I have and still struggle with getting the transition and sequencing right. With my mistake still being gunning the hands from the top and getting steep. Honestly your hand path from the top and club angle at ~A5 look good to me (not that I'm a golf coach...). But I also began my journey trying to learn to drop the hands and shallow the club trying to force it manually. In your case, pushing hands behind you and straightening rear arm from the top. One thing that's really been helping me is working on sequencing and the lower body. Given your sequencing from the top and how you're weight isn't very forward and hips are barely open at all at impact I figure there might be some value here somewhere. I've had success thinking of the time from ~A4 to ~A6 as getting everything into position to then whip the club head through the ball. Letting the swing develop so to speak instead of starting hitting at the ball from the top. As an ex-pitcher using the pitching analogy has helped me a lot. You can think of the moment where the pitcher's front foot hits the ground (or maybe really just before) as the top off the back swing. Try to imagine from that point the pitcher rushing their hand forward at the same time and rate as they're opening their hips. It would look insane! And be much weaker and less accurate. The pitcher lets their arm kind of float as they open their hips and then their chest and then from that loaded/twisted position they throw through with their arm. I've tried to use that as a way to key in on the feel of letting the arms "float" (obviously they're physically active, I'm talking feel) into the right position from the top while they wait for the hips and chest to load up to get into position to flow through actively from ~A6. The other way that's worked for me is to get into proper impact position (weight more forward and hips much more open than you've got right now) and then do flowing back and forth swings with the hands coming back to about waist high. Then when doing a full swing, concentrate on not rushing and just flowing your body from the top to that hands at the waist position and letting power flow from there through the unwinding and push from the hands. Your mileage may vary of course. I just know how hard it can be to go from a great backswing like you've got through the transition to the down swing you know you can do and can give more consistent results. So I thought I'd throw out thoughts/feels that have been working for me. -

A couple guys I play with played it last year, and enjoyed it. Said it was a fun course, in pretty good shape, and the price was good. -

Looks like 3 albatrosses in a row. The guy should have suspected something was up when he made the second one. -

I'm not watching the show, I did not like the last season at all, but heard about the scene and hey, it's already on YouTube. He makes what looks like two albatrosses in a row with a not great looking swing (that's fine, can't expect all actors to be athletic). Dunno what course this is. Western US somewhere? -

87 at Minnesott today (43 front / 44 back). Played the front solo (course was super busy so it was a lot of start - stop “, never a flow). Only one dbl one the front with five bogies and three pars. At the turn a couple guys ahead were waiting for the newbie foursome to get down the fairway. Asked if I wanted to join, figured why not at least I will have someone to chat with. Played the back pretty consistent as well with only one dbl with six bogies and two pars. Would have been identical if not for the pole rattle dead center putt on 18. Had a total of 4 GIR and 7nGIR. Putting a little better with 34 total putts. Three of the pars were up and downs. Best part of the round was making a couple of new friends.
