Matthew,
Good golf swing- and we could elaborate on all the good things, but when I'm looking at my swing- I'm always looking for what's my biggest problem. In that light, if this were my swing, then here's some things on the list, would be areas "for me" to improve.
1) Too close to the ball- A) at address you've got the right forearm on plane with the shaft without any hip slide or weight shift to lower the right shoulder i.e. you're not in impact fix- you've got an on plane right forearm with an address body location. And at impact - just looks like not enough room.
2) "Head still" over done- "over cooked"-
after impact you keep it down so long that the hands and club elevate off- plane. That's an example of pivot controlled hands creating off-plane motion (first frame before finish).
3) The finish (and maybe backswing) swivel looks over done- over cooked also.
4) Frame three as you mention looks off plane at that point.
5) The downswing hip/foot movement looks suspect- not enough rotation/movement.
6) Frame 4- Not a fan of the arched left wrist- and my guess is the right hand and forearm are not fully supporting the load at the top- creating some issues- i.e. for example the frame before impact- to impact- looks like the body doesn't clear but rather the right elbow and shoulder "go around".
In summary, like you said- don't play alot. But overall, I'd say you implemented what you considered Golfing Machine concepts to a T. However, it's easy not to get it correct. Hand Controlled Pivot- not fully understood creates lack of body movement on the downswing. Head still creates Pivot controlled hands. "Application of backswing or finish swivel" can be overdone- as they are things that happen - not things that you try to do. They are effects not causes.
You post a sequence and want some feedback- so that's mine. Would I post my own swing- no, why would I want that kind of feedback!
Obviously they are not fully explained- but I'd suggest doing what I do which is this- don't necessarily just take any feedback and use it- but store it away and at some point when you're working on your game or some issue with it- you might remember so and so saying you we're doing this and you'll use that information to make a change that seems really relevant at that time.
Good Practice and Good Luck!
