You have a similar issue to what i have where you can't keep your lead arm straight in the follow through. This can happen for lots different reasons. Some great drills ▶ this video

This looks pretty good! 2 things jump out for me. 1) you need to revisit the grip , especially right hand 2) your arms collapse post-impact and everything folds up, try to keep them extended, it will help several things but especially contact and consistency. Here's a drill to reference ▶ this video

Need more hip rotation. Not sure if you are coming from too from this view but I am guessing yes. It’s more of an upright swing as you are jumping up? This swing is more for a driver/wood than irons (more compression) check Danny Maude on YouTube or Eric cogorno ▶ this video ▶ this video
