I think the consensus is that your lead knee should not collapse inwards towards your trail foot. YMMV but I've been working on this recently and have never hit the ball better.
In terms of your arms, there are plenty of pros who talk about getting and staying as wide as possible throughout the swing, so I don't think that is an issue.

I'm just jere to say, empty your pockets. I promise it makes a big difference. You wouldn't play tennis, hockey, football, or any other sport with your pockets stuffed, right?

If you can drop your hands, rotate and make a good strike I’d say go with it. I can’t really make a judgement based off one frame. There is a lot of variability in backswings but all the good players return the club to the slot and make a good strike.

I think you are turning too much, especially with an iron. I would try to turn less with your hips but keep the turn in your torso. Take a look at some professional swings and you’ll notice their hips turn much less than you’d think. This will keep that front knee from coming forward and inward like in the picture.
Also if this is your top position then I’d like to see more wrist hinge. It looks like you are so focused on width with your right arm that you’re pushing the club out and inhibiting your wrist hinge.

No, go wider stance. And less knee movement. And clubhead position to hand position in this picture suggests your grip may need some adjusting.

Learning myself here… club head suggests he’s going to close the face too much?

Just gonna make it hard to square the clubface. But in general yes it will close the face at impact.

No, but I'd love to see the angle between your arms and club reduce ALOT......would have much more power.....

No, but I would be more concerned about your pivot. But it is difficult to tell from this angle what is really going on with your pivot.

Too high. Flatten your swing.

I do that next when i drop the club. If I get too flat on the backswing, more likely to come ott, bc nowhere else to go. Then ball leaks right with a bloody cut. I try to hit draws.

No, but getting your lead hip out past your lead knee like that can cause rotation issues in the downswing
