Severe cross the line? But works

[llewol007]

I wanted to throw this video of my recent swing out there. I know the apparent swing fault but I’ve learned to play it with some success while maintaining my handicap. Question for the room is what is the culprit? Chicken wing? cupped wrist? I took a series of lessons and the instructor put me on video and said my numbers were pretty spot on in terms of impact, angle of attack etc and was truthful enough to ask me if I wanted to pay him to make my swing look pretty. Still bugs me enough to make this post. What do you think? Thanks in advance for all the input or comments.

I would say the culprit is your posture and late wrist hinge. Seems like your excessive knee flex makes you not get a full hip turn and the arms and hands alone finish the backswing and the club has no choice but to go across.  If it's not a pain in the a** to get it on plane in the downswing, I wouldn't mess with it though.

Make sure the camera is right behind the hands down the target line as well at about waist height. That camera angle outside the ball will make you look more across than you actually are..

To my eye the setup looks just fine, but you keep your lead heel down through the backswing and with your flexibility level that is limiting your body turn. Your arm swing would match if you were able to get more hip/shoulder turn but it doesn't match up as @tthomasgolfer605 has pointed out. At this point your hip and shoulder turn away from the target has stopped entirely. Start your forward pressure shift and downswing here and you're looking pretty dang good IMO. 

 

 

Ending your backswing here would help with getting rid of that big reroute/manipulation that you have to do to quickly get the club on plane too
