Your Backswing is Going the Wrong Way on a One-Way Street.
the roast
You look like you're bowing to the target on your backswing. Most people save that for after they sink the putt. You've successfully invented the 'pre-apology' pivot, where you start apologizing for the slice before you've even hit the ball.
what you did right
Full marks for commitment. You went for it with the confidence of a lottery winner buying a yacht. No hesitation, just pure, unadulterated sending it. That's a great foundation to build on.
the fix
severity 4/5 · 90% conf
The root of the issue is a 'reverse pivot.' Instead of loading weight onto your trail leg in the backswing, you're leaning toward the target. To fix this, feel your lead shoulder turn behind the ball while your weight shifts onto your trail foot. Think about coiling your upper body over a stable right leg, like winding up a spring.

one thing to try today
As you take the club back, feel the pressure build under your trail foot. That's it. Get your weight back before you can go forward.
