Im a natural lefty baseball, hockey, everything i do. When i was younger i didnt get any clubs until my uncle gave me an old righty set. I learned how to play with them and womdering if it is hurting my power and ablilty to put my body into position more naturally. Almost like i need to force stuff whereas from the other side unloading the hips and other things would seem to be much easier because of baseball. Is it just in my head?

My vote would be that it is just in your head as you put it. During the last 20 years there have been a significant number of left handed tour pros that decided to golf right handed, and some of them said they had tried both ways and found that they golfed best with their dominant left side closest to the target at setup. You've also got Phil Mickelson who is right handed, golfs left handed, and he's no slouch when it comes to driving distance. You could always try golfing left handed (with demo or someone else's clubs), but you'd have to start from scratch. If you do start over golfing left handed you may find it more difficult then you first anticipate. Finally, your right handed swing which you've posted here on Swing Academy is'nt that bad of a swing. There are players with much worse swings than yours playing the game today.
