Here’s a video of me with my driver, with a mix of some pretty bad hits and some decent ones. By watching film, I know most of my miss hits are caused by a very out to in clubhead path. However, I’m confused on how I would go about fixing it. I know that I’m supposed to be swinging on an arc, and hitting up on a ball in the front of my stance, I don’t know how NOT to hit it inside out. I feel like I have much better hits with my irons because the ball is in the middle of my stance. How would be the best way to go about fixing this?

How long is that damn driver!!??
I am probably wrong, but I don’t think club head path is the issue you’re having. That first shot looks like you’re trying to do too much with your hands.
swing like you are swinging to the left field and close the club face with your right hand on the downswing.
U just need to lift up the club more with your arms during backswing
It might help to not wear your little sisters shorts.
Try to hit the ball dead right with a closed stance. See what that does
It’s your takeaway. I think it’s the most important part of the swing aside from the fundamentals grip/setup/alignment.
Problem here is your takeaway is flat. A flat backswing makes the club get stuck behind you prior to impact, and then you have to flip or manipulate the club head with your hands at impact to square the club face. Your club face is super open before impact.
See the screenshot below
You’re athletic af and have great lower body movement. You’re going to be fine once something clicks. I would literally just look up some takeaway instructional vids and take it from there. Make sure you practice different takeaway/backswing feels slowly before you rip it as hard as you do. Watch Adam Scott, Rory, TW, Ernie..all beautiful driver swings.
