I've done all I can to try to improve my swing for almost a year now. I went for lessons, but my teacher only teaches till September. So i've been on my own and I would like some of you good golfers to critique my swing. Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings lol

Send a vid of you actually hitting a golf ball to mark crossfields app. He's good at pointing out swing flaws, and what you need to do differently.

IN MY OPINION: I would have to ask a lot of questions to get the correct information.

From the video, I would guess your miss is a slice. You look like you’re playing the golf swing instead of golf.  Your spine angle changes three different times as a result of trying to get into the perfect positions. The take away looks like you lift the club head in the air really fast.  I would guess this might be because of the wood surface.  I would imagine you both chunk the ball and hit it thin. Your head moves up and then down.

My personal opinion is that people start taking lessons far before they develop their swing. Do you hit the ball solid every time? If the answer is no, I suggest the following.

Go practice your short game. Why, because the short game is the beginning of your long swing. If you can hit it any distance you want from 100 yards in, then you can practice your full swing. The practice would only be once or twice a week for an hr. In a month, your ball striking will be so good that you full swing will be 4 x better.  

Grab a book or two on mental game. I suggest the unstoppable golfer by bob rotella. Remember not everyone’s golf swing is the same. Find your golf swing not the perfect golf swing. Taking lessons you are just trying to build a confident swing. Practice the short game and you will find your confidence.
