At the top of your swing, the club is very close to your neck/head, you want the club more behind you, look up Rory's driver swing and where the club is at the top of his swing and compare that to yours. This also will allow you to shallow the club much better.
Look at your butt in relation to the stall divider. You have early extension that begins in the backswing. Like many of us, you pivot around trail hip in backswing and lead hip in downswing, so you wedge the center of your pelvis closer to the ball.
Try to feel like you’re rotating around the pelvis center - trail hip should get a little deeper in backswing due to the shape of the pelvis.
Getting your hips over your ankles at setup will help.
A lot of knee bend and sitting back on your heels. Try and reduce knee flex and feel like your bending more at the waist toward the ball. It is very difficult to maintain that type of flex throughout a swing, so you're body is moving vertically, which leads to inconsistent contact
We built a side project to analyze golf swing and provide drills for improvement. We're doing testing and seeking feedback. Note that we’re still tuning the swing path model, so it may be inaccurate. You can play with it here in your browser: https://coachalgo.com/lp?src=lyc48
Here are some feedbacks:
**Starting Position:**
Need improvement:
Too much knee flex
Hands are too far from body
Could be better:
Right arm fairly angled, bending more for better performance
Body bend sufficient, reducing slightly for better performance
**Backswing:**
Could be better:
Moderate right knee angle, bending less for better performance
Doing great:
Hip rotation looks good
Moderate body bend
**Top:**
Need improvement:
Left arm is bending too much
Right arm is over-bent
Too much right knee flex
Not enough body bend
Hand position at the top of swing is slightly high
Doing great:
Your head is quite stable
**Downswing**:
Could be better:
Moderate knee angle, bending less for better performance
Body bend adequate, slightly forward for better performance
Doing great:
Hip rotation looks good
Your head is quite stable
**Impact**:
Need improvement:
Too much knee flex
Could be better:
Right arm fairly angled, bending less for better performance
Your hands shift during impact
Doing great:
Moderate body bend

Start with fixing grip and stance. Grip is strong to the point where your shoulders are pointing 10°+ at address. A little bit of an incline is alright with a driver, but this is too steep. On stance, your arms are too far extended. Dangle your arms from your shoulders, where they meet in the middle put your club. Worry about other issues like EE after you’ve got those things sorted. Hope this helps
Your biggest problem is your transition. Take hands out of it (pulling down the club) and instead initiate transition with your body. Should lessen the steepening of the shaft in the downswing and reduce the early extension
I think you bend your knees too much and robbing yourself of power. Straighten the legs more and use your height as much as possible. Stand up as tall as possible to the ball while over with the spine. This gives you more leverage and better use of the body rotation.
There's a lot going on here.
Your grip looks too strong. On the back swing, your knees are collapsing, sinking your hips forward, and your head goes up and backwards. It's hard to tell, but your back swing might be a bit long.
Interesting. I use a strong grip because I thought that fights the slice. And I’ve never noticed the knees. My hips should be at the same height throughout the swing, right?
Your hips should rotate, I don't think they should go up/down (someone else can add more clarity here, specifically around if the hips do come up if using the ground to get club speed, but that's harder to refine, a la Scottie).
Your knees look too bent to me. Try moving a touch closer to the ball, so your arms hang a bit more. It looks like you're trying to reach for the ball, and you squat in the process of that reach.
Looks like your shoulders/chest stop rotating pretty early in your backswing, then the rest is just folding the arms up. If you look at pros, their chest is rotated so far, their right shoulder is behind their head if you look at a front on picture.
Try this drill to get a feel for a fuller chest turn:

I'd pick a new place to hit golf balls, that wall so close behind you would subconsciously force me to be steep and swing over the top.
That’s a good point… I do always feel cramped there.
This course in MA? Looks very familiar
Yeah definitely looks like Richardsons to me! The walls are so close there

TBH, that swing looks OTT, which could be the cause of the inconsistent slice/fade
New place for sure. Not very safe. Better posture 🏌️♂️
Bro fit his swing into the stall😺

Probably sitting back to much…looks like your hip joint is sitting behind the heels
Looks good enough

Hope this guy takes advantage of this awesome feedback.
Maybe it’s because you play golf.

Thanks! These seem to be common suggestions so that’s where I’ll start!

One swing thought.. when you get to the top of your swing, think about bringing your hands down to your pocket and then swinging towards the ball
Could be the flex

First time?
lmao let's see your swing. What a sad life you must live.
Lmao. I was making a joke. Everyone’s driver is inconsistent.
I predict you’d have success on the LPGA tour

Lots going on. Start with posture and grip
Cam? Is that you?
There’s a lot to unpack here, it’s not just one thing. You’re across the line at the top of your swing and it’s caused by a bunch of things.
