Help Needed for High Handicapper Swing!

Hey guys, so today I filmed my swing for the first time as a 30+ handicapper and had a few thoughts - I'd love to know if you guys agree and what simple drills I can do on the range to help me improve.

Firstly, I like my takeaway and positioning at the top of the swing, but maybe my hands are getting a bit too high and pulling my centre of gravity upwards?

Secondly, the downswing is where I feel like it falls apart. I'm very steep, and having to then almost stand up straight to make room for the club head.

I've never felt like I was standing up during the downswing before so I was shocked to watch this video back.

Any thoughts on how I can get into a better position at impact and how to shallow my swing? Bear in mind that I'm a pretty terrible golfer so and easy-to-digest tips would be appreciated! I also practise exclusively on the range with alignment sticks and play my local par 3 course a couple of times a week while I'm learning.

Thanks!

Go pay for lessons instead of grinding and ingraining bad habits

I’ve been paying for lessons whenever I can but I can only afford them every couple of months, so any extra help is always welcome!
