Title says it all…
The Harlem Golf trotters are looking for you now.
Is that, uh, your real swing?

Yes indeed that is my real swing. I do hit some good shots but it’s usually 50/50 with the driver 
Any tips on how I can improve?

For starters, your head is moving a lot. If you drew a circle around your head before starting the swinging motion in this video, your head should not leave that circle throughout the whole swing. Practice stabilizing your head movement.
On that note, you also stand up quite a bit during the backswing, then you bend down to scoop up the ball on your follow through. Try limiting the up and down movement and you’ll find a bit more consistency.
Also might want to stand up a tiny bit more on your setup. The club looks a bit horizontal. You’ll want the handle of your club pointed right at your belt buckle when addressing the ball. If that means you have to stand a tad closer to the ball, that’s okay, try it out.

Sincere question here: are you sure you’re a righty? I’d swing this stiff if I tried to go lefty. If you’re a righty you need an oil can, tin man, don’t even hit balls, just try to get something way more fluid.
@Chen
Thank you sincerely for your genuine advice.
I sometimes whip a lot harder but I get worried I might get out of position and snap my driver on the ground.
I try to be rigid when I think about certain cues I saw online. I guess I should just loosen up.
I’m definitely right handed, there’s no question about it - Might not be a good golfer yet though.
@Blaise
Your hips look pretty good. I would work on torquing your body better by squaring your shoulder to the target.

@Blaise
I think about this link a lot. It’s a little more complicated than I remember and I mostly think about my hips and shoulder but I’d do something as simple as twist, shoulder, hips, and hands if I were you, just make that your mantra. Hope this helps a little.

Honestly, get lessons. There is so much going on here.
@Westley
Thanks for your advice, but I like the journey I am on at this stage. When I get a little more than a couple weeks in, I’ll consider lessons. The money isn’t worth it to me when I can get a lot of info for free online and can watch back footage. I’m sure I’ll make a lot of progress in the early days.

No way you hit 50% good shots with that monstrosity.

Don’t hit a 3 wood or hybrid or whatever else off of those high tees. Those are only for driver. Hit everything other than driver directly off the mat!! How has no one given you this advice yet??

Uhh don’t? I dunno there’s a lot there that’s wrong.
Stand like 2 inches closer to the ball. Then start focusing on fluid upswing motions. Hard for my layman brain to explain in any meaningful way.

Wdym looks just like DeChambeau.
This is going to blow up but not for the reason you think…
