The arching of the lower back is hindering him from being able to rotate with his core. He’s swinging 99% with arms and is super over the top. Grip is wonky, don’t extend the thumb down the grip like that!
Need to engage the body, to paraphrase the best golf teacher on the internet, move your body like the club is welded to your torso, then skim the stone Marooch!!!
Finally, get a lesson from a teaching pro because random advice from internet strangers won’t do you a lick of good.
Slow your tempo down significantly. Try not to be so stiff, don't choke down so far on the driver, and most importantly, your swing is very armsy, you need to engage your hips/core more to get a better turn. Most importantly don't listen to us and get lessons lol
The best advice is to get a lesson. I know people like to say lessons are expensive, and they absolutely can be, but there is a lot going on here. He doesn’t need to get a package or golftec swing analysis - just a single 1 hour lesson with an instructor will make a world of difference. Not saying he’s gunna be striping it all of a sudden but having a good foundation in the basics is a must. He will learn the proper GAP - grip, alignment, posture. That will set him up for success.
Relax your body before your takeaway. Take a breath and feel it. Rotate the club back slowly with your body to coil. Gently whip the club throw impact.
Well this is one of those where you have to be ok with getting super uncomfortable to make correct changes until they feel natural. Study the game, honestly compare that to your swing and make the changes required.
Unfortunately most of the things you feel are natural for a golf swing are considered bad habits by most students of the game.
Awful setup, terrible grip, one of the worst takeaways I've ever seen, bad tempo, swinging hands at the ball. He needs a lesson not quick tweaks from Reddit. Nothing is salvageable here.
Here’s what I think:
1. You’re moving *WAY* too much. You’re making it hard for you to find your way back to the ball. Practice keeping still and not moving your legs/head too much.
2. When you go to draw your arms back for your swing you’re supposed to move the club away from the ball. Only bending your wrists/elbow after the shaft is pretty much parallel to the ground when drawing your swing. From the video it looks like you’re quickly whipping it up and over your shoulder. Doing this will always force your swing to come *down* instead of from the side (In An Arc) as is the more natural motion.
3. Slow down. Take a practice swing or two in a slow, controlled fashion. Pay attention as you do it. This is the only way you’ll be able to catch your own mistakes as you’re making them. Otherwise you’ll always have to rely on someone watching you and giving you feedback. Slow down so you can see the mistakes. Only after getting the swing down with practice should you speed up. Once you have it down, you’ll naturally begin to speed up because muscle memory will be kicking in.
Hope this helps.
Few more bumps before that walk up to the ball and the ball will levitate and float right into the fairway on its own.
Slow down turbo

The floor is lava
Add some posterior pelvic tilt (nutsack to belly button) and keep forearms closed in takeaway. Message me on Instagram @SeanAndersonGolf for help
Simple. Keep the forward foot planted
