I can tell that you do the same thing I've been trying to eliminate. You're not rotating on an axis through your tailbone on the downswing, evidenced by your hips/tailbone moving toward the ball. Which all starts with your posture and setup. If your hips are not over your heels, you have no choice but to get your hips moving the wrong way. This video was helpful for me: ▶ this video

This is an awesome video talking about what you should actually be trying to do on body rotation: ▶ this video The idea of rolling from my left butt cheek to my right (I'm a righty) on the imaginary pane of glass is my number one swing thought right now and I love it because it's not about hitting a good shot or even contact with the ball, its all about putting your body in the best position to have a good swing. …

I often hit pulls off the end of the club because my body is more moving left and not towards the target. I’m single digits but very inconsistent on strike when I’m off. When paired with proper mechanics at the top, I …
