Shout-out to the usuals, @joey puvel , @Nocona Colt Abernathy , @danny , @James Flood . The success a few weeks ago with the trail arm drill hasn't translated yet to a full swing with both arms. I'm carefully going through each point, trying to get something in 'slow motion' before having at a normal speed swing. The swing plane and the stack is much better, but you can see the awkwardness and things going off in the vids, esp the shoulder turn and spine extension. I'm just not sure where to focus right now to improve. (Is another V1 with @Tom Saguto in order?) :

More huge thanks - 3 good observations here each from @Jari Hissa, @joey puvel and @Gerry_Lager that I've started focusing on: address (square 50/50 with slight hip bump), spine extension "10 oclock and then 2 ", and the hip slide towards target to initiate the downswing. It is fascinating now to feel/see the club face coming in square "on its own" more often than not. Like it could start to get pretty automatic without thinking about it. And a few really satisfying shots showing the way. It's also helping me catch more obvious deviations towards the old "over the top", like this sequence at the top of the backswing:
this last one is my focus on the range today, will keep posting on how it's going. hopefully starting to feel close enough to a comfort level to go out on the course again soon.
