Messers D, W & C. I truly appreciate your comments and advice. There is no need for me to make any excuses but I want to give you a background. When I video taped myself around 20 years ago, I was in shock. I was literally jumping out of my shoes and 5 yards ahead of the ball by the time I finish my swing. Also my classic problem was that I could not release my hip at all so I swing across from top right to bottom left ( explains why I had to jump forward to give a ball a chance to advance ).
So with blood and sweat, I improved a bit. I think the biggest problem was that I only had so little time for golf between my job and family, so I focused on playing and trying not to lose money. Golf Digest suggests I have 23 handicap on long game and 0 handicap on short one.
Ball position : Truth is I play all my shot from the middle of my stance ( video might be angled a bit ) except driver. I always thought it was due to my inflexibility but it might be caused by OTT. As you guys pointed out, I perfected OTT so I aim at right most point and hit it straight or count on slight pull with occasional hook. I used to also have a terrible slice but they are long gone. So I can shoot +2 to +10 with OTT swing and be happy if I don't take any more videos

But I have a bit of time now, I want to see if I can make the change. For me golf has always been about the bottom line score, but in reality it might have been the challenge it represents.
Sorry for the rambling but I truly appreciate your comments. Let me check the video to see if I have a down the line view. Can't wait till your next comments for that video.
Cheers!
OK I'm getting good at this now..
