Move your hips back so you’re less on top of the golf ball with your upper half. The crown of your head should be more parallel with the ball not past it. Once you give the swing room to engage the golf ball, you will feel more athletic (turning with the ability to square your club). To do this, sit your hips back and keep using the camera till you get in position: Here is a visual to help- ▶ this video
