Can’t seem to get my carry past 225. I feel like my swing speed is good enough but it’s not translating to distance. Started playing this summer (4-5 months).
Any advice is appreciated!

Remember you have legs. Use them and turn!!!
Per the other comment, use your legs and hips.
As far as “how” slow down. Fix your swing before trying for distance. Let the club do the work, stop trying to crush the ball and focus on contact, full rotation and follow through.
What launch monitor is that?
Need a stronger grip
Looks like you were almost all arms and fading back. You were too much on the balls of your feet. Just watch them in the video. Def use your body and legs more. You will get more distance for sure
You’re spinning rather than rotating thru it so loss of power expected. I’m guessing your weight shift needs to get more forward, you end the swing with his heels digging in.
Tbh, you’re better off asking chatGPT
Bro if you used your legs, you’d be getting at least 275
Keep turning your hips through impact
Sit down into your feet on the down swing before uncoiling the shoulders then finish strong and tall into your left side.
Your swing is very upper body dominant. All arms. I get the point you make about engaging the lower body can throw off your swing path but it’s the only way to get more distance. Check you weight distribution at the finish of your swing. It seems to be mostly on your back foot. Should be on the front foot to transfer weight down and through contact. Will add distance. Slow down your swing. Make good contact. Transfer weight to left foot and you will hit it just as far if not further with less effort.
Just be happy with 250 and all your problems are solved
Stance is too wide so you cant rotate into your trail hip. Narrow the stance to slightly wider than your shoulder width. At the top of your backswing, before your downswing, you need to shift the weight from your trail heel to your lead heel then start the rotation an downswing. You want your hips to be square to the target as you finish. Your trail heel needs to come up and rotate as your swing
Not sure how you fix it but your swing appears too stiff. Try to loosen up a bit.
Put your feet together touching then swing. Best drill ever.
