Just got a replacement tripod so I thought I would look at my swing. This is a caddy view of a wedge:

 

I don't like how I have a lot of weight on the lead leg. I also seem stiff on the start of the downswing and my sequence probably needs to initiate more with the lower body to generate more lag.

Here is a down the line with an 8 iron. This view tends to hide the flaws better I think. I might start a bit with the shoulders being a bit over the top.

Can be fine for a wedge.

Thinking about those videos: Have my hips stalled? Shouldn't they be more open at impact?

Yes. They’re not going to rotate very well with your lead knee flexed like that.

They likely stall because they have to in order for you to be able to hit the ball.

The issue is probably long before these photos.

Maybe coming in OTT/too steep? These are screen shots of the previous videos above.
