Please comment about my swings- Pattern Zero

I am a lurker,
I am playing golf for three years. Last year I met Brian and others at MD. Managed to break 80 this year. I score lots of pars with a few disasters. This is my pattern for a straight shot. I would like to improve my consistency.

raghu,

i'm certainly no expert, but your clubface doesn't seem to open much, and you have a "sawed off" finish. the clubface may be causing you to swing too far right and try to hold off/steer.
looks like finish could use a little "left thumb under"/one last point.
 
No... They are my target numbers. Last year I had +3 AA and an inside out swing (0-2)(measured on trackman) but with club face control issues. But this year I have improved them. My ball flight and distance seems to confirm my feeling.
 
Thanks Dan

I don't understand what you mean by "expected numbers".
1. Do you mean that is what you think you are doing?
2. Or, are those actual measured results for these swings?

If answer is 1., then how would you, or anyone, really know.

To my amateur eye your swing looks loose. Backswing is way too long,
and it looks like you have cupped your left wrist and partially let go with
your right hand. Downswing is very steep. Tough to picture those numbers
relative to these swings. Don't understand how you could be swinging to the
right with +5 Angle of Attack and manage to finish with your hands below
your left shoulder and the club horizontal at the finish.

Hopefully, some experts will offer up some better observations and solutions.

PS: Pretty darn good for only playing 3 years!
 
Thanks steve, Those numbers are what it think I am doing and what i want to achieve.
I do agree that my swing is too loose and long, because it is inconsistent. I just wanted to hear it before I try to change it. My right hand does come off the club at the top.
As for the +5 AA attack, I am pretty sure it is in that range, could be more because my ball is teed up (3.0 to 3.5") and ahead of my left foot. I 'll post a picture of my impact, where it will be clear that I am hitting it up.
Swinging right by 5 degrees: I am not very sure.

Steep down swing :With the driver my VSP was 48-50, measured in Oct 09.

Last year I met Brian in a clinic, he wanted me to set up more tilted to the right with irons and a bit less tilt with the driver. Damon wanted to correct my right hand coming off the club. But it was only 15 min or so with brian. Since that time, my hip movement and back swing has changed.
