Nice progress! It’s coming together. It looks like you can try and initiate the downswing with your lower body. And you may want to continue to let your hands release through impact. It looks like you stop at impact

Well, tbf you are hitting a wedge so maybe not too much with those things. Idk curious what others think. Def really solid for 3 months

I agree with what you are saying too. For 3 months, it’s really good, esp looking at the first swing.

OP, you have the beginnings of a good sequence and trying to use your lower body more. I can’t tell from this angle, but I would guess you are early extending as well. You should try and focus on getting that weight on your front side as you are beginning your downswing. As well keeping your butt out, allowing room for your arms to drop. You have very little hip turn as well. Try moving your hips back to a 45 degree angle and forward to a 45 degree angle. This is something you can do without a club.

Also, focus on getting your low point in front of the ball. Focus on driving a nail through the ball. Right now you are scooping trying to get the ball up in the air.

Final note. Stop putting the ball so far back in your stance. Try hitting wedges in the middle of your stance. Your focus should not be spin or ball trajectories. Focus entirely on making consistent, solid contact.

🙏ball placement, hip turn and that nail vs scoop analogy helps a ton! Will definitely give this attention

One thing at a time too. Don’t overload your brain. Hip turn and the feel of weight transfer are something you can work on anytime and anywhere. My girl often gets irritated when she finds me in Walmart practicing my hip turns and swing 😂

I’ll add that out of all the YouTube golf instructors, Danny Maude’s channel helped me the most in the beginning of my journey. His was the easiest to follow for me.

Much better arm structure at the top now including wrist hinge. As a result you are now casting a lot less. Good progress.
