"In my experience, if you stay with the essentials you WILL build a repeatable swing undoubtedly. If you can master the Imperatives you have a champion" (Vikram).
The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
As you noted, your head drops down dramatically at the start of your downswing. It looks like it is dropping up to 6 inches. If you didn't have this move you would miss the ball completely. You do a great job of compensating with this move though. Much better to drop at the start of the downswing than later on in the stroke.
IMO you are standing as far as possible from the ball at address while still being able to physically sole the club behind the ball. This is because you are using mid-body high hands with an extended left arm. No other position could get you further from the ball. At actual impact, your radius is much shorter because the hands are ahead, your left shoulder is higher and back, and your left wrist is flat. Your head and shoulders need to be much closer to the ball at setup. I believe there are various ways to do this: i) Keep the high hands but bend your left elbow until you are close enough. Extensor will snap left arm longer and taut as you start backswing ii) Lower your hands so that you can get closer. Many pros look this way. You will need a plane shift at some point in your swing. iii) Setup at impact fix with your hands ahead and left shoulder higher instead of at mid-body.
BTW - I may have no idea what I am talking about because I am pretty terrible at golf. However, I believe I suffered from having my head and shoulders too far from the ball for a long time. What's different though is my ability to compensate was much worse than yours. Rather than dropping at the start of the downswing or during the backswing, I would do my best to keep my head steady till the last possible minute. Then my subconscious would kick in at the last minute telling me I would miss the ball. The result would be a huge terrible flipping of the hands (which adds radius) or a jerky dipping of the right shoulder and head down just before impact causing a loss of balance, or both at the same time.
IMO - standing too far from the ball is a major cause of flipping. This is also why my practice swing looked so great but my actual shot was completely terrible. There was no subconscious kicking in during the practice swing telling me that I would miss the ball and pulling out compensations. Ball position relative to my head and shoulders at address is critical for me - I don't have good enough hand eye coordination to compensate for a bad position so I need to get it perfect before I start the stroke.
Good swing other than needing "lag" on the top and sustaining it coming around.
__________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.

I am thrilled to realise I am a true blue Hitter. My search for a perfect swing for me is over at last, after One year of seaching, looking, asking. Because I had immediately seen results, Not only its natural for me to execute , but its more stable, accurate, and consitent in yardage. I struggled with the new changes on first 9 and more or less got it on the 2nd 9,( Yeah I am a driving range hater) The sound venturi effect , the 260+ meters (measure using skycaddy) . straight very tight fade drives made all the cute Caddies squeal with excitements, as they say its been quite some while since the Indonesian open they seen some long hitters , 280m was the longest due to mishit on the bottom of the club. Well I am ahead of my playing partners by 40-50 meters consistently in the 2nd 9. My Fake pirated 2i hybrid 8 meters> their longest driver distance.
Well , I'm pretty messed up today. Forgot to bring my wedges so I only had a pitching wedge, and took the wrong putter ... And messing around with the correct alignments for my irons , there is a huge change.
Give me a couple or more weeks to assimilate what I had learnt from the 2 True Master of TGM and I will post my new swing.
I know some of you guys don't believe the distance gains. I did not believe its possible .. Until Justin Demonstrated, Convinced me that Everyone can do it if they have faith in him, then taught me, And come to think of it, the results is from totally literally trusting him 100% , my uncle took 2 lessons and told me its tough and he is not hitting further ... jeeze if golf is that easy, everybody will be a pro!. I explained Comdpa is not a Band Aid Man, and ask him to have trust. Hope something in the incubator hatched for him.
No joke, the stuff Justin teach is either riduculously sounds too easy or too hard to perform. but when something hatch in the incubator, Bingo. That's TGM.
Its hard to become effective. And you have to become Effective to play Easy golf. So true so true.
Thanks for reading !
