I've been Playing Golf for: 5 years

My current handicap index or average score is: was a 13

My typical ball flight is: ?

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: ?


Videos:

My swing is essentially new so my ball flight is a bit inconsistent. i use to battle a hook, now some of my shots are fading

Ever since I began playing Ive had all of those issues, 3 weeks ago I decided to drastically change even if I had gotten to a 13 handicap
I struggled for 3 weeks to "feel"  my hands lower or coming in less steep. not sure if Im getting it.
For sure my swing is bottoming out more and I'm not just picking the golf ball clean.
I was also leaning back a lot before since i was trying to draw the ball so my upper body would lean.
Please help, don't be nice :)

Hi, welcome to the site. To start and shallow the shaft on the downswing I'd clean up this takeaway piece. Instead of the clubhead rolling open I'd work on feeling the club face point "down" during the takeaway.

That will lessen the amount the left wrist cups and help the shaft work more "up" on the backswing so it can shallow on the downswing.

Getting more weight forward would be the other piece to focus on to change the direction of the path/shaft.
