@taffbanjo 125? For real? That's PW for most of the people I play with (high school teams). 

[taffbanjo]

I wish we Brits used American yards but sadly we don't. We'll just have to get used to hitting our eight irons about 125 or so real yards.

170 yards = joke

i bet it went high with that high release. overswinging a bit, but i do the same thing sometimes

@silowhore don't get me wrong there are plenty of great movements there, but i bet you find some slight inconsistency with that overswing? rory mcilroy struggled with the exact same thing and as soon as he remedied it, he improved off the planet

@silowhore i realize not everything has to be perfect to the letter of the law im just illustrating some of the thing's i'd be working on if i were you, the most important of those being the over swing. also you can see by the incredibly upright follow through that you are standing up out of your spine angle a bit, ideally your club head should exit under your left shoulder but you're letting everything go to early, pause at 7s your follow through goes straight up. and no im off +2 atm

@silowhore typical technical bullshit. "Try to restrict your hips and go into a firm right leg in the backswing" are you kidding. Your hips need to rotate around your right leg. What are you, a 12 handicap?

[silowhore]

massive overswing, across the line at the top, steep follow through opening hips too much in the backswing and straightening the right leg too much in the backswing. try to restrict your hips and go into a firm right leg in the backswing, and shorten it up a bit, also try to maintain your spine angle throughout the shot, you're standing up out of it

bollocks!
