Ooo haha yeah, I saw that video when I first started. It’s pretty common now. Early on my backswing was decent, then it broke down for some reason. My issue was going across the line ▶ this video Then also this one really helped me too. ▶ this video

It’s not easy because you obviously can hit good shots with that swing you have now. You are athletic and you make it work. But will it get you from an 8 to a 1 ? Probably not. It will take a fair bit of time to make a change. So you have to evaluate if it’s worth it.

The swing is looking great, there's always something to clean up, but that is golf. I always ask this because it's easier to compare to myself, what is your 7i swing speed? I feel like you swing fast and should have maybe an extra 10 yards.

Your hands and club goes inside in takeaway. If this video doesn't work, then youtube "across the line golf" and watch other videos. That's your main problem ▶ this video
