Hello,

This is the first time I've ever experimented with video - and therefore the first time I've ever seen my swing (and it's faults)!  I'm self-taught and just getting back into golf after about 14 years away from the game.  Since taking the game back up in April, I've managed to get my scores down from bogey golf into the high-70's but I need to get my ball striking consistent if I'm going to get down into the mid-to-low single digits.

When I feel like I'm swinging well, my stock iron shot is a slight draw or straight ball with a mid trajectory.  I manipulate my setup to play a controlled fade with my driver.  As for equipment - I've been playing tommy armour 845m musclebacks with TT S300 shafts

Anyway, I've uploaded DTL and caddie view videos of me hitting iron shots.  I started off hitting solid/high slight pulls which during the course of the practice session devolved into a parade of disastrous smother hooks.  From what I can tell, my swing plane looks ok, but I have this downward driving move at the beginning of my downswing with a lot of extra head movement.  I also have a feeling of running out of space or getting stuck on the downswing.  Is this related to my takeaway being too flat/inside?  As you can probably tell, I also fight rolling the hands open at the beginning of the backswing (any fixes for that?).

Any feedback or tips would be very much welcomed and appreciated.  Thanks!
