That’s because you’re probably shoving your hands forward to try to get shaft lean. You’re doing it wrong, you need to get the hands to your back hip and turn it into the ball. Don’t let the hands go “forward” they will go forward with momentum, but we don’t swing them laterally to our front leg.

Watch this video to understand the arm movements ▶ this video I found it helpful once I started to focus on the upper part of the right arm 'lifting' in the backswing and then lowering in the downswing.

Okay well it might feel like a pretty big change, but it’s something that is important to work on in the long term. You trail arm has to lift slightly, and the reconnect to your side in the downswing. This is a big component of distance (but you still need it even if you aren’t chasing speed).

At first I didn't see but I think I understand. Your backswing picks up early then flattens late. Your trail arm bends and pulls back rather than lifts.

Not quite, more in the backswing. The shoulders turn in the takeaway and then pull the hips around. You don't want too much or too little.
