Not sure if the embed is going to work (1st time trying), so here's the you tube link.

I'm starting to pull it right (left handed) and I know there are a number of improvements I can make. What do you suggest I should work on first? (and 2nd and 3rd :))

Any constructive swing advice is welcome!

post a face on view. have some pretty solid positions from DTL. should hit it way better than a 15 in no time.

check that your shoulders are parallel to your feet at address. looks like they're pointing out to the left right now.

i think your hip coil in the backswing is a little flawed/weak. your right hip is simply moving towards the ball while your left leg straightens.
i'd stand in your room right now (in front of a mirrors even better), get in your address position, and then try to turn your hips and shoulders to the top while keeping the left knee where it is at address. to accomplish that it's gonna feel more like a sit down into the instep of your left foot and you're gonna feel a stretch in that hip socket....as opposed to your left kneecap moving back and your left butt raising without much tension. your left knee will have to move back a little, but not as much as it is now. and your right hip won't dive at the ball in the backswing....it'll stay back more which will allow it to naturally turn deeper in the throughswing. then try to take that feeling to the range with short swings.

i'd also try swinging with your left index finger and thumb off the club. everything looks really tense and left hand dominant right now. it's hard to maintain that tenseness with only 2.5 fingers of one hand on the club, and it'll force you to swing a little more free.

Thanks Tfish,

I went to the range and practised keeping that left knee still. My ball striking improved instantly. Still have to work on a few things, but keeping the left knee still is a winner
