Alright, after having that first vid put up, I was saying "ill have a new one soon". Well after much trial and error through my and my friend's vid cams, I got my coach to just tape it and we went through some things. I got my b4/aft videos and I found some things out from my swing that basically mean long clubs right and short clubs left, which was true.
Ill post both videos, but the second is the work in progress, that was about an hour after the first one of still practising the same couple things, so my old habits are still in that swing a little bit. In the second swing you can see my club coming down is in a much better position closer to my swingpath and a lot less ott in towards impact.

The things im working on are;
1. The right leg. Keeping it bent, holding all that coil so I can produce a more powerful swing.
2. Bending up of the right arm. You can see how much straighter my right arm is in the first clip. Im trying to rotate the club upwards instead of just holding my arm all the way around.
3. Shoulder turn. Getting my body turned around itself instead of as in the first video turning up (getting a little reverse pivot because of the turning up).
4. Posture. Trying to have a little more upright posture, attempting to eliminate most of the bending over of my upper body (up near shoulders), and bending moreso from the hips. More like a more athletic position.
Any/all input is appreciated. I was amazed in how big of the thread my first swing vid became. Sry to Ezra for the timing, stealing some of your swing vid's thunder BTW, these were both 7 irons, the dude with me said the first went about 160, the second around 170. Second was also higher ball flight as well.
