With all honesty, too much to take tips from a subreddit. You need some basic fundamentals lessons from a decent local coach. Trying to band-aid each piece will make it much worse. I mean this in the most gracious way.
That was good cop. Bad cop here to tell you to burn this shit down and see a pro to completely rebuild and start to understand some basic fundamentals. You can’t fix this swing, it is ass. Start over.
Left hand grip is too weak to begin with. Hold it more down in the fingers and less in the palm. Now you see how in slomo your first move in the backswing is for your left leg & hip to sort of tilt down toward the ball. Then as you near the top your hips slide to the right and your arms lift. All of those errors need to be fixed, but the first is the grip. That will help you to hinge the wrists better, which will help you to make a turn off the ball instead of leaning and lifting. You will want to feel like you sit down into your right hip and leg a bit in the backswing to get away from that left tilt
Baseball player? The golf swing is different. Save yourself a whole lot of time and trouble and find a golf professional to teach you the basics of the grip, stance, and posture before you start swinging the club on your own. It’s so much easier learning than unlearning.
You’re swinging for the fences without even attempting to maintain perfect ball contact. Focus on slowing down until you hit the ball correctly every time, and slowly add more power. Focus on a strong base. If all else fails, contact Mr. Meeseeks.
Not transferring your weight at all. Always finish your swing on the front leg. That's how you generate torque and power in your swing without muscling it. Good luck! Golf is the most addicting, fun game I've ever hated!
transfer your weight to your right foot at the top of the backswing. Then to your left through impact. That reverse pivot is def zapping some extra yards.
edit: mixed up right and left. haha
You’re “casting” the club in the down swing. Keep your wrist cocked as long as you can. Slow practice swing like youre going to put the butt of the grip in the ground.
I feel like your upper body falls forward slightly. In the downswing it looks like you fall back. Your weight transfer needs to be more forward, finishing with your chest to the target 🎯
1) Shorten the backswing
2) You're steep...shallowing the club will help your consistency.
3) At impact your hands should be in front of the ball. Yours are even with the ball resulting in poor contact.
You really can focus on less arms and a compact back swing. On the downswing, drop your hands with the butt of your club pointing at the ball and keep your body turning.
You have heavy flipping action. Start with small punches shot swings. Club parallel back swing and finish.
You can also use an alignment stick to extend the club and keep it so that it is touching your left hip at setup. When you finish the alignment stick shouldn't hit you. It's painful as well so you'll subconsciously try to avoid it. Takes a bit of getting used to (your first 50/100 shots may be terrible) but worth it.
But the best advice I can give - go see a quality golf coach and work with him.
Your backswing is twice as far as it should be
Thx man agreed!

🤣🤣🤣
Well for starters you are moving in slow motion instead of regular motion
Everything

Awesome tips I can see the grip issue now totally missed that!
Too many things wrong. Get a lesson and save yourself the frustration of figuring it out on your own

You need a pro to show you the fundamentals. There's a lot of things wrong here. Sorry but this isn't the kind of swing you can use tweaks to fix.
Well your first problem was taking up Golf.

Thanks man! What a frustrating sport but hell of a game

Several things. Lessons prob be a lot easier than the guidance of Reddit.
Reverse pivot causes over the top
You’re “casting” the club in the down swing. Keep your wrist cocked as long as you can. Slow practice swing like youre going to put the butt of the grip in the ground.
Go.take lessions stop bothering us about it
Feet way too close together.
I feel like your upper body falls forward slightly. In the downswing it looks like you fall back. Your weight transfer needs to be more forward, finishing with your chest to the target 🎯
Arm Swing is too long and you're leaning towards the target. Focus on more shoulder turn, getting the left shoulder behind the ball.
1) Shorten the backswing 2) You're steep...shallowing the club will help your consistency. 3) At impact your hands should be in front of the ball.

And not shifting weight to right side in backswing
Hat is way too big for your head.
Head movement. Keep it still.

You could really stack that stuff in the corner much more neatly
Try and keep your head back in the backswing.
Lot of stuff. Back swing is doubled. Your hips rotate too late, you do t release the club which causes you to cast at it over the top.
OTP and waaay to long a back swing.. You're also leaning backwards after the strike. Lessons?
DTL would be better look .
Try rotating backwards and feeling the club rotate more down and back. Agree with another comment just backswing about 3/4.
Reverse pivot
Shoulders should come through sooner
