how far do you hit the ball?
it seems like your casting a little if you look at frame 75-80 you can see that your hands arent leading the club into impact. you can see it best in frame 79 that it looks like your club is already released and your wrists are unhinged causing your true release to be at about 7 o'clock. if you could keep your wrists hinged for litterally a millisecond longer you could possibly gain about 10 yards.
your lower body movement looks good, it seems like your making the shift right through impact.

other than that this swing looks much more controlled than the first few.

im no teaching pro so thats just my 2 cents.

The clubhead gets too far inside your hands because you're rolling your forearms on the takeaway, then your right elbow gets way too far away from your body as you lift the shaft up to the point where it's across the line and above your neck. You re-route the shaft about four times.

I don't think you'll find any pros who swing as upright as you.

And it's still a swing without a ball, so... it's still just a practice swing.

Actually, if you stop motion on the video I think he is in some some very nice positions. Good position at the top. Nice coming into the hitting area with the right elbow at his side. Stays behind the ball very nicely. Nice little reverse "C". Excellent release on the follow through. I can see where you could be a formidible player.

it's hard to tell without seeing you hit a ball but the swing looks pretty good. i like the fact that you swing pretty "hard". the only thing that looked a little off is you swing a little steep. when you release to the finish, you don't quite keep that right shoulder down and through but it's only by a fraction. if you get that plane a tad flatter and tilt your spine just a little bit you can probably get that right shoulder down and through better. overall i like your swing, keep the slight draw shot. it's more controllable and easier to hit.

You take a mighty hack at the ball. On the side view, looks like you address towards your back foot but bottom out towards your front. But obviously it works for you if you're a scratch golfer. I'd be hesitant to give you any real advice since I'm a 7 handicap.

I'm in no place to give instruction, but I am in a place where I can say that your golf swing can be totally different when there is that little white ball staring at you from the ground.

You do put a very good move on the ball, that's for sure.

Couple things I notice...

-As you mentioned, your tempo does look a little quick.
-You also have a lot of weight shifted to your front foot at the top of the backswing.
-Your arms seem to initiate the downswing more so than the legs. At impact, your hips are not very open to the target because the legs are following the arms, not the other way around.

From the first view, I think if you turn a bit left, you should be able to knock a golfball that way for your next video. Many people's swings change when they actually hit a golf ball.

    • I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

    • Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.
    • If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there. 
    • This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
