hi guys i finally got some video today and noticed i raise up in my backswing a little bit.
Does anyone have a clue what causes this or how to fix it?

I dont know what could be causing it, other than extending your spine a little bit. It's very slight, hardly even noticeable.

Good swing. Good clubhead speed.

Thanks Nate.

Would you say my hip turn looks a little unnatural ?

I was watching some video of the pros and there hips hardly move on the backswing

Maybe that could be the cause not sure

pokerlife - I'm not sure how much of a problem the head movement is. It looks like it raises some on the way back, and drops some into impact. Mine does too - only moreso...

I've given up trying to change it. I think other factors have more of a bearing on ballflight.

I'm not sure. It doesnt look particularly unnatural to me.

You are young and flexible. Raising up? Not much. Stance is too narrow. I would suggest widening it in little steps.

Pokerlife,

You have a very nice, athletic golf swing. However, I think your posture at address is a little hunched with your back-side tucked under your hips a bit. This makes it very difficult to turn your upper body with moving to the right and lifting slightly. If you video tape another swing from down-the-line, you would see what I am referring to. If you stick your back-side out slightly and tilt more from the hip sockets, you will stay more level...or your money back.

Nice observation! I was in a bad car wreck 3 years ago and messed my back up pretty good. Ive had a feeling my posture wasn't up to par but know i see it. I'm also 140 pounds soaking wet and don't have much of a backside to stick out there lol.

Ill work on this today and see what kind of difference it makes . Thanks
