Throwing away angles (Swing Posting)

Am I losing my angles simply because of a steep shaft?

I'm no coach - but there is so much going on there with the moving the club back, footwork, that I'm not sure where someone would start.  With all the love I can muster, my suggestion is forget the YouTube and other stuff you've mentioned in other posts and find a compatible, quality coach and get down to or back to basics!  I think you are holding yourself back by thinking you can train yourself and I don't think you can "fix" this yourself via internet.  You'll enjoy the game more, I'm guessing.

You lose your angles for a multiple reasons.    Main reason is that you create very poor angles in your backswing and your sequence is poor.

 

Don't know if what you posted is how you swing or a drill - assume it is your swing.

 

Too bent over at setup then stand up during backswing with too little depth.     Backswing pivot is really poor and arm structure is too.      With your elbows too bent at top of backswing and poor sequencing leads to your casting - your lower body gets too far in front of your upper body.

 

You need to find a good instructor and take lessons the first of which should focus on concepts (cause I have to believe you have some faulty concepts of what a swing involves) and setup. 

 

Standing up with collapsed arms

 

Body out of sequence where hips are rotated too much ahead of upper body and with poor arm structure arms are cast out in response.

First things first , please post a closeup of your left hand grip and then a closeup of both hands on the grip.

Initially, your setup looks like a disaster , but when you bring the club closer to your body to do your drill, your stance is not bad , just a little too much bent over. So the first suggestion is to set up closer to the ball ,more akin to when you do your drill.

Forget about hitting balls or going to the range  or even using a club. You need to work on isolating your pivot.

You can do by placing your hands on opposite shoulders and practicing your pivot going back and turning through . Do this in front of a mirror and then post this drill.
