Heather, would you please try and get one of his current action as I assume he has made progress under professional instruction from when he was 8 years old.
All children swing naturally but his swing at 8, although reasonable fluid had so much wrong with it that I am hoping to see a vast improvement in his technique now.

Ah, just seen the new video and what a great improvement. Posture looks to be very good indeed and he is no longer open to the target as he was when he was 8.
Loved the straight left arm, nice and straight at the top, but I am questioning the Pro instruction as to why he has a closed clubface at the top of the swing and has also gone slightly over the target line.
Perhaps this is the modern way of teaching that I seem to have missed as I am an old timer who swung with an open clubface at the top and not bowed as Nat is doing.
Overall I thought he has a nice swing with good tempo. Keep him at it, Heather, you never know he just may have what it takes.

He will get stronger as he gets older but I expect he can still hit it further than I can now. Look forwad to seeing a better quality video.

I noticed while watching the golf in qatar that Jiminez' club face is very closed at the top too.

There are always exceptions to the rule, Philip, you know that. Jack Nicklaus' flying right elbow is a classic example.
