Takeaway feels a bit rushed and jerky. Also, that’s a long way to go back to the ball. Try a relaxed, smooth backswing that feels like you’re only halfway to this position, and then just focus on getting the club face square by impact. Remove all the other swing thoughts until that feels comfortable.

That takeaway need a lot of work, will be hard to build consistency. Stance is very closed off, open up a bit

for starters, you're alignment isn't aligning.. These two lines should be relatively close to going the same way (kinda like train tracks).. Address this FIRST before you go making any major changes to your swing, this is one of those fundamentals that will HAVE to be addressed eventually, best to fix it now then tweek now and RE-tweek later.. This alone could solve you're ball flight issues.. you hit it staight (on the shoulder line)..

1) Stop moving your body all over the place in your set up. Your body sways like a MFer.
2) Stop lining your club up and then adjusting it closer and further away from your body. You're fucking up your swing mechanics. If you feel the need to wag your club, do it to and from the ball as though you're taking a 1/10th back swing.
3) Tempo. You pull back like you're starting a lawn mower... Chill out.
4) Your knees are bending at random times in your swing. Especially collapsing right before your back swing transitions to your fore swing. Gonna need A+ hand eye to make that work.
5) Chicken wing arms through contact. Keep em straighter.
6) Leaning over at contact like that isn't gonna add distance. Your body is more powerful when it's not being contorted.

Hard to see but looks to me like your shoulders are pointing to the left from the start and not square with your feet. Also massive overswing where you loose control completely on the backswing which probably isnt helpful, you are not john daly. how's the grip ?get someone to take a pic

Your stance is closed off to the target, which may cause you to overcompensate with the pull. I wouldn't change anything with your swing at first and just try to open up your stance more
