Head path and overall swing thoughts

[CHines14]

Sup guys,

anyone have any swing recommendations? What do you think of my head path, I seem to sit a bit in my swing? Just looking for anything I can work on now that the season is starting up!

Is there anything in particular you are struggling with, your misses etc? There are some really good lines and positions here but a handful of small odd things happening. Would you happen to have a face on video?

Really just struggling with consistency, my most common miss is probably a dead pull. I'll hit the occasional block as well. I'll try to grab a face-on when I get home from work today. Thanks!

Yeah a face on would be really helpful as I feel like there may be some weight shifting and release issues that would be easier to see from there.

Just look how far outside you take it. Only way to recover is a Fred Couples loop to the inside.

That was the first thing I noticed as well, but he gets to a nice position at the top and comes down on a pretty good plane, so it seemed hard to stress about the takeaway. 

Mostly what I felt like was there is some under utilization of the lower body e.g. minimal/weak hip turn and more squatting and standing up than effective rotation in transition and through impact. Also some marked loss of hip depth in the downswing to impact, but not extreme. That follow through is also really strange, like an intentional exaggerated side bend and resisting releasing his body through the ball. That was part of why I wanted to see a face on video so we can gauge what the body is doing at impact from a weight shift and hand position standpoint.

It's a bit out to in at impact. Seems like a mobility/lack of acceleration problem into the follow through.

Thanks for all the input guys! Hit a bunch into the net a bit ago but was too dark to get a good video.

Worked on getting more inside on the takeaway and I think it changed a lot in my body position and my ability to rotate. 
I’ll try to get a better video tomorrow!

I feel like that outside take-away throws your center of gravity off and then compounds into your weak lower body movement. I see it makes you struggle to maintain balance and that's why you have more of a dip than lateral rotation in your body. It can also explain why your follow through looks the way it does.
