Thoughts on my swing?

Ryan, are you a personal friend of Brian's?
I see in your very first posts back in 2005 and 2006, Brian had several bits of personal advice for you and even had you call him for a free fix.
That was nice of him, wasn't it? But I'm a bit confused by your calling him out for more personal advice.

So I should I focus on retaining hip turn and dropping right elbow in front of right hip for first move down? With mu current lower body motion, why do i h it blocks and it so high? Plus am I a flipper?
You block it right with your current body movement because the effect that movement has on the hands. The hips opening pulls the hands out, which makes the clubhead want to work in (underplane). If you add a flip, it is small and I'm guessing it is only during your bad swings. Getting underplane gives you the right shot, and the added flip to save it gives you a higher ball flight.
I'd work on retaining more hip turn until you step on the left foot, and getting the hands closer to the right leg in the downswing.
Nevermind, i guess i will get my swing advice from a site that is interested in helping people get better at golf
You got advice, probably very good advice that will help your swing. The teaching pros here are just that and do it for a living. They are not going to give you full lessons on the forum for free. What are you really asking for?

Ok so I understand this better, First move down is to hold or retain some hip turn while i drop my arms into my right leg, then turn it through as hard as i want?

The same as everyone esle gets on this site when they ask a question. Ive seen lots of posted swings and swing analysis on here.

Long ago, and far before it was useful to me, I was having a conversation with a Purchasing Agent, who had previously worked as an independent consultant. What he shared, I later used. He said, "Don't rush in and tell them the answers to all their questions. Tell them enough to justify the
money they will spend on a few topics. Leave enough topics for some return visits." Golf Instruction is like that.
Time is money and if you give away enough of it, you will have no money.
Most people posting here and seeking, in essence, free advice, understand that the professional instructors are doing this "Pro Bono" and thus the posters would never demand attention. You put up your swing, and take what you get. Then, hopefully, from the instructors perspective sign up for some real live lessons.

Ive bought Manzella products and videos, in fact in one of them, he said if I had any questions to ask him on his forum. So, I think there has been some money made off of me. Im not asking for much in comparison to other posters.
Mostly my misses are blocks, or shots that dont carry as far as others, on the high side
Make sure your grip is consistent so that you can fix your club face.
There is plenty to work on here:
i think the lower body fires a bit much, you tend to yank on the handle to keep up and it may get a little flippy through impact. A softer transition with a slower lower body could help match up your impact alignments more.
What I see and what I think Kevin is saying is that your hips are opening too much in the early part of the downswing, bringing the hands with them. You then dump the clubhead underneath and maybe even add a tiny flip.
To fix this, you need to retain some of your backswing hip turn into your downswing, before you open them up. As I stated in a previous post, I believe adding some pullback in the backswing (getting the left hip farther away from its address position) would help with this move.
The "how to do it" is how they make their money.
im very interested to hear what the owner of this website thinks of my swing.....
If you are that interested, book a lesson.

If you have a specific question about information in one of his videos, then ask it. A vague "what do you think of my swing" has nothing to do with the videos.
As you may already know, some people get more than others. Life isn't fair. If other posters have got more information from posting their swing, then "oh well".
Hope you find what you're looking for, but be prepared to pay for it--whether it be in time, money or figuring it out on your own.
Ryan you have a very good swing and you may need only very minor adjustments, you don't become a 2 hndcp. with a swing that sucks. If your trying to get below a scratch your going to need hands on live help from a very good instructor.
If you screw around with your swing trying this or that, you might be sorry. If i was in your shoes i would go see Brian or another of his instructors like Kevin, it will be the best money you ever spent on your game.
I mean your asking if it's tour quality, so you must be serious in getting as good as you can. Makes sense to get the best to be the best, right?
