First Steps? ¶

Hi Tyler - longtime lurker, first time caller. Hoping to become a frequent flyer! I've been in the desert the last six months and things have completely broken down to the point that I am having trouble making contact with the golf ball. Here's some relevant information that may be helpful to you...
Ball flight: when struck well, very straight
Miss: two ways, with more going low right when it's very bad
Strike area: recently towards the heel
Low point control: quite poor - tend to hit it fat
Desired shape: anything functional, but a draw would be nice
Swing thought: Ive been told that I am a puller/caster/shoulder spinner. Keeping the back to the target is a good thought for me.
Other notes: I'm pretty sure I've developed a great fly fishing motion. I'm a rhythm player and absolutely feel my best when I've stuck to a consistent rhythm. When I'm not playing well, I get stuck over the ball and have trouble pulling the trigger. I should note that on a 9-3 I can get pretty good contact with a usually straight ball flight with sometimes a little draw spin. Once I move to an L to L, things break down.
Three videos for you. First is front on, second is DTL with a hips/core first approach, and third is a back to target thought.
