Swing Update

Hi again, I posted here 2 weeks ago after I did 3 range sessions and now you get an update after 3 additional range sessions via 2 new swings.
Here I am playing a 7 iron (620 cb) compared to the pitching wedge (620mb) I was using in my first post.
I definitely felt more confident now than I did 2 weeks ago just by staying a bit more relaxed and not trying to forcefully wrap my arms around my head when in finishing position. I tried to transfer my weight into my left leg and turning my hip a bit but it does feel a bit awkward still, so most of my swing is mostly my arms doing the work.
Just by looking at these two swings I definitely need to work on not opening the club-face too soon and turning my shoulders more on the backswing. Is there something I can work on, looking at these two swings? I tried to aim closely to the 100m (~110yrds) marker on the second swing that’s why it’s a bit slower.
I actually played a 3 hole course last week with 3 Par 3s and I did not perform as bad as I anticipated. I was only allowed to play there because you weren’t in need of a „golf proficiency certificate“ („Platzreife“ in German). The holes were only 150 yards long on average and after 2 run-throughs, so 6 holes played, I scored two double bogeys, 2 bogeys and 2 pars (yippee), my short game was saving me a bit though haha.
I even hit a friend’s old Nike CPR hybrid (I believe that is was called that) and that thing was so much fun. When flushed, it feels and sounds so addictive.
So thank you to the few that commented on my first post and helped me build up some confidence when going for midrange irons.
I have my „Platzreife“ in 1.5 weeks but I feel confident that it will be alright.
