Train in Training

Your swing comes to you pretty naturally and you have great body action, checkout  how well you hold your depth indicated by the white line on your butt. Maintaining depth is important to the golf swing because it allows the club to work back in front of the body without the obstruction of the body. Golfers who struggle with this move lose their spine angle through impact clearly by your final frame you have maintained your spine angle which allows you to return the club dead on plane.





Setup
Your angles look good but what must change is your arms, they reach for the ball causing you to bring the club immediately inside during the takeaway and hooded (club face pointing down at the ground). Look how Hunter Mahan allows the arms to hang from off the shoulders his hands are over his toes and under his chin, your hands are a few inches ahead of your toes and under your eyes.  I would like to see your grip odds are your left hand is gripping the handle too much in palm.  




Takeaway
Changing the grip will have a huge effect on your takeaway allowing you to work the club up the plane line (yellow line). Your recoil through the ball is good, from the top of the swing you work down the plane line and through impact dead on plane, so focus on working up this line on the way back and you will see your consistency improve.


Drill
Practice taking the club back to waist high without bending your RIGHT elbow, continue to turn your upper body as you have been but don't let that right elbow bend.
