Better than me!
Looks very good.
Excellent on both
Compare your hands at the moment of impact compared to the pros.
You are not compressing and delofting like they do.
I’m working on the same thing at the moment, when you get it the sound of impact is amazing and completely different.
Great camera angles. There’s some good stuff in there, but also some major issues you should fix.
Setup: ball looks lined up closer to the heel than center. Grip is too strong and is affecting your swing (mentioned later). For irons you should have a little shaft lean – have your hands just in front of the ball rather than in line with it looking down. This also effectively shuts the face, so you might need to adjust the lie of the club.
Takeaway: bc of your strong grip, you have a bit of an inside takeaway. Fix the grip first then work on keeping the club head in front of you longer instead of pulling it back behind u right away.

The reason this is important is bc your current swing gets to the top very horizontally and then inertia will move the club head to want to come down vertically in the downswing (steep).
Backswing: After the takeaway is fixed, you need to learn to bring the club up vertically by hinging your wrists, with the thumbs feeling like they’re pointing straight up. You currently get the club up the last 20% by shifting your weight to your left foot and reverse pivoting. During the backswing, you weight should be on your right foot, and then in transition at the top, you should shift to your left foot. You currently shift to the left foot too soon. This is likely a compensation to get the club up more vertically bc you’re not including the wrist hinge in the backswing. Again the strong grip makes this harder.
The rest of the swing may change with the setup, takeaway, and backswing fixes, so I won’t comment too much on what to work on there. You’re currently stuck in the downswing and flipping thru impact, which is a consequence/compensation from the aforementioned issues.
Good swing man. I wouldn’t focus too much on anything. Just go grind it out and you’ll be fine
Why not hit some into that big field behind you lol
