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.

      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.
