what i am talking about is you should almost feel like the club head is weighted and it is hard to pick up. i remember yoda made me feel like it weighed a lot it is also the wet mop affect. what really helped me was to get a heavy mop and swing with that you will feel the lag in the take back and also that lag you would like before you come to impact.
Lagging clubhead takeaway?
I started mucking around with that this weekend...added compression at impact instantly for me!
You're on your way to a good motion. Looks to me that you may want to focus on some slow motion plane line tracing. The club is moving out/over plane, which forces you to keep the clubface a bit too closed going back in order to make solid contact and keeps your right side too high through the ball.
Try some "left foot right toe" drills - setup, then move your right foot back (about a 6 inches/foot behind the left heel, up on the toe). Keep your shoulder line square.
This will give you a much more 'underhanded pitch' feel and let you feel a 'cleared right hip' and a lower right shoulder through impact.
Flexibility may be an issue, so use just 3/4 swings with a wedge to start. 'Allow' a bit more of a startup swivel as you start back.
You may find that at first you will either pull hook the heck out of it, or perhaps hit some hosel rockets because of your current tendencies, but stick with it and keep tracing that straight plane line.

Allow a bit more of a startup swivel as I start back???Could you please explain??

It looks to me like you are holding the clubface in a very 'closed' position on the backswing, perhaps adding a bit of counter clockwise rotation. Once you get on plane a bit better, if you make that move you will hit pulls/pull hooks and you'll need to allow the clubface to stay in a more neutral position, neither adding counter clockwise rotation or 'actively' turning the hands too much with clockwise rotation - let the flat left wrist and plane line tracing be you guide. If you have those, you'll be in good shape. Focus on impact fix and let your hands feel 'set' in their relationships (flying wedges) and you won't be far from great golf.

I don't understand what is meant by straight plane line. Please explain?
It is the line the incline plane is attached to on the ground. Like a roof as the incline plane, the gutter is the Straight Plane Line. This is the line that is traced. The "roof" (incline plane) can vary its angle. The "gutter" (plane line) is always straight.
