that all the ideas and words of encouragement have been great!!!

Thanks

RA,

Took a look at all of your swings... I will say that you should be proud of your improvements. Your overall movement has been upgraded to a very nice level.
Are there any specific questions that you had or any adjustments that you feel you need to make???

MJ,
None that I can think of at the moment.... Still when I try to hit less than a full swing shot I get the hook; say trying to hit a knock down shot into the wind I tend to hit them way left....

Putting help and short game help is need all the time..... I will take some video of around the green shots and putting if you would take a look it would be greatly appreciated.
