[i.redd.it] You setup your camera out of level. I have corrected for this in the GIF and your address posture now looks quite good. Your old man rounded back is advocated by some instructors. In the GIF I have drawn a red line representing the functional swing plane.

Also need to hinge at the wrist during the takeaway. The hinge will definitely help with your compression and ball striking.

u/Traditional_Bank7070 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Do these changes look better?”
Takeaway is inside and leads to a flat swing which means you are steep coming down. Your club is also real shut at top. Do you pull it dead left as bad shot? You need to come straight back with your takeaway but it will feel like you are moving hands away from body when you do it right (feel v real).
