Open club face at impact?
exq1mc
There is definitely an extension when you hit the ball. Time to get the foot powder spray for starters , dry shampoo also works. In your set up get comfortable with your swing you seem to be hitting this up instead of hitting down into the ball your left leg does not lie.
So 1 swing path if you take a slo mo video from straight on you should be able to see the whole swing path as a circle
It is not a shot put, your swing and release aka left leg should remain nice and stable , hip rotation does not mean swing like a sand filled sock , more like the club should be an extension of you on its way with a full arc and the ball just happens to be there.
Lastly check grip and set up. Set up should be even and stable no leaning back during the bottom out of the shot.
Happy fairway hunting

Without seeing all the angles, you are likely outside/in, or coming over the top; most common mistake
scottiedagolfmachine
Need down the line view.
But it seems like you’re aimed that way and the face pointed that way at impact.
Particular-Loan5123
Stance looks good, hand placement fine . Must be a baseball player you going over the top. Gotta keep that right elbow near your right pocket
djmc252525
Because your face starts pointing right of where your body is. If you swing down your body path w an open face you get a slice
To feel the opposite angle your body way closed and keep your club face there and swing down your body line. You’ll hit a draw / hook
djmc252525
Also get your lead shoulder off your chin to start the downswing.

Im a rookie getting lessons, so take this with a pinch of salt.
(1) Swing path too vertical and (2) you stop rotating your shoulders at the top of your back swing and finish with your arms only
Both of these cause you to “push” slightly on your swing.
So: (1) when you swing down focus on your hands coming down between your eyeline and the ball, rather then dropping them to the floor. (2) work on flexibility so your trail shoulder can rotate to or past your centre line

Your feet are set to slice. They should be straight to your target
Dirty_Confusion
The angle is not very good but…..
It looks like you might be set up in an open stance and balls is travelling in the direction that you are aiming.
FinancialAide3383
Also the back of your left hand should be facing your target all the way through your downswing you keep it facing it in front of you up to the last second before impact echocardiogram leaves your club face open. Also your open stance most likely has you coming over the ball.
heyeverybody1
your right hand is pretty under the grip. it needs to sit more on top. you can see the impact of this if you slow down the video. on your downswing, we can see all of your bottom forearm. we should see more of the side of your inner right arm if that makes sense. try something like this: https://youtube.com/shorts/TA2NfDLi9ck?si=Ee7ymHUHH-qXcXud

You need a lesson to learn sequencing. Your body stops and your hands try to catch up. It brings you over the top and the only way to save it is to bail out to the right.
Talkshowhostt
Weight too far back
Feet and shoulders aligned left but swinging go the right
Prob grip too
NiceMyc
I learned recently (at least with my swing) any deviation right/left is just the Timing of the arms/club coming through vs when the body/hips rotate through. Here looks like hips and back knee are turning and coming through too early before club/arms

Clubface open at impact.

Does it start right of where you think you’re aimed and go more right with the fade / slice or does it start on target and curve right?
Buy-The-Dip-1979
First make sure you are aiming where you think you are. Put some alignment sticks or clubs or whatever next to the ball and set you clubface up with that, a second stick by your toes, this should be parallel to the other stick. Then check your posture so shoulders and hips are in line with your toes.
If it feels a bit off or weird, then it probably means you tend to setup and aim wrong to begin with.
Also that ball is very far forward in your stance for an iron. Your swing arc is moving left by that time so the ball will want to fade/slice.
If the ball starts right, then your club face is pointed to the right… And it does look like your body is setup more left than the club face.
slummybeef3k
i would think it doesn’t help that your stance is so wide open so you might be thinking that your aimed correctly and the ball is going right when in reality it’s going where your club face is aiming not your body, also hard to tell but club face still looked open at impact.
BickNickerson
The ball will go the way the club face is facing, you’re open
derilickion
Your shoulders look turned right at let up and that’s not helping
woziak99
You look like you’re set up to hit a cut , slice or fade and then add that to an open club on impact which may be caused by a weak grip.
You need a neutral grip, set your feet and shoulders square or slightly in an open draw position and your hip needs more rotation on the follow through.
However the main issue here is your using an iron with a driver set up and the ball is far too forward at the front of your stance like a Driver, your swing is not shallowing out to close the club and follow through, put the ball in the middle of your stance unless your using a long or mid iron like a 6 or 7 iron then one or two balls further forward depending on iron.
Here’s a tip, when you next go on the course next take a long look behind the Tee Box and just look at the direction the white or black tees are facing, it’s very rarely straight at your target line, more often than not it’s an opposite line and if you set you feet square, not in a fade or draw position you can sometimes hit a perfect straight shot and it ends up in a sand trap or the trees.
The tee box might be left but you might need to set up with opposite feet position with them pointing more right of the target line, just to hit the ball straight down the fairway.

Tookis1968
Drop your right foot back a shade, it’s a nice swing.
WooDaddy11
Your feet and body might not be aiming that way but the face seems to be. Very open stance will cause both of those.
chastity_BLT
Your stance is open at the start. The club face is going to be open at impact. Move your front foot up to be even with your back foot.
Traditional_Ad_6443
Can we get one from the back
opinions-only
When you step back with your lead foot to aim left, you’re more likely to hit the ball on the left side of the ball due to the swing path causing the ball to spin a lot, causing right drift. (Imagine kicking a soccer ball on the left middle, it’ll curve right).
Make sure your club is making contact through the middle of the ball. If hitting straight square your legs and bring the ball centered between your feet.
-am a beginner so I struggle with this too sometimes
Sullydotcom
Just start with the fact that your open stance is already inducing a fade….
Medical_Process1071
Hey everyone thank you for much for your help! Just posted another video from behind, don’t know why it wouldn’t let me just add a video to this post
Competitive_Test6697
Look at it on impact. Straight right 😆
Right foot is too far forward (as in toe to heel) bring it way back.
Body is turning way too early and youre trying to catch the club up.
Watch a few Dan Greive videos on short play to understand, grip and swing pace.
Sandbagmaster
Might think you’re aiming at the target but you’re actually aligned right of the target. Or you could simply be leaving the face open. It’s probably both. Aim left and learn to square the clubface. Try a “stronger” grip meaning the style of grip not how hard you’re holding the club. Many videos on YouTube about grip and alignment. Good luck
Remarkable-Layer4836
Don’t aim the ball, aim to the Target.
Bert_Skrrtz
Your club face is aimed right but your feet are aimed left.
Squatch1016
From what I see your feet aim way left of how your arms and club face are lined up so I’d start there
HechoEnUSA
Move your right foot back a bit. So it’s further back from your left foot. That helps me.
8amteetime
Well, it looks like you have an open stance relative to the target line. That helps create a fade. Other than that, the video angle doesn’t show the top of the swing.
