Using his grip meant I no longer have to think about hands at all. Look at the playlist on his channel. Here is his no manipulation takeaway: ▶ this video AMG videos are always really good. ▶ this video

Your swing starts with your left leg/hip falling in towards the ball. Posture and alignment get thrown off from there and you stand up going into impact to try and square it back up. If you focus on quieting your hips at the start and start the takeaway with shoulder rotation, it’ll get you set on a better plane and more natural hip rotation - the Padraig video is still great, but proper hip rotation happens …

Club is going a bit too inside too early in the back swing. I think if you quiet your hips in the take way it will stop the club from getting too inside. Regardless here is a good take way video: ▶ this video

Combine it with this video: ▶ this video And that covers the vast majority of the questions I had about how to address the ball, how to begin my backswing, and what exactly I should be moving and feeling as I do it.

In your case the camera distortion is so great the result is probably misleading you. You haven’t laid down a club or alignment stick to indicate your target direction. I assume your target-line was parallel to your main mat edges and you setup with your toe line parallel to these lines. These 4 …
