Hello Saguto Golfers!
@David and @Tom K I've seen that you have offered feedback on this forum so I wanted to tag you. :)
This is my best attempt at imitating Tom and following his guidelines for "the best golf practice drill ever". As this is foundational I don't wanna mess it up by practicing it wrong for weeks. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you my crispy friends! ;)
@benjamintullis Looks like a great start! One thing you do really well (which I notice because I'm trying very hard to do this) is that you keep the club well out in front of you, putting you on the path to a great swing plain. Not for the entire swing, but you start it well (see below).
A few things I noticed but I could be completely wrong so take the following with several grains of salt:
First, how tall are you? I'm about 5'9 and I'm betting you have about foot over me. I mention this because your relationship to the ball looks decent but you look (to me, anyway) to be standing too tall. Maybe you need a bit more knee bend or, possibly, longer clubs. Again, this is just a guess;
About 7 seconds into your DTL clip, your eyes look back as if you're watching the backswing. This causes your head to move a bit more than you'd want;
Also, at about the same point something happens with your wrists (slight roll, perhaps). Up to that point your torso has been in charge (which is good), after the arms take control. Again, I noticed this because it's something I struggle with.
Lastly, I seriously envy your ability to do the drills slowly and methodically.
Good luck with your practice!
