Welcome to the site @henrymelolima

Thanks for posting.

A face on video will help too. First, check out the thread below. The Five Simple Keys are not a swing method, but are the common keys that all good swings have.  The first two, Key 1 -Steady Head and Key 2 - Weight Forward at Impact are the most important to attain for a new golfer.

If you look at your video, your head drops quite a bit on the back swing. Also, your weight is not shifting forward enough on the downswing. This is very common and many of us had similar issues.  Check out the videos in the post below. This is a good starting point.

The best way to practice is described in the thread below. Try and focus on correcting one thing at a time. Start with Steady Head .

Lastly, to help out both key 1 and 2, flare your feet a bit at address to start.

Best of luck and please post update videos. And check out the rest of the site. There are plenty of other topics we'd like to hear your opinion on.

You've got a crazy strong grip (at least with the right hand) that leads to a weird action of your right arm.  Check out:

my posture comes from when I used to lift all the time, was always worried about having poor posture when squatting. My back just doesn't curve anymore, I don't know how to do it. I just tried to do it in the mirror and couldn't, I'll keep working on it lol. Thank you. I've practiced my grip and will try it out soon.
