I videoed my swing this weekend for the first time this year. I’m over-cocking my wrists again, setting my feet too wide and diving at the ball a bit, but I’m hitting it really solid. 
Definitely some stuff to work on here.

Alex, just discovered your site and this section of it through the Dummies book on WordPress by Lisa. I almost played golf for a living and have just ONE thing to say about the 7 iron swing you show here. It was something someone told me not long ago. I played golf every day of my life (seriously), meaning either played or practiced growing up in the Philippines were I became the Junior Amateur Champion (not a big deal here in the U.S). I heard this comment about MY swing not long ago and it applies just as well to yours. Since I play INfrequently these days, it had a DRAMATIC effect. Sorry to make you read all this to get to the point but here it is: 3/4 Swing! Say that to yourself everytime you get ready to hit a shot. You’ll shorten your swing and get better and more consistent results. You really WON’T be swinging just 3/4, but you will feel like it. From the looks of your swing, you have a tendency to go WAY past parallel. Let me know how this works for you!! Best, Fred
