Just looking for how to diagnose the swing issues and from there what to work on first
We’ve had two lessons working on driver and primarily have tried to address the poor contact with delivery drills so his right arm doesn’t straighten to early
Thanks for your thoughts

Hi Cameron,
I'd probably start with focusing on contact. I often use the phrase:
solid, straight, far. First trying to hit the ball somewhat solid, then working on direction, and lastly prioritizing distance.
In his case, it looks like he has poor awareness of the club head through impact. So I'd probably start with some 9 to 3's and 10 to 2's working on contact. I'd probably use some feedback like low point yoga block. https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/low-point-yoga-block/?q=yoga%20block
If he really struggles there, then I'd probably do some type of rhythm swing to get him to feel the weight of the club swinging rather than just throwing the stick he's holding at the ball.
After that, he'll have to work on the club face and axis tilt timing, but it looks like he's got some real potential. Good luck!
