I am working on the lighting issues. The fluorescents just are not going to work.

Hey EOF, I have a very similar set up in my garage. I personally bought a florescent fixture with four lights instead of two. It is still a bit dark, but there is none of that weird flashy stuff you have going on. Mine were $30 or so at Home Depot. I've also thought of buying one of those freestanding halogen work lamps like painters use. I think if I pointed it at myself, it would be almost as good as daylight.
Also, are you planning on just using the softer balls? I bought a canvas drop cloth and hung it up so I could hit real balls. The first driver shot went through it like it wasn't there. Since then, I've been hitting those harder foam balls you mentioned in another thread. I'd like to go back to real balls, but all of the netting I've seen is about $200 for the size I would need. What is your plan?

I am going to opt for the halogen light. I took a few other videos farther back in the garage where I really cannot swing but I have a halogen over the bench. Those came out very good. Sears has one I am looking at for $20.
As for the harder golf balls I have had a net but the idea of hitting one that goes through kind of scares me too much to make a free swing. I am sticking with the foam ones for now. The Callaway ones are actually pretty firm.
I figure if nothing else I can keep flexibility over the winter and work on a few things.

Very good golf swing. I noticed you've developed a bit more of a "palms opposing" grip where the right hand is neutral but the left hand is strong. Any particular reason for that? Not saying you should change, I'm just curious how it developed.
Perhaps a tad more leaned forward at the top than I would like but it's not disastrous. It does mean you are probably across the line at the top. I don't see any sort of slack between your hips, shoulders, and arms. So everything starts down together. In some cases that can get a bit OTT'ish but since you are set at the top with a bit across the line these two moves can sometimes counter each other.
The head shifts slightly forward initially but then steady's out in one spot as everything turns. That means the increase of axis tilt is from the powerful lower body action and not from an artificial head drop.
Great impact position, head back, hands forward, and the heel of the back foot is coming up off the ground. Solid turn of the hips from start to finish. Looks like you really try to re-hinge the club post impact. Bad shots typically a fade/push?
The finish is a little awkward to me. That left shoulder is really bumping into your chin and the left arm wants to come across your face as the right elbow bends way out behind you. Hands are really high. It seems like you are taking great strides to approach impact as much from the inside as possible and trying very hard to throw the clubhead outside to the left of your target.
A down the line view would be great.

I will post a down the line when I get better lighting. This angle is better because of the lighting at the bench I described. I started out as a severely under plane player who played a big hook with everything in the bag. What happened is I got the club really steep at the start of the downswing in order to swing less in to out and at that point I was kind of stuck. Brian gave me some ideas which I have been able to implement to some degree. My ball flight is pretty straight at this point. At least it was the last time I played.
Thanks for the ideas. It is a work in progress.
How about something like this:

I think that is the one I was looking at.
