Okay, I've been hitting for a little while now, and I have two swings posted on the internet to hopefully get some feedback. In a couple of days I hope to have two down the line shots, but oh well. Anyways, my question is what one or two three things should I isolate and try to work on. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks

Dude you make the same move I make . . . . a foward Sway. You need Axis Tilt and your Head needs to stay back.
From down the line you have to be over the Plane and Roundhousing.
You have to get your Hips moving before your Shoulders. The Right Hip has to clear so your Right Shoulder can move Down and not OUT. Also you head needs to stay back more.
To you it's going to feel like HUGE reverse C . . . but when you watch it will not be.
I'll be interested to hear what others say because I do the same thing. At least to me it hasn't been easy going.
Maybe try starting your downswing with the hip moving forward while they are still turned . .. also feel like somebody has an ice pick right at your left temple and if you move forward . . . see ya!
Where are your misses? Flare rights and snappers? Your hands looked good . . . but educated hands can only do so much to overcome a faulty pivot.
Time for the heavies to chime in . . . I'm with you man! I need to get this thing licked too.

You nailed it, flare rights and snappers, although snaps are rare, I don't flip my hands very often. I kind of thought I had too much forward sway, but I wanted some confirmation from someone else. Thanks. Okay people, keep it comin'.

Dude . . . You and I have twin golf swings . . . My hands are good but my Pivot and Plane is whackdiddy-whack.
Take deep divots?
I'll be here learning from advice directed to you! Maybe we should take up a collection . . . pass the plate!
Oh and another thing too . . . when you address the ball and look down at your hands . . . can you see the grip cap? If so how much all, some or none? Looks like to me you have a pretty turned left hand but you are at Adjusted Address and not Fix so it's hard to say 100%. You put this in the Hitting Section so I would assume you Hit? If so you may want to work on a Fix Address and definitely get your Right Forearm in the Plane of the Clubshaft. If that don't make sense we can talk about the Right Forearm Flying Wedge because you need to become intimate with the RFFW if you are gonna be a hitter.
Also if you do have a turned left hand and you want to keep it that way (10-2-D Grip), you need to understand how to release the club based on your grip type.
Holla Back! Hopefully someone can better address how to get you Tilted because I can't do that myself . . . but you need to do it.

B,
I can barely see the grip cap if at all at address, but I'm curious as to why you ask. Also, I am at adjusted address, and left wrist is usually pretty vertical, not turned. I think the size and shape of my hand has something to do with that illusion. I do hit, and I know that most hitters use a fix address with their right forearm on plane to help maintain the RFFW, but I am much more comfortable with the classic address. I experimented with both when I started hitting and I have had much better luck with the classic address. The very first move back in my motion is me setting my right forearm on plane, which I do pretty consistently. After reading your first comments I went back and watched both videos and I think I make a pretty big sway towards the target with my irons, but not nearly as much of one with my driver. Which may explain why I do take deep divots pretty frequently like you guessed. Let's see if we can't lick these faults. I'm all in with ya' to fix this stuff.
tgm and twelve piece..i too had that same sway issue just ask ted and yoda theve seen it and cringed... that was almost one year ago..the two things that helped me were opening up my stance and feeling that my plane line was going to right field and more extensor action...i practice in my flipflops and can smooth it 280 with NO SWAY...YEAHHHH!!!!!

Ok boss . . . The reason I asked is this . . . I want you to take the same grip you take everday . . . look down . . . what is keeping you from seeing the grip cap? Look at address and fix? In my case it is my left forearm/wrist which means . . . your wrist ain't vertical at Fix. So try this . . . get your left hand on the club so you can see the cap at fix . . . that should be vertical.
Now you don't have to change your grip if it is turned to the plane but you do need to understand how to release it properly.
If you are turned and you want to stay that way . . . read this thread . . . particularly the quotes from Yoda about hammering the wall.
Okay, I've been hitting for a little while now, and I have two swings posted on the internet to hopefully get some feedback. In a couple of days I hope to have two down the line shots, but oh well.

Work on some feet together swings to learn to get those arms swinging a bit better and help you learn to have a steady head. Check out the Tomesello letter series #2 as well. Most importantly, focus on the hands. Swing the hands and let the body respond. You've got pivot controled hands in this clip.
A great image that should help you in this case is to imagine you swing your hands past your chin before the body responds. You need to feel 'back to the target' sensation and let the hands motion pull you through 'under' the left shoulder.
