I feel a bit awkward with my finish, and it looks it as well.
Is there something that I could be doing to help get me out of that funk?
Also, balance is sometimes an issue as well. You can see it in my first video. Any input for that?
Anything else you see? Bring it!
Thanks in advance!

It seems like youre standing too far away from the ball. Your arms are reaching rather than hanging naturally. Hope this helps!

Ya, like above poster said you are definitely standing too far from the ball. You look like your weight is on your toes. Try to get closer and feel your weight on the balls of your feet. Should help you hit it straighter too.

swing looks good, maybe the other posters have good advice. besides that, who cares what your follow thru looks like. you know how many tremendous golfers out there have ugly follow thrus? A lot, lol. heck, my follow thru is not pretty, but I really don't give a f***, I care about where the ball goes lol

Looking at the face on video you are too much over the ball, you need to have some tilt away from the target.... and your stance just a hair wider.

When you are too 'straight up' the club will come down too steep and you'll almost have to 'jump up out of the way' of the club thru impact and 'flip' the club underneath you.

Find the middle of your stance (the ball should be closer to your left heel) and make sure that your head feels BEHIND the middle of your stance AND STAYS THERE!!!..... then you can 'sweep' the ball and not hit down at it.

You have surprisingly little hip turn... if any.... really I'd suggest you go have a lesson and/or just go for a chat with your local pro about the things mentioned in this thread. I wouldn't want you to hurt your back which it looks like you could with that swing.

Thanks for the feedback.
A lil too much to fix at once, so I went to the range this weekend and worked on my distance from the ball. I feel that it helped, especially with balance. It looks as if it produced a baby fade, compared to the slight draw I had.
I also tried to tell myself to bring the butt of the club through first, along with some more hip turn, but I'll need some more time with that. I seem to produce a BIG push and/or slice when I tried. I'm assuming that'd be a timing issue w/ my wrist rotation?
Here are 2 videos that I made yesterday...
Thanks again!

hate to say it, but I think your old swing looks better lol

[JLMann82]

LoL That's why I love this game...

You are standing extremely far from the ball. Probably causing some issues with balance

And in your new swing, look at your swing plane. Its on the wrong plane, causing you to push the ball
