If I pause the backswing part of video a few frames short everything looks really good... unfortunately though during the transition my right elbow/hand pulls the club across the line, when it should be allowing the club to fall away from the target line. This causes me to be too steep in the early downswing. I welcome any swing keys,thoughts, or drills that may help. I have been toying with the notion of keeping my right rear delt relaxed to prevent the late backswing fllying elbow. Many thanks in advance. p.s. sorry no ball in video, but I often push, push fade, or snap hook because of the steep approach.

I have fought the same "crossing the line" tendency for years. Finally, I took some lessons & was told to shorten my arm swing going back (which is really hard to do - it will feel like you're only making half a backswing) & to keep my elbows closer together throughout the swing. I fixed the problem of crossing the line, but then I developed a pretty severe out-to-in swing path. This is because my first move down was a turning of my shoulders, which with my old swing was fine since it brought the club back on plane & coming from the inside. When I stopped crossing the line, however, this first move down threw the club from an "in the slot" position at the top (pointing at the target) to an out-to-in, over the top position. I then had to relearn my first move down to go from a turning of the shoulders to a dropping of the arms and having my arms pull the shoulders around & though the ball. It was a lot of work to correct the original issue of crossing the line, but I feel that my swing is much more consistent and "correct" since I've made the change. Good Luck!!
