Do you see what's wrong the swing? You are hitting weak, wipey, steep, over the top. It's very wrong. That being said it probably feels normal and fast to you. Consider that your natural motion is incorrect. And that positive deviations from what feels natural to you are going to feel weird, odd, wrong. Understand this.

Actually doing this isn’t that bad. A 3/4 swing is ok. The big thing here is that your left glute needs rotate and push back while your head needs to move towards the ball. It’ll give your arms more room to rotate through. So head push forward at impact. Left glute needs to be pushed out more (towards the left side of the screen). The last thing is that you need to the club behind you on the downswing. Try to bow …

Shorten the backswing. It looks like you are really tall, with long arms. You can absolutely afford to shorten it. Rory McIlroy is fricken 5'9" and he doesn't take it as far back as you. You will have way more control over your shots and it's pretty unlikely you'll lose any distance. Also, the club needs to move away from the ball at the top of the swing. ▶ this video Make sure you get the club moving away from the …

You swing to the left. Its seems like you try to tackle that issue by swinging your arms on a very shallow plane. However, that will not stop you from swinging to the left. You have to learn how to drop the club head under the plane NOT THE ARMS. Getting the club a bit across the line at the top will assist you in dropping the clubhead more behind your back and under the plane. ▶ this video This short gives a simple …
