In what way has "your game stalled" (whatever that phrase means)?

I've been around a 7 handicap for a few years without any major improvement.
I hit good shots from time to time and I have a reasonable short game but the lack of consistent ballstriking holds me back.
Probably the same story as a lot of people. There has to be one big issue in the swing that I can fix so that I get better right away and actually see some progress.

I cannot help you because I cannot see any "big issue" wrong with your swing. I think that you have an excellent swing action.

Thanks for taking a look. I'm surprised! When I look at it all I see are problems.
From the face on it looks like I'm close to leftwards centralized pivot going back. Coming down looks like an upper body dive with my head shifting way in front of its address position. I manage to lean the shaft forward a little but I have no axis tilt at impact.
From down the line I look way laid off going back. The club gets steep coming down and I come way off the tush line.

I don't think that you have a leftwards-centralised backswing action (which is reverse pivoting). I think that you simply stay centralised with minimal rightwards-centralised shift.
I think that you have a small amount of movement of the head forward in the downswing - due to your pelvic action, which moves your spine/head forwards as your pelvis moves left-laterally at the start of the downswing. It's not a significant problem and it it causes you to develop less secondary axis tilt. Mike McNary also does this in his downswing action.
I don't think that your club is laid-off at the end-backswing position. I think that it is on-plane on the TSP.
You do come slightly OTT, but it is small in amount and partly related to coming off the tush line (as your right pelvis spins out early in the downswing).
I personally regard all these swing faults as being minor in degree. I think that one can produce a consistently solid ball striking pattern with your swing action.

Do you miss with blocking the ball? Seems like the face has a lot of work to get square and your body is slightly out ahead of the handle on the downswing.
Good swing in general.

Hey thanks. I pull the ball much more than I block it. The big lateral shift forward bothers me but not sure the right way to correct it. Work on it directly or is the the result of something earlier in the swing.
