I am looking for constructive criticism on my golf swing (hopefully members of the Manzella Academy will provide some feedback as well).
Thanks

I'd look up some things on the forum on lagging clubhead takeaway and get to the range and video some down the line, face on and rear view, all with you actually hitting balls. What videos of Brians do you own?

SD?
Shot Limit,
Not sure if you are suggesting Soft Draw or are you questioning if I am trying to use Soft Draw as my pattern?

Are you using any of the SD components?
I agree with VJ on the lagging clubhead takeaway. I also see you rotating the left arm too much with the takeaway. Also your feet are closed to the club you put on the ground (is that your aiming line?), are they supposed to be parallel to it?
I also agree with VJ that you need to video while hitting a ball at the range or on the course. Things tend to change when actually hitting a ball.

Not on purpose anyway. I am thinking of NSA, with minimum twistaway.
I am going to take everyone's advice and hit some balls and post the video after that.
Currently I am fighting huge push hooks/hooks(especially with my driver). Would that be underplane with a closed clubface?
My feet are a little closed to my target line. I am not very flexible and I find by dropping my rear foot back a couple of inches I tend to get a better turn. I think i remember Brian stating that this was okay in one of his videos as well (soft draw maybe?)
In terms of rotating my left arm too much, I may be doing that to try to open the clubface on the way back to avoid hooking the ball off the golf course at impact. That is my thinking but I will be the first to admit that I don't know a ton about the golf swing.
Are you talking about a lefthanded golfer here?

Can you hit a fade?
Dropping the foot back is in one of the videos, but especially if you are hooking it, it promotes swinging in to out(left for the lefty) and may not be good. I started doing this when hooking and then kept closing my stance. What helped my was to actually do the opposite with the alignment--I opened my stance and worked on trying to fade it.
What's your grip like?

Not very consistently. I have to put a huge outside-in swing on it to get it to fade about 5 yards

In my opinion, Manzella neutral to maybe slightly weaker. Having said that, it looks like in the video I am regripping with my bottom hand just prior to takeaway, and it looks stronger.
Prior to NSA, I had a very strong grip, so I may still be fighting this.

Maybe swinging too far to the right. Why not revisit NHA? Regripping needs to get fixed first IMO.
I assume you mean swinging to far to the left, given your previous Dplane explanations?
