Any advise/thoughts

Really can't wait until the season starts again or when they lift the lockdown on the simulators. In the meanwhile, let me know what you guys think on the swing...it's not the prettiest:

just a suggestion, if you are testing wedges on a sim, so use a Green for the target. you want to get an idea of how close to the pin you hit it.
your clubface angle to swing path is 10* closed .is too closed for a 58.

Really tough to give swing feedback when the swings are all sped up on the video.

If you want feedback on your numbers, as bl8d says above, best to have a target so you can judge your accuracy. Wedges are scoring clubs, so proximity to your intended target is way more important than distance.

Great point,dial in those scoring clubs .

Pro tip -- you can actually just slow down the playback speed of videos on youtube in the settings, then use the ">" to go thru frame by frame once you've paused the video. Sure the slower their original speed, the better -- but still usable.

Actually there are some nice things happening here.

The good:

your address positions look good
your grip looks good
alignments look good

The "improvable":

Coming off the ball, your wrists completely open up and fan the club way super open. Your connection between your arms and torso is quite good tho, so if you want to address this, an easy way to do this is to think of "lifting" up the club with you wrists as the first move off the ball.

This will still keep you connected but help keep the club more on plane and allow you to come back into the ball a touch shallower.

Haney gives a good overview of this move (one of the few things he is really good at explaining)

Hope this helps!

thanks for all the inputs everyone! Sorry, should have provided some context:
I do have a draw bias (with all my clubs), for these wedges I was trying to see the range on the 54 and 58; these are new setup from the previous 52 56 60 (Nike). Even the 49 was a new club as I just upgraded my clubs from cobra amps to M6.

bl8d good tip for setting the target with the sim.

@eastenduffer - correct, you can slow down the speed, but i can upload the original, also have some face-on clips. Thanks for the analysis, and tip. so set the wrist right off the takaway?

Check out what Haney says -- its not a "set", its just one part of a co-ordinated set of motions. Thinking of "setting" might lead you into the opposite of what you are doing now.

Just watch what Haney says in the video and practice getting comfortable with having the club stay outside of where you currently are at P2, lets say.

Good luck and keep working on the wedges!

ah - ok, got it!

face on view would be really helpful in determining the cause for the shut face at impact and the resulting shot shape.

Swing path is good, connection to your body is good, posture is good, etc.

but WHY is your club face being shut so significantly at impact? are you 'shifting' too far onto your lead leg forcing you to compensate with the forearms through impact? is your club face shut at address? is your grip too strong? all questions that are tough to answer with this angle.

the most important thing, your swing looks repeatable and thus predictable.

hey SeanAvery2point0 couldn't find any faceon vids, looks like I've purged a bunch. Did upload the unmod "wedge footage", a short clip (the entire clip was 10+min).

Yes, my setup is slightly open at address and close my club...I don't think i am shifting too far to the lead leg, well at least i don't feel that's what i am doing, but how i feel and what's real are very different as i found out with golf. I uploaded another vid where i tried to draw on that day but couldn't for the life of me. Anyway, thanks for the feedback, love to hear your thoughts on the new vids. tia, ac

Seems to my unprofessional eye and since you asked, that you take it away very inside. I have fought this and try to keep the club more in front of me on the backswing which also helps with being well across the target line at the top of the backswing too which you appear to be. Seems to me this inside move has you swinging very inside out which will create a bunch of right to left spin.

Just a hacker though.
