Pretty hard to drive the legs when you're that far from the ball.
If you can, adjust your driver to an upright setting, choke up a bit, stand closer to the ball, and get the feel of pulling in the clubhead more. With a tucked elbow (recommended above) you should be able to get more drive.
I want you to think how differently you’d set up and use your body if the club was a sledgehammer. A big ole 15 pound sledgehammer.
You’d be way closer to the ball, and arms would hang naturally down at address.
Your core would be involved in your takeaway, hips, core, and shoulders rotating away as the arms followed last.
Downswing would reverse that, arms trailing behind as you now rotated from the hip into the downswing.
All very very different from what you just did.
Looks like you came right from the softball field lol. First off, you appear to be standing too far away. You are not in a very powerful looking stance. You want to have a solid base, and not feel like youre reaching. Fix your adress position and it should somewhat help your backswing… first things first; get yourself into a better position to hit the ball
I think youre bent over at the waist too much and standing too far away stand a little closer to the ball and more straight up and down rather than leaning over so much
Dude absolute first thing is make sure the shaft isn’t touching your back in the backswing ever — it looks like you’re close here and would wager it happens occasionally. You will snap your driver in half eventually if so.
You are standing too far away from the ball. Scoot in. Stand more upright, arms hanging straight down where if you dropped one off the club, your arm would just hang in the same place. More angle between the club and your forearms.
Now, think “in to out swing path”, rehearse it a little, and try it. At takeaway you’ll feel like you’re going to miss, then in transition you’ll think holy shit I’m going to crush this.
Bad. Almost everything from basic setup to swing is off. Setup should feel like you are sitting on the edge of a bar stool trying to impress the blonde next to you. Ie good poster and slightly leaning in.
Not bad. Could do with bigger muscles (shoulders and hips) turning more on backswing.
Can imagine your bad shots currently are curving to the right, a few toppy ones and some low but decently struck ones!

Looks like you've got that covered already bud
Damn, thought I had time to drop this zinger before anyone else. I was wrong.
Gonna have to set your alarm earlier for that my son
You guys are scrolling hard this morning.
With how far he is away from the ball, he's got just about everything covered.
Came here 4h late to say this..
Your swing is mainly wrist. Don’t cock the wrist so hard and use the body.

All arms and absolutely no athletism in your swing.
Home run!
center of your chest never rotates off the ball at address you are all arms
You're too far away from body, lack of shoulder turn, flat arm depth
The shoulder turn is a good starting point. The ball will travel a lot further

Setup setup setup. Most of the work of hitting driver is done in the setup.
100% I try to explain this to my friends who have improper setup. Good setup > good take away > makes it so much easier.
Looks like you are primed to take a dump!
I THOUGHT YOU WERE PRO MATERIAL - PRIME TO TAKE THE BIG DUMPS! ![gif](giphy|2IX5XUzHE6PUTVcBut|downsized)
Hey, atleast the club path looks fine.
Zesty
The good news is you have a lot of room for improvement. Start here https://youtu.be/qHeKCzLPbR0?si=M3TIUsqGPPaxtspp
99% arms

Open up the chest a bit more, no?

In need of better weight transfer

Standing way too close to the ball. You should need to be leaning over with your arms completely outstretched to reach the ball
Keep at it bro ❤️
Are you preparing to swing a golf club or take a poop?
Too far away from the ball. No extension on the backswing. No hip rotation away from the ball ball on the backswing. No weight transfer.
Too far from the ball and the wrists break too much, use your body to finish the back swing and get speed, not your wrists
You look like a down syndrome crab
Looks like you’re trying to hit an outside pitch into right field. Hard to get a lot of power when your arms are driving your swing.
From the school of Padraig Harrington: Full shoulder turn, 3/4 arm turn.
Bad. Almost everything from basic setup to swing is off. Setup should feel like you are sitting on the edge of a bar stool trying to impress the blonde next to you. Ie good poster and slightly leaning in.
SpeedgolfRob on instagram, marooch. You’re all jacked up
Your torso doesn't move at all. Your entire backswing is all arms and then your waist rotates through when you make contact.
Are you standing so far away because you’re scared of the ball?
My 4yr old knows how to use the ground in her swing better than you
Consider amputation?
Your feet are in a different zip code than your ball at setup.
Ya gotta snap load your power package
Hips first, then arms / hands.
Not a golf related comment but you look like my uncle steve
At least you hit it
Backswing could be more narrow
You're set up like the guy that hits that really long driver
Houston we have contact. That’s about it
It doesn’t look bad - but it looks like you went to the right

Lotta wrist hinge early
Zero shoulder turn, tuck your left shirt sleeve under your arm pit and keep it there TIGHT, that will make you turn with your shoulders not your arms.
Ok but first let’s go to the pants, go get real ones!
