ok
1) you feet are too close together try and keep them about 60 cm apart.
2)i saw that you are lifting your head before you hit the ball.
3)camera needs to be the right way up because cant see that much.
that its really thats all i could see because the angle..
Difficult to be exact with the camera set up but there appears to be too much leg action on the backswong and the stance and posture look poor. Good acceleration through impact though

Not bad at all from that angle. Can't see what plane you're taking it back on though.
I agree with Mitch about giving yourself a slightly wider stance for better balance. Also try tilting your spine away from the target a little bit by kicking your right hip in and down. This will make it much easier to turn and load correctly.
your left hand grip looks poor - too weak - and your right hand is too strong. They'll be fighting each other with this grip.

Good feedback 23rd, I'll have a look at my grip and try a wider stance with a more braced right side to help tilt my spine. See what the results are...
I'd try to get slightly more weight on your right foot at address ( 60 /40 rather than 50/50 ) and tilt your shoulders a tad more so the right is below the left.
If you set up as you do at present, then take you right hand off the club, put it on your right thigh. Slide your hand down towards your knee ( that will drop your shoulder and bring your weight back ) then regrip with your right hand.
Obv noone else has mentioned this, so it might well be worth running it past your pro - I'm no expert, after all, and I wouldn't want to get you into bad habits. But your set up is very similar to the shape mine was, and that was the drill I was given to get a better set up position.

Also you seem to be coming too far inside the line too quickly on the backswing.
Take the club back low and slow until you're half way back, then look at the clubhead. It should be level with your hands, pointing down the target line, or even slightly in front of your hands. Your clubhead appears to be behind your hands, which could well lead to a poor position at the top of your backswing.
I think.

The one thing that I observe about your swing is from down the line and also at the top
At the top of the swing you look to lose control of the club, this will not directly hit one or two bad shots but will lead to general inconsistency
The main factor that leads to you losing control of the club is how you take the club away with your arms and boy in the first few feet of the swing
You will see that as the club moves away from the ball your elbows move away from each other (at half way back they should be the same distance apart as they were at address)
Try this
As you take the club away try and feel that your elbows move closer together (this is wrong but will offset the feeling of them seperating) It will feel like quite a squeeze but will certainly contribute to a tighter top of the backswing position and also you will be able to control the line the club swings on.
I like to see the arms, elbows and body stay connected as they move to teh top of the swing, the observation I would make about your motion is that your arms, elbows and body all move at different speeds to the top.

The worst tip in the world is to "keep you head down" This one single tip is going to keep me in a job for a very long time! When you keep you head it doesn't allow your body to turn. If you watch the video back you will notice how restricted your turn is on the way back and especially on the way through
Keep your chin up away from your chest and you will improve the turn of your body.
If you got your hands a bit higher at address (push them up away from your body) that would complete the posture improvement. You will feel a LONG way away from the ball but with practice it will start to feel better
Look forward to hearing how you guys get on
