I'm trying to work on actually posting my lead leg and having trouble, it was my main swing thought this entire swing.
This session while i was working on it I was actually topping the ball from time to time, no idea why. I tried catching it on video and got this instead ( it was a clean hit ) , which is why i was annoyed.
Also have a tendency to push the ball currently.
Any tips to post that lead leg and not bend my knee forward very welcome, and if you see anything else I need to work on i'm all ears, I haven't really played at all in last 20 years and have a lot of bad habits from teenage years I didn't know I was doing wrong.

Could move the ball back a couple of inches in your stance, shaft lean is nearly vertical at address. Swing looks good to me.
Everything is fine. Narrow your stance.
Great swing by the way. I would think of the pivot as a smooth pivot like Michael Jackson. It’s a smooth transition from your trail to lead. Hips start, arms and club fall, then there is a small little smooth lower body pivot with your chest rotating through. Just an efficient smooth pivot. Throwing your whole lower body isn’t an athletic move and moves your center around. Think less is more here.
Dude, your hips don’t turn at all in the back swing. The lead knee should bend, actually, but your trail leg should be extending so that it can bump you forward before your body turn finishes.
The pushes mostly mean you need to work on timing your face closure rate.
That is pretty good. Keep your arms together, they are separating at the top and the trail elbow is behind the hip at impact. This effectively shortens the club (the occasional top). Think about holding a tennis ball between your forearms thru the whole swing. Good luck!
You’ve so little hip rotation in the backswing.
But each their own, if you have a consistent shot shape, then play to it. Focus more on game management and short game
Narrow your stance will make it easier.
From what I see from 1 clip from 1 angle, you need a more athletic position at set up. More bend in your knees, your butt out. If you have heard the “As you start to sit into a chair…”, ot is true.
I love that you are working on your finish position. Something most people never due. You want to feedback on weather you made a good swing or not. Unfortunately, or imo fortunately, your poor pose tells you, you have a problem with your swing. It is not getting to that position itself.
Imo you need to work on your posture and balance. A more athletic position does that. I view my lower body as a platform my upper body swings around. My legs are two posts that I never let my weight get outside of.
The reason you are not reaching the finish position you desire is poor weight transfer. You need to learn to properly load your weight on your back leg, then transfer it forward. To do that, learn what a good coil feels like how you already did with your finishing pose. Do it without a club just to understand what it should feel like.
Then once you know the feeling off how you should feel over each post, each leg. It is about linking them with a good weight transfer.
Any comments such telling you to fix something above is just a compensating move to try to correct another wrong. People try to use 2 wrongs make a right in golf. I always look to remove compensating moves simply by understanding and following good basic fundamentals. If the foundation is weak or shakwy, everything above will be also.
What are all those wrist waggles doing for you?
How old are you. You swing like my grandpa. Just sayin.
I would shorten the stance to shoulder width. If you need to sway you are too wide to pivot
Yea a bit. Knee gets outside your ankle pretty quickly. I’d get more of that force pushing away from the ball earlier.
Jeans on is crazy lol
i don’t see any concerning hip sway. narrow your stance. and try to feel like your hands are pushed far away from your body at the top of the swing. arm structure is a little too narrow.
