I'm the last guy here you want evaluating your swing, but if it looks like you're breaking your wrists too early. Even in the preview of the second video you can see it. The upper half of the shaft is already perpendicular with your left forearm and you hips haven't even started rotating yet.
Well from what I see its not as much as a wrist issue as it is a body turning issue. I usually tell people to fire the right knee into the left knee before you do anything.
Trust the hands. People always feel late, but you need to give your hand eye coordination more credit. It'll get there.
Thanks for posting the video iJWT. Here is what I see.... I'm a freaking amatuer and self taught video guy so let that be known.
1) You're extremely aggressive with the lower body on you back swing. You back hip turn is pretty enormous. Having to clear your hips to much on the downswing is hard for you to do in that position so your hands are in front of you lower body rotation. This isn't a horrible thing. I'd rather have someone with an aggressive lower body that needs to shorten up a little bit than someone who is "hip locked."
2) Everyone has there own swing, so take this for what its worth. I'd
LIKE you to get more on your heels. On your back swing your left knee goes inward toward the ball a lot and I'd rather it be more stable. When you watch a professional golfer they don't stick there left knee out much, its more of there back hip loading which give the impression that the left knee is moving outward. Again, there are people who play on their toes and are really really good. But I think the majority of people would be better off trying to get on their heels.
3) Your lower body is falling a bit toward the ball on the downswing. This is causing your upper body to stand up on the down swing because it is literally the only way you can hit the ball well. When you stand up it stops hip rotation and will cause your hands, once again, to get in front of the ball. This is the snap hook bullshit your dealing with. You're right knee is diving at the ball when it needs to be diving at the left knee. When you do this its impossible to keep a posture through the ball.
You do alot of good things. Good stuff to build on. I'd focus on #3. Your rotation is going toward the ball when it really should be parallel to the ball.
Lower body is fading to the ball causing the upper body to fade away from the ball which is making your hands do way more shit than they should. This is really freaking hard to explain through text. I may make a video this afternoon to try and show this.
Edit: Jercra saw the same thing. Less noise in the lower body.
