Fundamentally, I think you are good. The common problems aren’t there or excessive. Setup and posture look good. Your takeaway looks good; most are too inside. You might be a tad inside but that’s picking nits. The start of the downswing I might take a look at. Looks like you are leading with the upper body a bit that leads to an over the top path. This video might help. I’m a big fan of the AMG guys. ▶ this video
