Should implement more core rotation on your backswing and also stiffen it up near the top, to much movement and whippy. You seem a bit hunched as well, clubs looked like they were held to low / close to you.
 
Bauss, said it pretty well. The tempo was not bad for a beginner.

i think bauss said it right as far as my hands/club look too close to my body as to why i changed my set up/posture. i draw it better now.

and i'm not a beginner ...beginners are much worse lol
 
On your takeaway, your left arm should be completely straight until the club hinges. Same coming through -- after impact it should feel as if you are reaching straight out to shake someone's hand.

Other than that I think you have a good swing man. Nice high finish, good posture.

"How I know this": I passed the PGA player ability test after high school.
 
^^^^ Agreed, your finish is very calm and consistent + it looks good
 
I've been playing since I was 12. I'm 36 now, so I've got a few years under my belt. I'm a 3.7 index right now, which is the lowest I've ever been. I'm lucky enough to live on a private course where I'm a member so I can play whenever I want very easily. That's helped my game get to where it is now. I don't have any recent swing video, or I'd post it.

I know you didn't come here for tips, but since you posted your vid, I'll give you my 2 cents. Your swing isn't bad at all. Dp you still struggle with slices a bit? Looks like you've got a weak grip. You might want to try turning that right hand under a bit and make sure you can see at least 2, if not 3, knuckles on the left hand. Maybe try to extend that left arm out a bit to the top of your backswing to create some width. You'll get a lot more power and consistency than if the club is just laying across your shoulders. Other than that, looks good. Since this is old, your new swing might not look a damn thing like this. If that's the case, please disregard everything I've said.

Looks like you're at the range at the lighted course off the 405 in Lawndale.
