Looking at the two swings - the 1st one you appear to have the club laid off approx 30 degrees to your toe line and in the 2nd one it looks even more (maybe 45 degrees?) which would go towards explaining the difference in shots shapes (ie: consistency).

swing felt good today , only played 7 holes and was -2. swing felt better after trying to sort out being a bit laid off ^, straightening my right arm a bit more and better hip turn.
driver from today, down the middle with a bit of draw

suffering a little bit from shanks at the moment, im assuming it's because i'm going slightly out to in, but my divots aren't pointing left.

You are rolling your wrists on the backswing that opens up the clubface. Try and feel as if your are hooding the face on the backswing.

He is talking about fanning the club and going back too far on the inside. You dont do that, you just open the face.
Just try and keep the clubface looking at the ball longer

is feel the important word here?
im trying to cut down my hook/draw and im trying to feel like im fanning the face open. I know im probably not really fanning it that much.

huge thanks to bob as swing now feeling much more comfortable and tempo now much improved.
BUT, putting has gone to bits. shot 11 over with 37 putts....
and today played nine, hit EVERY fairway and green but shot 3 over because of putting. starting to get in my head as i used to be a good putter, but likely going to go to london putting academy this month to get my technique and putter checked out. also going to a titleist demo day this wednesday, just to check that my current club specs aren't that different from what i would be fitted to now.

The more greens you hit the more putts you'll have as you're not 'chipping to 4ft' any more, you are 'hitting wedge to 20ft' instead.

been playing very well as of late but lacking consistency ; especially recently.
changed back to my old driver which is x flex as i'm struggling with the stiff shaft and this one produces a straight, boring flight. my misses are pushes and pulls with it, not hooks and slices.
in my last lesson, it was brought to my attention that my takeaway was too inside which lead to being way too in to out, causing hooks.
that has lessened recently, but i'm still very inconsistent ball-striking wise.
some clips :
5 iron, good shot but ran through the green http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h2X_yjtpqw
driver, again good shot but wind took it into right first cut. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDBkTZT0uLk
driver, pushed it right but good contact http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6-MZKf_DH8
is my downswing too much from the inside ? and would this be the reason for my inconsistency ? anything else that seems a bit off, please say.
