I believe that is what it is called. One of the biggest ahah moments I have had revolves around the idea that you shouldn’t accelerate your swing until the bottom of the swing. If you were to try to do that right now with your current swing it would be impossible. You can’t start the swing with your arms slowly then at the bottom speed them up.

Good athletic moves. They only thing I can see is at 9 O’clock, you begin to take the club super upright. Look at the angle of your left arm relative to your right ear.

For me your main issue is your hip rotation or more specifically lack of. On the face of it, it looks like you've rotated your hips on the back swing. But in reality you have swung your lower body around which is why your left foot lifts so much. You are then coming in quite steep and not rotating your hips through fully.

Hi I’m Mr Meeseek, look at meeee! Have you tried bending your knees and keeping your back straight? Joking aside, the club at the top of your swing wants to be pointing where you are going to hit it, then the club should come back along the same path it went up.
