I deal with chronic pain in my neck, mid-back, and lower back. At one point, I was receiving epidural steroid shots in between my vertebrae. The better I learned how to use my body efficiently and to use the club correctly, and to stop fighting against physics, the easier it got to swing a golf club over the entire round. My main goal has been to learn how to swing pain-free. I'll drop videos the videos from YouTube …

Trying the towel drill could be really useful where you tuck a towel or golf glove under your trail armpit. Try those feels I listed in my last comment. Hands by the trail hip at impact and increasing side bend and my squat in transition really helped me. I think feeling connection is a big thing so getting width in the swing could be really useful if you don’t have a lot (your plane is great, so don’t do anything …

▶ this video If you watch this and pose it you'll see that really you fire the hands to the trail thigh and then let the club release. That's how you feel it. Here's a video that shows how early pro hand speed peaks compared to slower swingers I'd just take half or slow backswings and try to learn what it feels like to really release the clubhead. You'll probably be surprised it's kind of tough to create the speed …

My dude. You're close. And I hate to tell you to watch ONE MORE video. But this thought is what will set your foundation. When you make contact with the ball, your arms/hands need to be aligned (and your power) with your trail side (right) leg. This will indirectly fix the same issue I struggle with - getting too eager and fast with your arms. It'll still take some time to subdue that LFG side of the brain though. …

Shaft lean is a moment in time and not something that is held through impact. If you are forcing it by holding your wrist angles or shoving your hands forward, you likely aren’t achieving it in the correct way. The club should already be pointing back at the middle of your chest almost immediately after impact, and your arms and hands are technically on the trail side of your chest at impact. It’s important to get …
