Watch this ▶ this video. The one thing I’m swing is your arms are doing a lot of the work when it should be your body. The belt buckle reference in the video will do you wonders. Also ▶ this video talks about getting your left arm above your pec. Helped me a ton. Best of luck, you’re close.

u/SwingTip 2023 · r/GolfSwing · in “What can I fix?”
I always recommend tracing issues backward to fix things earlier in the swing first, hence recommendation. If you change posture, things happening later in your swing will adjust, and you can’t reevaluate later. Less waist bend at address. You are more vertical through impact anyways. Good golf swings are ridiculously relaxed and bad posture can make hitting good positions tough plus it introduces tension, making it …
