Christian - you've got the basics of a very solid motion there.

A few things to focus on that should help

At impact fix, check to see that your right forearm and shaft are in line from down the line, and that the right wrist is 'level' - this may feel like your hands are higher at address

During your swing - use your right arm to push/extend your left - extensor action

this will really tighten up your swing, and you may find that you'll only be able to swing at 3/4's

A drill to feel this is to grab your left wrist with your right hand/palm and feel that extension, pulling the left arm with the right - during the entire motion

This will also get your pivot moving more through the shot, so you feel like you can stand tall and hold your finish until the ball stops - a fantastic way to check your balance (as is some eyes closed swings back/through with a heavy club)

You also should try some drills allowing the left forearm to rotate through the shot - with the left hand grip you have now, you may hit some hooks, but that is ok - try some left arm only motions back/through letting the left forearm rotate (watch face facing the ground) - this is an extreme - but it is an important step to allowing your pivot to move through


As far as your backswing path - focus on the inside corner of the ball, not the back of the ball - like you are kicking a soccer ball
