Any analysis/thoughts are welcome. It looks like my hands are way behind my
head and my left arm collapses a little bit. This was my worst drive of the
day, so I thought I would post this swing to see if any errors are
exaggerated. It started out going down the left side of the fairway, but
then hooked about 30 yards left of the fairway.
thanks

You end up centered between your feet. I think I've actually
seen one pro do that, so it isn't necessarily a completely
fatal flaw. But most pros and better players end up with
their weight balanced almost completely on their forward foot,
with the back foot on the tip of the toe.
As a result of not shifting weight into your front foot, it
spins out. You also fall forward at the end of the swing.
I'm not sure I agree with David about the wrist cock. It
looks to me that the wrists are cocked (and set) pretty
well at the top. It does appear that you lose the angle
fairly soon on the downswing, though.
Actually, everything is a blur through impact, so it is
very hard to tell just what is happening there. I suggest
you switch your camcorder into "sports mode" if it is
available, or if you can manually set the shutter speed,
set it as fast as you can.
All in all, though, there are some decent things about
your swing. It is decently fast and athletic, and you
have your hips facing down the target line at impact,
rather than at the ball.
