Hi and welcome to the site,

First up, well done for having the courage to upload a 'normal' swing rather than one that you've artificially forced straight. I'd recommend you get a face-on view as well to help others who are better qualified than me diagnose, but I'd say the main issue would be your weight transfer - you want a lot of weight on your front foot at impact and whilst it's hard to see without the face-on view (something like this:)

You'll notice that the best players all get their weight forward at impact - watch your swing at slow speeds and I bet that you aren't. Like I say, there are other people who are better at helping with swing stuff than I am, but I'd also point you in the direction of this thread, which does a great job of explaining what you might want to change as well as why it works:

Hope some of this helps, but definitely get the second view and look at it in slow motion as well.

Thank you for the help much appreciated !

Welcome @Keany! You have lots of good pieces in your swing. As @b101 said above you need to give a Face On version. It will help verify some assumptions. Without that though my eyes are first drawn to your backswing. Particularly how flat your shoulders are going back. This is probably a product of you not moving the shoulder down.

Grahame is swinging an iron and you a driver, but your shoulders are still too flat. The idea is to get your right shoulder down.
