We have similar swings and possibly similar problems. Does it feel like you get “stuck” sometimes? Either missing right with a slice or pulling it hard left? It looks like early extension. You’re casting the club towards the last half of your downswing probably to compensate for the fact that you’re not getting your left hip out of the way. Then you use your wrists to try to square the face and that’s really, really …

Don’t try to keep the right hip back. It needs to come forward. The left hip just needs to start clearing. ▶ this video Backswing is unloading the left heel, swing to the top, as you get to the top reload the left heel and from there it should feel athletic and dynamic to just push away from the ball and rotate through.

▶ this video \^There's a lot variations of this hip drill - basically you keep an object behind your lead hip and your goal is to rotate so your left buttcheek moves or touches the object You can also do this against a wall or door frame

Decent swing. Seems to get a little crowded (early extension) in the downswing and your compensating move is to flip the hands a little bit, which is probably causing the two-way miss. It's hard to tell from the down the line angle, but my guess is that if you could work your lead hip more left and back in the downswing, it may help. Maybe check out some youtube videos: ▶ this video ▶ this video
