Ok, some serious changes and thinking things look a little different.
Trying to set the wrists a little earlier and really take it up the correct plane with the RFT. I am getting it I think, its less outside to start and more on play. Trying to get it less shut at the top, think it is a little. Definitely seems like less throwaway? Also release is more left than before (maybe less layback?) Dare I say more lag, better impact? Ball flight was much more penetrating and lower, ball was not curving much at all.

Man, you've done some really good work!
What you feel is swinging more left is keeping the shaft dead on plane, just as you are doing on the backstroke. As Daryl said, very nice work on the right forearm, definitely some magic there. After a ton of seeking by both of us, I think were keeping it simple, a little driving, a little hitting with #1, using the right forearm the way Homer Kelley intended!
I'm LOVING it!!!

Remember the "Hands are just clamps". Dont cock the left hand with the hands. The left hand will cock on its own, if/when the right side of the triangle, the right arm shortens (right elbow bend). The thing about the left arm/shoulder push away, especially when the right side is stiff is that the triangle is maintained. No right side shortening. Often resulting in an outside startup, angled hinging or even a dead shut clubface, over rotation of the shoulders, a too steep shoulder plane etc etc. Not saying your doing all of this by any means. The golfer tending towards hand manipulation to get things back on Plane.
You'd take it back on line if you bent your right arm earlier, ideally accompanied with a little fanning and no left side push away. An RFT in other words. If there is no right elbow bend there is no Magic of the Right Forearm. Extensor Action helps in all of this. Its weird stuff but when you get it you'll never go back.
Make it a right sided game, even if you are swinging. You look like a good player, hope this helps. It took me 2 years to get the left side push away out of my game and I dont miss it at all. Id been doing it since I was 12 years old too. Somebody somewhere, dont remember who, gave me some advice about a One Piece Takeaway that I mistook to be a Left Side Pushaway with Two Stiff Arms. Man did that waste a lot of my time. Rock the Triangle is one way to attack putting maybe but not Major Basic Strokes. Ill never get those years back. Dont freeze your right elbow in Startup. Start with it soft and bent and on plane, with a little EA providing some structure, clear the right hip and then RFT baby. Thoughts about rolling or cocking will be a distant memory, after a little training.
Certainly a nice improvement in those last clips. One thing I see is that you are using right anchor, keeping your right knee very stable. That is a good thing if you had the flexibility to do it, but I think if you allow that right knee to straighten a 'little', you'll have more power potential. The focus on the right hip motion will take care of that for the most part (right hip 'back' over right heel).
Impact is better, but I see some breakdown of the left side through. As an experiment next time you are out at the range focus on a 'roll' - get the back of the left hand feeling like it points down to the ground through. Like you had your left hand on a motorcycle grip and rolled it forward as hard as you can on the downswing.
You'll hook the crap out of it at first, but you'll hear nicer compression and really be able to hit down.
As you get that feel, you can back off the roll (I don't want you over rolling or swiveling as your hinge). You may find a more neutral grip position helpful as well.
Another image that will really help is to focus on your finish position - really face the target with your torso (turning the left foot open a bit will help). In the clips, your pivot stops turning through at impact, getting your chest facing the target will really help keep that pivot moving.
Very nice work on the backswing, as you develop the turn feel back, you'll get the roll feel through. toe up to toe up, keep that pivot moving!

You must prepare (at Top) to roll your flat left wrist, on the line. With a strong left hand grip flat means "geometrically flat" rather than literally flat. Hit the search function for clarification if you need to. Once achieved Lynn said we "will go immediately to the next level".
There is no other way to get there perhaps. So trade a bending left wrist for a flat rolling, on line, one. Grab some dowels and try it out.
The bending left hand can often be fixed with a better understanding of the on line uncocking of the left hand I find. The plane of the left wrist cock and uncock again. It all relates.
Your Right Arm motion looks much better as it Turns during the Backswing and Rolls during the Downswing. Do you sense that it's the correct motion?
Are you a Hitter or a Swinger?
Its weird Daryl, I don't feel an active pull with my left arm, but I don't feel like I push with the right, its I guess I am a switter? If anything I do think there is more right hand right side to the feeling of the motion I am making.

That swing sequence is so good....and it looks so very simple.

Yea, I am overdoing the cocking motion with my hands to try and introduce left wrist cocking into my swing, honestly I dont think I have done it for a long time.
The bending of the right arm and the pivot, getting rid of that left side push is going to be key. How many swings have been ruined by hearing you need to get that full extension with your arms going back? Totally agree with that one piece takeaway, I think its misunderstood a bit.
I am going to work on that bending of the right arm now that I have a better grasp. I will say for me it seems like its very key that the right him moves straight back, maybe even a little back and forward in order to give myself the room I need.
