You rotate your wrists immediately on your backswing.

Wrists. You roll them open and never close them. That said you also don’t really set them. Maybe if you set them (bigger cock) you will close them too? On another note you are also on the wrong side of the ball.

A little out to in path, but close to a pretty good swing. There are probably some subtle adjustments to weight shift, grip, or setup that you need to make in order to get better contact.

Start with the basics. Your shoulders are aimed to the right. This is often due to a golf grip that is too weak. So make sure the Vs between your index finger and thumb are pointed to your left shoulder and not to your nose or even worse, your right shoulder. So check grip and close your shoulders.
Within the swing itself, your hands move away from your body in the takeaway and the underside of your left forearms rolls open. In other words, the underside of your left forearm points to the sky during the takeaway and this messes up your backswing.
I’m 90% confident your right hand grip needs to be more in the fingers because the grip position looks like its going through the palm of your right hand at the top of the backswing.
So for me. 1. Work on a better more neutral grip 2. Get your shoulders more closed to the target at addeess. 3. Work on some takeaway drills of moving your hands in more (towards your left foot). And keeping the clubhead outside your hands. Stick a tee in the butt if your grip and have the tee pointing inside your body line longer during the entire takeaway. Then lift the club like you do. Hopefully that gets your hands deeper too.
Just know that if your grip is faulty then every other change you make will be only temporary unless you get a proper matchup for the faulty grip. Right now you’re probably gripping the club in a way that almost pre determines a left ball flight.

Looks like your swing will be completely fine as long as you try to keep your face more shut on the way back and through. Your path is great. My feel for this which fixed my slice and it hasn’t come back in 3 years so far was to feel like my glove logo points at the ground for as long as possible through out the whole swing. Easiest feel to have in the world. Thank me later!

You’re standing too close to the ball, which makes you come across the ball cause its heavily outside in

Also I’d get an assessment of how well your body actually works in relation to what is required to swing a golf club. Then work on strengthening the weak points. It will save you thousands of dollars and years of frustration.

You’re turning your arms forward and down which is going to lead to an out-to-in swing path. Often met with shanks and mega fades. I’m not a pro, so get a lesson before you take what I say seriously

I see your hips are all the way through before you even hit the ball

Hey we’re in the chicken wing club together! Allowing your forearms away from your body creates rotation in the backswing.

Early hinge release maybe a slight over the top but not much. Biggest thing I’d say is keep that lead wrist hinges a little longer. More lag

You are rolling your wrist in your back swing as others have mentioned. Don’t roll your wrist, feel like you are swinging out (not in).
Then it bent more left because you were a bit wipey across the ball. Try and swing more toward left field. Or feel like you’re finishing through the ball.

What course is this?

Face is open. Need to work on club face awareness. I use the position of my thumb to feel me close/square up the face on impact. Changed my game learning this.

Thanks everyone! Got a lesson lined up for next Friday! Frustrating day on the course today!

Shorten your backswing.

So, i purposefully either fade or draw my driver every time. This was borne out of a similar issue to yours. What i call it is double blocking.
If im trying to hit a fade, i take the club back a little out so when my muscle memory kicks in during downswing, the club comes back in and that out to in imparts sidespin to generate the fade.
If my muscle memory doesnt kick in or my timing is off, i hit that exact shot you hit. The clubhead never comes back square and i block it.
You have the opposite issue. Your swing is in to out and stays out at impact causing your clubface to open.
Two options:
1.) stand closer to ball.
2.) think about taking the club out away from you in your backswing

Grip might be off which creates the open face on connection.
Also, you need to bring the shaft/club up higher as opposed to around the circumference of your body
One or two sessions with a pro and a few days a the range would fix this
You’re standing on the wrong side of the ball!

This about your face angle at impact.
So it started left.
Then it bent more left because you were a bit wipey across the ball. Try and swing more toward left field. Or feel like you’re finishing through the ball.
