Hi everybody! I'm Steve, I've been enrolled in the Saguto Golf School for about a month now. I found Tom's channel on Youtube and gave stack and tilt a try. I couldn't believe how well I struck the ball with just a few changes. I decided that this is the swing I'm sticking with. I've had some really good days with it and a few setbacks with my old habits trying to come back. But anyway here where I am so far. The great thing about Tom's school is you can video yourself and see things you need to work on. I'm hoping 2022 is my best ball striking year yet!

@Steve Napier - It looks like you have gotten plenty of help on diagnosing your swing.😀 You've been given a lot of good drills to work through, but as tempting as it is to go start swinging, you really need to deep dive into Tom's content and learn the swing backwards and forwards. (The fast track program might be the one for you). One thing you will find out reading on this forum is that a lot of things are your preference...with a few exceptions. I'm not saying that anyone is wrong, I'm saying what makes it click for you versus everyone else might be different.
As far as analysis of the video, I think you have a good start for someone transitioning. As many have pointed out, your arms are currently working independently of your body. That is because you have lost your connection. The image below hopefully explains. The GREEN LOOKING "V" is theoretically where you arms should be at that moment in your downswing. Make sense? The "tee drill" that Tom referenced is a good one to work on this, or simply have that as your swing thought. Tom also has a "hogan arms" video on Youtube.
