Looking for any insights in my swing. Thanks!

Swing looks good! id recommend a better angle when taking a video of your swing as it is challenging to see everything from this angle. also slight changes in the camera angle will make your swing plane, hip depth, etc appear different than they actually are so taking videos from the same angle each time is pretty important. Try to take the video from directly behind your hands pointing down the target line.

As far as the swing goes, what are you struggling with? the title of the video says you are using a 4i blade and it appears to be a really well struck ball with maybe a tiny fade. Like I said earlier, your swing looks very good and without a better camera angle or more information about what you are struggling with it would be difficult to help.

Really good video here on best angles to record from down the line and face on and why its important.

Thanks man. People say I stand too far from the ball. But every time I try to stand closer it's a disaster. The only thing I can think of is that my lie angles are too flat which causes me to stand farther from the ball unconscious. Meaning I know just by feel that unless I stand farther from the ball the club head is just going to direct the ball right because of the lie angle.

I have a higher lower body which causes my wrist to floor to be about 38 inches. I don't have shorter arms. I have high hips which causes my arms to not hang lower.

I've tried more upright lie angles but the ball just wants to go left.

Any suggestions?

Does it cause contact issues? You are probably a bit further from the ball than what would be considered textbook but from what ive seen the common issues that causes are EE and a flat shoulder turn, neither of which seem to be problems in your swing. I wouldnt chase an aesthetic. If its causing contact or ball flight issues, it may be worth changing but its hard to say how that would affect your swing.

It only caused contact issues when I was in the swing left fad.

What happened with this previously? In your old thread you discussed having those lie angles altered and how that helped this issue.

Your swing is still dope by the way, that's the kind of move that I see off the first tee and i'm like...

With the t100s I was toeing the crap out of them. With the Titleist blades there was way too much offset. The Wilson's have less offset and I hit them pretty center though they don't feel very workable for a blade. They just seem to want to go straight.

It's just a tiring task trying to get clubs tuned right without the resources needed to get it figured out in a couple of days. I've been to two different fitters. One had me 1 degree upright. The other 2 degrees flat. So that doesn't help an analytical and intuitive player like me with my confidence.

I wish I could be one of those just hit the ball guys. That's just not me.

Anyways - thanks for thinking my swing is good!

hard to find something I don't like with your swing. Looks very good. If anything maybe I'd want you to be a tad more upright at address. ( not that that would gurantee better results, but trying to pick at something). you seem to have a very good move thru the ball that produces a great shot.
