Any thoughts or anything jumps out at you that I need to address? Thanks for watching!

;-)

Even though we can't see it, can tell the head is moving too far to your left. Need to have the right shoulder go down longer on the backswing. Check out this video

Would also recommend turning both feet out, will help you turn more and allow the right shoulder/right hip to work down more.

Posture still not there but I was working on not moving laterally backwards away from the ball and more forward weight transfer and more importantly hip toward the target.  I hit some pure shots today when I did it correct and wow it feels so good it feels like hitting butter or not hitting a golf ball at all.  Any tips?

It's tough to say but your grip looks really palmy.

Keep those hips turning so they don't move back.

Yeah just make sure the heel pad of the right hand is "on top" of the grip. Not like the left pic.

Yes it's the same pic, difference is where the line is drawn. Blue line illustrates a palmy grip.

So it looks like im bunching up/bending lead arm just after impact instead of keeping it straight. Any drills to work on to keep front arm straight during and after impact till at least after club is pointing toward target?

The grip will help. Don't lose sight of your priorities, the things Erik and I have recommended will improve impact.

so I took some pics of my grip...took my regular grip then removed one hand and tried to get different angles...took my regular grip and removed the other hand and tried to get some angles on that one....then took regular grip and had wife snap two pics but angles are poor on those.  Not sure if this is palmy or not...I'm not sure what the heel pad is

I made another post because I figured the issue is with my right hand...first pic is after I saw a video on grip where I feel it more on my fingers and feel like my heel pad is over the club almost like my hand is OVER the club...second pic is my normal grip where Its still in my fingers but end of club finishes in between the heel pad and the thumb pad
