Focus on takeaway. Looks way too inside, then back outside on down swinging, so classic inside out push/slice. Take it away to parallel, club parallel to the ground, then take the club up, rather than further inside/around you. I'm sure will feel weird at first, but should straighten out. ▶ this video 2:30
