Getting rid of some bad habits (video for observations)

[JLP_GOLF]

Single digit but Really trying to clean up my swing lately to get a more predictable pattern and take the big miss out of play.  I fear left because I know it can creep up at any moment.  Can also hit big pushes when I EE and get very much towards the heel.  
 

here I’m trying to add or maintain hip depth and feel like I move away from the ball less.  Feel like it gives me room to have my arms come down in right space so I don’t stand up and flip.  Also trying to feel some separation to avoid the quick spin out.  as you can see in the follow through, my right foot  can get sloppy and over rotated.  
 

any and all thoughts were welcome.  I have thick skin.  Thank you!

No takers ?

Looks like you're on plane. Do a caddie view but in landscape mode, turn the camera sideways.

Based on these comments and the video i'd suggest keeping an eye on sequencing/weight shift, with this being a solid starting point.

It does look like you plant pretty deep back in your right heel in the backswing and in transition you're attempting to shift to your front side without really getting out/off that heel. This position is always "slower" in that you really can't get completely off your trail side when transitioning like this, you need that small recentering shift detailed in the video above with the feeling like you're getting off that trail foot sooner. That feeling of EE potential and your right side sort of "spinning out" towards the ball is a product of that incomplete weight shift, so targeting that feeling of getting 50/50 and more balanced as you reach the top of the backswing instead of trying to get there in transition is what I would focus on.

This makes sense… thanks for sharing your thoughts.  Will work on it!

You're a good poster and help a lot of people but if re-centering means your head and shoulders slide  back and forth I don't think that's such a good idea in terms of power and low point control. 

 

He's addressing the ball off his left side and hitting it off his right side. His head and shoulders don't move forward until P8 when the pulling force of the clubhead away from him pulls his head and right side into the finish. 

 

 

His shoulders make a tight turn like a spinning top. The faster a top spins the tighter it turns.
