Here's a still of my posture at impact. Thoughts?

Your hands aren't leading, and your weight is on your back foot.....that is all I can see wrong though.

It looks like the ball is in the air already, so its not really an impact postion. Its hard to tell.

IF that is impact then your posture is fine, but your position is terrible.

Care to elaborate? Is it as simple as "not getting through the ball" or are my driver woes more deeply seeded?

It could just be the angle... but your hands are way too far behind the club. Your hands should be leading with a nice lag for power.

Your chest is way behind the ball. It should stay on top of it and move through it after impact.

Your hips have not cleared nearly enough.

Both arms are bent at impact - not as much as Westwoods, but still hard to be consistent like that.

Need to see the video but it appears you won't be releasing the club through impact.

Because you are so far back on your right side, I assume you have a very inside swing path and normally push and slice the ball out to the right.

Not nearly enough lower body involvement. Get hips forward and at impact your hips should be opening up. Get those things right and it will fix some other things.

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface. 
    • That truly had me laughing. Thanks If anyone is interested Sun Day Red is live. I clicked on the hats, seem they are sold out. Shorts 130 bucks, shirts 120, everything seems to be sold out already, at least from what I clicked on. 130 for shorts, I'll pass.
