Simple issue, difficult fix. You lose your leg to spine angle in your downswing. You can see it very simply in the video if you put your cursor arrow right on your butt at the far left edge. Run the video with the cursor there and watch what happens going into impact and after. All of a sudden there is a large space between the cursor and your butt or left hip if you move all the way to the finish. Compare that to any PGA pro down the line swing video and you will see they never move their butt off that initial spot and finish with the left hip covering that same spot. They keep that spine angle through the entire movement and that is so important for consistency.

Practice leaning with your butt just up against the back of a chair, or stool, or your golf bag if you have a stand bag and work on swinging and hitting shots while making continuous contact with that surface. Don't let the hips thrust towards the ball. Or practice without a club with your butt against a wall, and make half practice swings again keeping contact with the wall. Keep taking video, so you can monitor progress.

It's a good looking swing, get this fixed and look out.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
