Here is my two cents:
Address: your back is straight and your arms hanging down nicely. You may want a little bit more knee flex and your spine angle appears too steep.
Take away: you start your take away with your wrists - try using your shoulders to start. You are coming inside WAY to soon.
When your club is parallel to the ground, the the but end of the shaft is pointing to about 2 o'clock to the target line (when it should be parallel to the target line.)
When you arms are parallel your club should be pointing straight up in the air. (Let's use another clock analogy - straight up would be 12 o'clock). Your club is pointing at about 9:30. This is WAY too shallow.
Downswing: you are starting the downswing with your arms. You need to start the downswing with your lower body. This is where all the energy has been stored by coiling and transferring weight and this is where your largest muscles are. You arms should only be used to keep the club on plane, not to gain power.

Aside from all the stuff you do at the start...the hands get started soon, and get layed off early...you get back into a great position back into the slot on the downswing. Your hips are rotating great and are fullly rotated at impact.
I am sure you are having trouble if anything with your irons getting a littel fat sometimes because you are standing up at the top with your back leg, then drop your torso down to counter that hight...too far and it's a fattie.
So work the back leg to stay flexed up to the top, and you will stop needing to dip the body back down.

I'm a golfaholic, no question about that. Counseling wouldn't help me. They'd have to put me in prison, and then I'd talk the warden into building a hole or two and teach him how to play. ~Lee Trevino

thanks guys..
interesting greg, i always wonderd why i had a weird dip. Thanks, i'll try your advice. That swing was actually 3 weeks back n i noticed pretty much what you did gord.. and since then been working on getting my club more upright n less flat/inside on the way back. Not been able to hit balls for a while but when i do i'll post another video.
Its good gettin stuff to work on when you cant play. I'd advise anyone else who has there swing to post it, helps alot

Hey Bigman,
See you still haven't learned to swing a club yet.
Only Joking mate,
Looks better than last year, I have watched it frame by frame you do start with the hands and the club is inside the line on the back swing but from the top down it looks great, inpact is perfect.
Ian.
