These are of my son. We know at the top of the backswing his position is not ideal but we are having problems correcting it. Also at impact he loses his spine angle. We welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

You're going to 'lose' your spine angle at impact. Every good player does. I think this swing has some real potential. Needs to change his grip, particularly with the right hand and not rotate the LAFW so much on the backswing. I think those would be good places to start.

He pushes or push/fades on his misses. Even with a wedge sometimes. Is the right hand too weak or too strong? It might be hard to see but the left hand is quite weak.
It looks like he is using an arm swing that gets ahead of his body movements. I see a lot of contorted effort there trying to maintain extension and get the clubface through impact with his lower body lagging behind. The golf swing should be body and hands, not arms and hands. The arms should be passive except for the forearm muscles working the hands.
I first recommended an instruction book, but I edited this post. This is Brian's forum, so maybe Brian or one of the other instructors can tell you how to easily make a body powered golf swing like the pros.

I can see how that would explain his foot action as seen in the DTL video.
Yes. In a correct swing, his right heel would be off the ground well before impact.

I just cringe at statements like, "In a correct swing". I don't think trailing heel off the ground before impact is necessarily the case in all good swings.

No doubt, Kenny Perry keeps his right heel down well into the follow through.

Both are very weak. That just about forces him to rotate the LAFW. Also hurts with power. Don't worry about the spine angle stuff, really not pertinent.

Yes, there are some unconventional swings that a few players have managed to make reliable, but I would not recommend any of those swings.

Sorry, JamesBurg, there is no such thing as a "Correct Swing". You are speaking in absolutes about something is not absolute.
You are correct, a bad choice of a word without thinking about it.
