No coil in the back swing, you seem to be picking the club up and taking it to the parallel position. Its a very armsy swing with no real rotation.

The quality makes analysis difficult. Face on would be nice and more light.

Sorry I can't really be specific here so I can't/won't give corrective suggestions.

You have no weight transfer and probably no distance as well. Your right elbow needs to stay closer to the body to keep from going over the top causing your slice. I would read "Five fundamentals of Golf" by Hogan just to get started on the correct process of the golf swing. Transferring your (weight) hips toward your target first is a good start. Your arms come thru the ball first and then your weight slightly transfers. Topping usually results from not keeping your head down during contact. The first video showed too much back swing but the second was not considered a full back swing IMHO but a shorter back swing should allow you more control until you get the process down.

I agree with Valleygolfer.  Hogan's book is a good start, and will compliment the athleticism and flexibility you've got.  Getting your weight to move toward the target during the downswing will be a game-changer for you.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
