The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: the sweep, trying to get solid contact with forward shaft lean

Welcome to the site. Can you film again and back the phone or camera up? It will help more if we can see your whole body and the club.

Yes I can next time I can get out to the range, the setup is at my house and because of the space limitations this all I have for now.

Here are some better views from the range tonight. I was pulling a lot of shots to the right and hitting a bunch fat. Towards the end of the session I was getting my hips around a bit quicker and keeping my arms more connected to my body. This seemed to help the pull and contact issues. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions I would love to hear any and all feedback.

Below is a screenshot of you at setup, A1, and top of backswing, A4. Notice how far back your head and hips have moved. This makes it difficult for you to move your weight far enough forward at impact to have an inside out swing path and may cause the pulls you described.

Check out the thread below. You can practice making a centered hip turn anywhere including in front of a mirror. What will happen is it will be easier for you to get your weight going forward from the top of your backswing toward impact.

 

There are other things that may correct themselves if you fix this part as well. Film your practice and work on it slowly at first as described in the thread below.

Thanks for the feedback @boogielicious I was just hitting some balls into the practice net trying to keep my hips centered. This made it easier to get my weight forward as you said. It also made my swing feel shorter, quicker and more compact. I will continue to work on this and upload some more swings as I get it down. Once again thank you for sharing your thoughts it is truly appreciated.
